Why are you telling your mom?
Both my parents are pro-gun rights, though not into guns all that much themselves. I still don't tell them much. |

My mot h error also threatened to disown me if I bought a handgun.
Bought one anyway. She got mad but needs me to take care of do to health issues so I live with and take care of her. Solution was to take her to shoot the handgun. I created a monster. She now has 5 handguns, chl and expects a gun related present on mother's day, birthday and Christmas. She now also has 4 bolt rifles and two ar's I built for her. She 80 getting revenge through my bank account. |

The proper response is to get 2 hand guns that way if she asks if you got a hand gun "singular" you are not lieing when you tell her no. Years ago when I worked campus security I was called into the chief's office one day. Chief asked me: "Does Bob K carry a gun on duty ?" (We both worked graveyard shift, and Bob K was a NFA collector who regularly carried 2 or 3 guns concealed on his person as did I even though it was against the rules.) I responded, "No, he does not carry a gun on duty." -Chief smiled and sent me on my way. |

Quit worrying about her money and go make some of your own. It's not like she is going to give it to you anytime soon anyway.

Explain to her that we live in a dangerous world that has become increasingly more dangerous due to the policies of President Obama who has imported hundreds of thousands of military fighting age men from societies who do not value life. Then explain to her that a side arm is a defensive weapon to be employed as an exit strategy should you or a love one become a victim of one of President Obama's predictors.
Additionally, in a polite society there are three things that men don't talk about, your women, your money, and your guns. |

Keep mouth shut, buy gun and more like it.
Recently my Dad told me i needed to stop buying guns since i have no one to pass them on to, i said okay fine I will sell a few....Instead I bought 6 more over a 6 week time frame including a suppressor. Then 2 months later i bought him a Colt Comp 1911 and an Aero M5 that smashed his idea of selling more guns. I presented the Colt for early Bday gift and then the M5 for his bday. About 4 weeks apart. Moral here is, dont listen. How is your mother gonna find out? Does she come over or do you go visit often? If not dont worry. One thing ive learned is someone who doesnt like guns that much is the more you involve them in the sport the less they hate guns. Except the devote libs. |

Whether you buy the pistol or not you need to walk away from this relationship. She is seeking to control you, how you spend your money, and is defining the relationship. This is not a healthy relationship.

Tell your mom that she's right, you're not going to buy a pistol, and you're getting into stamp collecting instead.
Or just buy it and keep your mouth shut, it's not like it's any of her business anyway. ETA: My mom used to threaten me with disinheritance all the time over stupid shit like this. She's dead now. Guess what? Not only was I not disinherited, I was the administrator of her estate. |

"Oh yea? Get any new ones in?" Nah, Too much money spent on the bike." - Guns AND a motorcycle? I'm the devil child, right?
"Ah, well I still need to figure out which gun I'd like to get." "We'll be home for the holidays. We'll find something that you feel comfy with" "kthxbye"
OP Wants a pistol? OP needs to go buy a pistol And he needs to remember its easy to ask forgiveness than permission.

Sounds like you need to man up and find your own career path, and move a long way away from your controlling mother. Phone calls, and visits home for holidays will be plenty of contact. Time to cut the apron strings. Then again if she would threaten to disown you for buying a pistol who know what other petty shit she is going to pull while dangling that juicy inheritance over your head. |
