You know you are a GUN NUT if...

Your favorites list on your computer has more gun related websights than all other websights combined.

you make sure to give all your hand guns a little ccw time around town from time to time so one does not get jealous of the others.

You use a pair of worn out AR15 mags to protect tables from hot cookware.

you save your cans and plastic bottles for targets rather than the 5 cent deposit.

you drink squirt because the yellow cans are easy to see at the range

your local bowling alley saves their worn out pins for you

your wife has to remind you not to leave your gun in the laundry

you have your own coffee mug at the local gun shop

you have ear plugs in the pocket of all of your jackets

your carpentry tool belt has a galco holster on it

you bought the above tool belt because you had to double up the floor joists of your house to support the weight of your gun collection

while fly fishing, you stand there and ponder "what caliber for rainbow trout"

You drop a 9mm round down the back of the couch, spend 5 minutes with your hand jammed down there unable to find it.

Eventually my hand does find an errant 7.62x39 though and eventually the 9mm LOL

When you have a left handed IWB holster for church.
When you can honestly tell the gun shop owner that you have more of a caliber at home than he has in the store.
You've bought ammo for a gun you haven't bought yet, and the wife doesn't notice.
When you offer to take your boss shooting in the hopes that he'll lighten up on you carrying at work.


guilty on all counts

(Not sure if this one was mentioned yet). You go to a picture thread of your favorite gun and carefully look at every single picture even though every single one of them is the same exact Glock.

When you see the price of gas is $2.32 & you say Mom's carry gun.

You go to get change from your pocket and find cartridges instead.

Twice last week, I'm afraid. At least it wasn't at the bank.

If your fiancee brushes against your IWB when you get out of the car because she likes the reassurance of knowing its there.

"You cared more about buying your first handgun on your 21st than you did about being able to legally drink. "
make that 20 for me and I'm guilty as charged.

when looking at someone, you can't help yourself but think "she is definitely a S&W type"

I literally loled on that one!

You collect brass at the range... for calibers of guns you don't own yet... to reload... on the reloading set you don't own yet.


Transcript from GOA (Gun Owners Anonymous) meeting, date unknown:

Hi everybody, my name's Pave, and I'm a gun nut. It all started off so innocently, in the meadow behind my parents house, with my Dads' (formerly my Grandfathers) Remington .22. I see now that it was merely the gateway gun, leading to a slow but inexorable decline to the harder stuff: .223, .270, .308, .30-06, .416.... Then I got turned on to pistols. More .22, .38 Special, .45 Acp, .44 Special and Magnum. It always started small, then the addiction dragged me into the clutches of more and more potent substances. I... I... (sob)... I even got into... to... oh gawd... shotguns. The power was so overwhelming. The rush... Shudder.

But the crisis came when I started with that evil, devil's playground of black powder. The measuring, the patches, the bullet molds.... The intervention came later, after I tried to set up a target match with historical characters. I didn't know I was that close to breakdown. As they dragged me to the rehab house, I was muttering something about the ballistics data for the Constitution. I was gone, man, gone.

glad you like it, but a lot of these things here aply to me

Another one: "you have gun oil in your bag any time you leave the house, just because "that stuff is good for everything!"

I always have a can of Balistol with me (even when going to school on bicycle ) man, that stuff is good for literally anything, whether its rusty bike chains, frozen car locks, or disinfecting wounds.

and to quote my wife...

you might be a gun nut if your gun safe cost more than your car....

or

your wife claims a holster because her pink handle ultra-light looks better in it than than your 2" 357....

You might be a gun nut if...

You seriously considered having a full page stamp made to fill out a 4473 form in one shot.

If you know more about guns than the guy behind the gun counter and find yourself correcting his inaccuracies almost every time you visit.

Yep. And it drives me crazy that he gets paid for it as well.

The first time I heard Cheryl Crows song 'Soak up the sun' specifically the last line where she sings " I got my 45 on, so I can rock on" and the only thing I thought she was talking about was a 1911.

She wasn't?

Hello friends and neighbors // If your guns cost more than your car!!!

You'd better hush .. if my girl friend sees that one I'm doomed.

You might be a gun nut when you figure your credit card limit by how many round you can buy this month

You read this, and the reply below, and you still have to think for 30-40 seconds as to what it could be OTHER than a gun.

If you stop in to the local gun shop to check out some little things right before you head out on a 4 hour drive, and end up leaving several hours later, having bought several different types of ammo because you "have to see what it does!"
