On a similar note, I own 4 lbs. of powder, several hundred primers, several hundred bullets, several hundred rounds of brass, four sets of dies, and two loading manuals, but have yet to actually buy a press.
How does this cart/horse thing work again?
(actually been using my buddy's press)

There ya go - that's how the "cart/horse thing" works. Nothing at all wrong with using your buddy's "cart" OR "horse" until you can get one of your own.

.........Sounds like something I would do. Like a couple years ago when I bought a 1943 manufactured Walther P-38 because I already owned a 1943 dated P-38 holster with German acceptance marks.
... Although I'll admit that I wanted a P-38 anyway and was just seeking a decent one regardless of manufacture date. The P-38 I bought was decent in both condition & price and it was the manufacture date that pushed me over the edge to buy it.

Well, that depends on what it's in case of.
If it's in case you find a great deal on some gun stuff (like a brick of primers), I agree.
If it's in case of general societal / economic instability, I'd say having a stash of cash somewhere just means you've been paying attention to recent history.
When I was about 22 I met a Police officer in my town who was a licensed firearms dealer and would only buy a firearm if it was 99%+he would actually try to find a reason not to buy it! If he got something that was 99% he would have to buy a second (not as nice) one to shoot. The only problem was the second was as nice as the first!
He once got a letter from the principal of his high school, thanking him for bringing in his machine gun collection
(mid 50's NJ!)
He did have plenty of shooters (later got an SOT). Well his passion wore off on me and I can agree with what is posted here: cartridges, powders, firearms used as passwords.
Once my first wife said to me, "Don't you read anything but gun mags?"
I don't miss her!

In .308 Norma's case:
A) His Sweetie probably knows the combination to his safe better than HE does, and
B) His Sweetie probably has money hidden from HIM for HER own "just in case" incident, and
C) he would likely be scolded if he did NOT buy a gun he or she liked/wanted/desired, etc.

2A was "political" when it was first adopted.
Or if you can't help giving a little grin when your clocks happen to show a relevant number like those. Or 3:16. That's another one which smilerates me.

I’ll play! You might be a gun nut if:
Your wife returns from a weekend trip to the beach with “the girls” and discovers the long gun safe you installed at the back of the guest bedroom closet. When she sarcastically asks “Do we even have a closet without a gun safe?” ………. And you answer, “no, not now!”
When you won’t tell other gun nuts how many firearms you have because you know they’ll think you’re lying.
When you realize that no one but you has the keys and combinations to the safes & lockboxes because you don’t want your wife to find all those guns.
Yes, I know, I have a problem.

you might be a gun guy when you watch 6 hours of “ How to bury and find your guns “
if you have a bathroom gun
if you have more than 10 guns you have never fired
if you think Gun will beat inflation (it does)
if you bought 15 Anderson lower, pre-Hillary, just incase
if you keep a glock between your couch seat (did this when I was a single man living alone)
When you play “Call of Duty” and you keep a AR/AK and a pistol next to you, to fondle between matches
When you hang guns on the Wall

Like the punch line from the old priest joke: "Are you confessing, or bragging?"This is turning into a gun nut confessional.

Yes sir, all of that is true.In .308 Norma's case:
A) His Sweetie probably knows the combination to his safe better than HE does, and
B) His Sweetie probably has money hidden from HIM for HER own "just in case" incident, and
C) he would likely be scolded if he did NOT buy a gun he or she liked/wanted/desired, etc.
I haven't told the story about why I ordered my beloved 308 Norma Mag as my retirement gift to myself in this thread, but here it is: When I was 16, my then girlfriend's dad had a custom 308 Norma Mag that I loved. He even let me shoot it a couple of times. And when that girlfriend broke up with me, I was heartbroken because I knew I'd never get to see and hold that rifle again.So when I turned 62, I looked around for someone who would build me a custom 308 Norma Mag. Montana Rifle Company built it, and I paid for it with my first two Social Security checks. My wife (who is just as big of a "gun nut" as I am emotionally) was all for it. She smiles when she tells people why I have a custom 308 Norma Mag - "Because he remembers more about a rifle that a former girlfriend's dad had than he remembers about the girlfriend."
BTW, my wife sometimes teases me by asking if I'm sure that former girlfriend's name wasn't Norma. It wasn't - her name was Margaret. And Mrs. .308 Norma (Barbara) is prettier than Margie ever was anyway.

I think so too. And I like how my Glock 19, as well as my Glock 44 feels in my hand.You might be a gun nut if you think Glocks look good. (they do)

............. Almost guilty of that one. Never owned a .270 but reloaded a lot of it for a buddy of mine. He has since sold his .270 to finance other guns and I have all this once or twice fired .270 brass here, along with some bullets. Saw a nice Ruger American in .270 and had to force myself to walk away.

You might be a gun nut if all guns look good (they do, some in rather kooky ways, to be said).You might be a gun nut if you think Glocks look good. (they do)

For gun nuts who also are gearheads we have a few guns that match engine sizes:
Ford 460 V8: 460 s&w magnum
Cadillac 500 V8: 500 s&w magnum
The Harley flat head V-twins were 45 cubic inches, so the Colt 45.
