You could have your missus-to-be buy a gun for you if you want one pretty bad. Concealed carry of course is a different deal altogether.

True, 48 hours I think is the timelimit for destruction of purchase records. I just did the usual ticking off and signed it. Then promptly took my shiny new toy for playtime on the range.

I'm not suggesting you carry someone else's gun, just borrow it from your wife for shooting. Its just like going to the range and renting a gun.
