You might be gun geek if....

You undertstand abreviations like SHTF and BOB.

The humor of little men in Blue Hats, "Black Helicopters" and Tin Foil.

Phone converstations with friends always start with hey did you get another gun. What did you get?
 
...you can talk your boss into letting you put a few rounds through a new gun during lunch break on company property :D

You carry a signed copy of your FFL's license in your wallet "just in case"

You have a duplicate range bag that lives in your car's trunk

Upon seeing a pic of a naked girl holding a pistol, you ID the gun before you check out the girl

::quilty::

When you see that one lone beatup auto and you don't see it as it is now but what it can become.

You have grips handmade and shipped to you from overseas

You get that "first Scratch" on your new(er) gun and you feel like you've hurt a friend

My momma is 79 years old and knows I'm a gun geek. She has it down pat...no pauses or hesitation...

When someone comes to visit and brings kids or drunks you have to go through your house and secure all of your guns:eek:

When someone is considering buying their first gun one of your friends sends them to you for advice and hands on experience.

You read the classified ads every day, just in case there is a gun for sale at a good price.

You go to your sisters church and have to keep your coat on because of a gun.:eek:

You tell someone of the opposite sex that you are not interested in another date because of their stance on gun control.

Your wife/husband tells you either some guns will have to go or they will. So you tell them that is not necessary, but you will REALLY miss them:uhoh:
 
You use HOPPE'S as cologne.

You know the serial numbers of 15 of your guns, but can't remember your wedding anniversary.


While pre-arranging your funeral you ask the funeral director for a coffin model with a gun rack.


you've ever "dated" at a shooting range.


If your wife has never successfully thrown away a cotton T-shirt.


You've gladly spent 3 times too much for groceries at a convienient mart drive thru , so you wouldn't have to leave your guns alone in a grocery store parking lot.

You've explained "minute of angle" on a first date.

You can't remember the last Christmas that didn't include guns or gun accessories.

You've wondered why every one at the Macdonalds was looking at you every time you spoke, only to find out you forgot to remove your ear plugs.

You've pulled out 3 different handgun rounds out of your pocket while looking for change in a check-out line.

You have at least one closet in your house that is useless because of a safe.

You've listed "bullet casting" as one of your "great loves" on a dating service website.


If you have ever "lost" a gun in your house because you did too good a job getting ready for a family vacation.

If you spend a Friday evening writing stupid gun jokes on a gun forum.:D
 
Automatically counting EVERY shot fired in movies ... to assess whether capacities genuine or not.

I read this, laughed out loud, and read it to my wife.


She replied, "I just don't tell you when I do it."


I think I've been outflanked! :what:


:D


... you go clothing shopping and the first criteria is how well it works for CCW!

.... you look at a new car and one of the criteria is whether or not there's a good place to keep "things" out of sight!
 
Under your computer monitor at work is a line of spent 22 rimfire cases that have fallen out of the treads in your boots after a night at the range... and your wallpaper is P95carry's muzzle flash photo :uhoh:

Guilty as charged.

GM7 ... I am honored .... glad that others can enjoy that fluke shot.:)

KY buckey ... I too had reason to ROTFLMAO on your excellent selection. T-Shirt? .. . yep ... same here! And ... oh my ... glad someone else does that ..... ''pull out three different handgun rounds with change'' ...... Hahahaha!!:D
 
You have a hour that you can spend at the range and you're torn over which guns you want to take.

You buy ammo, for a gun you don't have, because you just may get one.

Then you see you have ammo for a gun you don't have, so you go and get one :D.

When they have STANDARD* capacity mags on sale, for rifles and pistols you don't own, you get a couple anyway.

If a gun shop was robbed, and the criminals used gloves, you would be worried because you've touched every gun in the place.

You are at a gun show, you see a gun that you don't really need, or want, but get it because the price is too good to pass up.

*Standard = Mag capacities that were originally made for the pistol/rifle, what the anti's and now some of us (not me) call "hi-caps".

Guilty as Charged, Your Honor! Its good to see that I'm not the only one!!:D
Truthfully, #2 above doesn't exactly apply. No car here. I'm a Truck guy.:neener: HOPPE'S is a great scent, but Mrs. AZLib doesn't care for it all that much, so I have to wash up after cleaning the guns. After 20 years of marriage, I don't think we date, but we do, occassionally entertain ourselves at the range.

How about these...

One of your primary reasons for working out is to make IWB more comfortable.

You automatically tactically scope out parking lots, restaurant seating, etc.

You have a whole box full of holsters that at one time you thought were the thing to have, but now never see the light of day.
 
You manage to severely cheese off your family by pausing "The Matrix: Reloaded" at the scene in the Merovengian's mansion where Neo stops all the bullets so you can see what every gun being used is.

You can successfully identify all of them without referring to the internet.

You, before you are legally an adult, manage to identify an obscure pistol being used at the range... down to variant... and have the owner tell your parent at the range, "your son scares me..."

You notice various gun terms everywhere, like in license plates or television shows (like in Chobits (an anime) you notice the cow's ear tags say "223."

You somehow always manage to look at the clock just at 4:54. 3:57, 5:56, 2:23, etc.

You get a license plate like 4570-GVT or 454-CSUL.

All except the last have happened to me, and the last will when I get a car...

Edit: By the way, what does TEOTWACKI or whatever stand for?

Guilty! This can be taken way further:

You've ever reinforced a closet floor because of the safe/ammo you plan on storing in it.

Your apartment is a mess, but your guns, ammo and accesories are neatly organized.

When you hear the words "the one that got away", you think of Gunbroker.
