the old : i got it for you baby, doesn't fly but once, and will be shot down even then...in a blaze of gloryYeah I made the mistake of buying my wife a gift for Mothers Day that was firearms related. Once was all it took to learn that lesson. I still catch flak for it ten years later. Maybe yours is different. Buy her a thermal for Christmas and cover both bases. But hey, you only get plausible deniability once, so might as well make it a $5,000 thermal scope
