You know you are a GUN NUT if...

You cringe when someone at the range says " Hey, let me see that clip."
when they really mean, Magazine.

When once a year the local police department takes perfectly good guns to the local Metal Mill for destruction.
( I saw an emaculate Remington 700 BDL with a Nikon get cut in half and tossed into the furnace.) Cry.
 
1. If your lady is looking at furniture and all you can think of is what guns you could buy for the same price

2. If you decide on a certain make of car just because of the trunk space to carry your Mosin nagant to the range.

3. If you watch old war movies and it makes you want to build a time machine to go back and do some battlefield gun scavenging... gotta' get it up to 88 mph!!
 
  • ...if you hike your chronograph into the backcountry for the elk hunt, and you plan to use it when you get a shot at a bull because you really want to know exactly how hard that hunting load hit.
 
... you would rather have a cache of ammo than actual cash...

... you spend half of your work day on a gun forum with other gun nuts...
 
You check fedex tracking 15 times a hour to see if there is a update to your package. You see your package is coming today and can't sit still. You have everything laid out for your new BP rifle on the kitchen table. When the fedex man leaves the package is opened before he leaves the driveway. You have ran a couple wet and dry patches down the barrel before he gets a block away. You have pulled the nipple and lubed it and replaced it within two minutes. You fire the first shot within 10 minutes of receiving the gun. This all happened this afternoon. Do I have a problem?
 
You read all 200+ posts on a thread even though you didn't really understand the OP's question, and haven't understood a single answer since post #2. You do this because "you might just learn something."
 
You meet a girl, and become aroused. She asks if you have a gun in your pocket, or are you happy to meet her. You answer that you're happy to see she is carrying a gun!

When no one in your family or neighborhood worries about SHTF, because they all know you have enough for them too.

When you know better acronyms than your teenager. AR, AK, CCW, OC, ACP, SP, SPM, LR, LRM, LP, LPM, SR, SRM,HK, SW, SKS........etc.
 
When your friends comment that you really have a lot of firearms around your house and they don't realize that those are only the broken decoy ones you would let get stolen!

You reread each post here more than 10 times,:D
 
You have fonder memories of the first time you shot a gun than you do of your first kiss.

The specs of the first gun you ever owned roll off your tounge easier than the specs of your first girlfriend.

You can't get the position as a Weapons Specalist because: "You know too much about that already, we can use you elsewhere."

I argued that point for less than five minutes before they saw the error in their ways.

If you bought a Ford Taurus, Chevy Beretta, or Dodge Caliber because of their names.

If someone says that they don't like how their Taurus looks and you give them the names and phone numbers of 3 custom gunsmiths before you realize that they are talking about their car.

If you want to move to Alaska because the postal abbreviation is AK.

If the UPS man stops at your house to see if you're OK because it has been 2 weeks since he has delivered any ammo to you.

If you need to make 2 trips with a 20' Ryder truck just to move all of your gun stuff to your new house.

If you have a "Gun Room".

If instead of a "Gun Room", you have a "Gun Wing".

If you inventory your ammo by the case instead of # of rounds.

If someone says "Oh, Shoot!" you reach for your CCW piece.

If you know the serial numbers of all of your guns.

If you sell your only car for ammo money.

If you think that a friends collection of 50 guns is "small".

If you buy 20K rounds of a caliber that you don't have and then go out and buy 4 guns in that caliber the next week.
 
you are going to write on an envelope " AK 47 Fund " and start squrreling-away $10 a week so that at the end of the year you'll have $520 dollars to buy that gorgeous Inter Ordanance AK 47 that you can't afford to buy now because in just one month's time you already bought a Sig Pro 2022 .40 cal pistol,and a Mitchell's Yugo M48 Collectors Mauser !!!! :uhoh:
Oh man, I'm sorry. I don't know how to put it to you. :(
 
When you tell your wife about this thread and she says we are not naming our kids after guns... to which you respond that If you can't you would like to consider Sam. She says yes and then you tell her about the famous Sam you are talking about.
