You might be a gun nut if you strike up a conversation about wheel guns versus bottom feeders with the officer that pulled you over for "failure to come to a complete stop".
And he lets you off with a warning
I actually did that once but it was discussion about Glocks vs 1911.

In my case, it was a young cop pulling me over for speeding. I passed over my CHL along with my license, as required, and he perked up and asked, "What are you carrying?" He got so into talking guns that he almost forgot to tell me I'd been speeding and to please slow it down.

I love Texas.

And if you choose barber shops, dentist's and doctor's offices based on the magazine selection in their waiting rooms, avoiding the celebrity worship rags such as People, US, Entertainment Weekly and pick those professionals that have piles of American Rifleman, Outdoor Life, Guns & Ammo, Field and Stream on those waiting room tables... you might just be a gun nut.

It's probably due to my age (74 now) that I've visited more doctor's and dentist's office since the first of the year than I did in the last 10 years put together. I've learned to take my own guns and outdoor magazines with me when I go. It's bad enough that there are "No Weapons" signs on the doors of those doctor's and dentist's offices I have to visit without having anything to read except, as you said, "celebrity worship rags" in the waiting rooms. :(
BTW, sometimes I just leave the magazines I brought along in the waiting rooms. They've usually disappeared by the time I have to go again a month or so later. I hope that's because other patients stole them, and not just because the doctor's and dentist's receptionists threw them away. ;)

As I was reading the first part of your post, I thought, "You should leave some behind when you leave." You beat me to it.

I have a stack of old issues of "Shooting Illustrated" I've been thinking of throwing out. Maybe I'll save them to donate to waiting rooms. Having an NRA rag around just might cause a few heads to explode!

You should shop around for some like mine.
The dentist my family goes to paid a LGS a "$500 for life" that'll cover receiving his firearm orders instead of $20 every time. This is according to the FFL dealer, who claims to now be in the hole.

Or the nice doctor lady, (no sign on the door) when I was getting a shot of steroid/antibiotics. I rolled up my sleeve, she says "sorry, but it goes in the other end" I politely claimed that I was shy...no such luck. So I explained that I was carrying and was trying to avoid an uncomfortable situation for her. She replied "well if you're worried about it, hold on to your gun so it doesn't hit the floor. Mine is in my purse over there..."

In my case the officer (young kid) asked if I had a gun in the car and my reply was "Well, we are in Arizona. Of course there's a gun in the car!" He started the conversation when he asked what it was (2" Taurus Titanium .44 Special) and then proceeded to tell me the police force required semi-autos for duty weapons but he preferred revolvers when he went hiking or biking.

I’m collecting.40 S&W brass for the day when I might buy a .40. I’ve been diagnosed as a gun nut, and if you collect brass just in case you get that gun someday, you might be as well.

Me too. Also 45ACP.

What? No, not having a 45ACP yet doesn't make me unpatriotic! I have a daughter in college. Bills to pay. Can't buy everything at once. I have a 45 Colt. Also an M1 Garand. Happy?
