Sounds like a righteous deal to me.

I could see the deal getting a guy or two to get off their backsides and take a knee.
I wouldn't tell the woman involved that you picked up a shotgun in the deal, though.
I seem to recall one deal where if one purchased a firearm that it came with a Scrabble game. Talk about your bad ideas.

You'll shoot your &!@% off, kid.

Well, this way all the guys in Iowa will still have more guns than they have women.

Why the dumbass comment about concealed carry? "Dear, thanks for the ring, but are you glad to see me or is that a shotgun in your pants?"

In case she says no?

Yah, well, Iowa's the kind of neighbor that always has a tractor up on blocks in its driveway, anyway. We complain and complain to the association, but...

What is this... a new twist on Fast and Furious ?

With a wedding song by Guns 'n' Roses.

If you can carry an 870 concealed, you are a) very tall, b) very well-endowed, or c) fond of Aussie-style dusters.

Clankie, Fast & Furious in Iowa consists of a 15-year old boy on a tractor chasing a heifer out of a drainage ditch.

A bit extreme, I think. Divorce is the better answer.
