...When you try to teach your cats to man your shotgun as if it were a piece of field artillery.
...When you have a bad night's sleep, you get up, and you realize you were sleeping on loose rounds of ammunition.
...You play with your guns before bedtime.
...When those you live with refer to your bedroom as "The Armory".
...When you have a bandoleer of shotgun shells hanging on your wall, and you collect empty boxes of ammunition like most people collect nicknacks.
...When you try to talk friends, family, and neighbors into buying guns, and you don't work at a gun store.

My office is the armory. My wife knows in my absense she has enough firepower to get her to the armory then from there she is in the green.
 
This is a new one for me when you buy ammo for a gun you don't even have just so you have an excuse to buy a new one.

I actually did that when I was on the fence about getting a P32 Kel-Tec. I bought a couple of boxes of .32ACP ammo so that I knew if I bought the gun, I'd be ready to go right to the range with it. I did, and I did.

If you've ever been in a gun/sporting goods store and helped someone find something or pick something out, and you didn't work there.

Done this, too, once at GM, and at least once at a gun show. Made sales of which I got no cut.

Also, the other day, I hosed out the bed of my pickup truck after a few trips of hauling away loads of excavated fill. I've had this truck for almost 25 years, and back in the eighties, I used it to get to remote areas to shoot. As I hosed out the dirt/mud/crud, I was amazed at the number of spent cases that I found back there, cases that have laid there for over two decades..

instead of reading in the bathroom you take apart your gun to inspect its cleanliness and servicablility...

I'd openly admit to engaging in all the other pathologically firearms-philic behavion in this thread, but I am so glad that someone else said this one first!!!! I do that too.

G-d I'm sick.
 
when you'd rather spend the money shooting your own or renting a gun on a weekly basis instead of taking her out for dinner on a weekly basis and you don't care of the consequences.:neener:

when you and the UPS man are on a first name basis and he gives you a very heavy box and a knowingly smile.;)

when family members,who also own guns,come to you for gun advice.:)

when you get invited to discuss or even argue about guns with someone you don't even know.:uhoh:

when the first thought when you wake up is about some gun technique or project.:scrutiny:

when you go to bed and the last conscious thought was about some gun technique or project.:cool:

when you know what the markings on a maadi ak sight base are and what they mean and yet you don't speak arabic.:eek:
 
You've heard "man, then the zombies attack, I'm coming to your place" on more than one occasion.

Sure, come on over. Doesn't mean you're getting through the front door.
 
-When your fantasy football fee is waived because you just bought another 30-06 and couldn't afford it without taking a loan.
-When the gf's hands are too small for your pistols and you buy the ones you want, telling her you thought they'd fit.
-When you are invited to the sporting clay range and ask if it's a 12ga or 20 ga. pump or auto party.
-When the gun safe is full and tell her to clear out her stuff from under the bed.
-When she uses a Mosin bayonet laying around to see if the banana bread is done.
-When your friends loan your loaners because they know you have more.
-When you carry an extra scope in the ammo box just in case.
-When you don't have to make this stuff up to reply on page three of this thread.
 
When asked the question "when the zombie outbreak comes, what weapon would you use?" Friends/family/random onlookers will point at you and say "whatever he picked"

If you've bought holsters molded for guns you don't yet own to "speed the process"
 
....buy a single action , because i made a drop leg holster....

....bought a mpa protector, to expand my holster line...


....all most have as many guns, as the wife has shoes...
 
Way too many of these are true!

#59 beat me to the zombie one! EVERYONE tells me this!

.. My dog is less afraid of my shotgun than my neighbors

.. The night stand has condoms, .38, 9mm, 300rds and a book (I think).

.. You've ever had to stay outside the school zone to watch your kids play.

.. You carry a gun worth more than the truck you drive to work.

My girl pointed out that I'll change my gun if I change my coat in the same way she changes her shoes if she changes (any item).
