When you clear out all of the dvd's and stuff under your entertainment system to store ammo stockpile because you can organize it neatly in the divided drawers. Only to have the drawer break a week or 2 later due to the weight. You reinforce the drawer so you can store items which you have less than 1000 rounds of so you can see what to buy easily and store the remainder of the ammo in the closet moving the dvd's again to the garage.

You order enough ammo to get free shipping.

You get a job at a gun club because other people will let you shoot there guns if you act interested.

You know where every gun store within 50 miles is and the best route to take to visit all of them and the range.

Hello friends and neighbors // When friends and family refer to your arsenal
and you think they are kidding.

I just did a 12 hour turn around across the state of N.C. (for work) and stopped at six(6) Wally's and seven (7) smaller stores looking for 357/38 ammo deals. I bought all three boxes of Winchester 357 110gr, only three stores had any, one box each. Some CCI .22 shotshells( three boxes) and a 550 pack of federal copper washed hollow point. No 38 rounds at all.

Does this make me a gun nut?
P.S. Don't bother looking for 357/38 ammo along highway 41 in N.C. :rolleyes:
 
When you reply to a "you might be a gun nut" thread with places to get ammo because others can't find it.

content - In VA, come down I95. Take 17N for about 10 miles. Take a right on 15/29. Gun store on the left side of the road does have lots of .38 +P and some .357. Also have pretty much everything else but .380.
 
Hello friends and neighbors// scythefwd thanks for the tip

I called them,Clark Bros.(nice folks), next time I'm up that way I'll check in. They have Rem. 357 158gr.sp for $51.99 per 50 rnds. // Win. 38+P 125gr. jhp for $31.95.

Higher price than around here (S.C.) but "in stock" rules.
One day I may try online but for now I enjoy the search (also gives me an excuse to check local deals on weapons):)
Thanks again....content

This brings me to another Gun Nut fact that my friend pointed out to me today.///// I carry my FFL's business card in the front mesh area of my wallet, just in case. :D
