When you get the wrong ammo by mistake, you don't return it, but instead buy a gun to shoot it with.

You own a 1911 in at least 10 different calibers.

You know what a mutant ninja zombie bear is and the best gun/caliber to use on one.
 
I'd like to see the list of calibers on that one, Mike.

Sure .22lr, 9mm, 9x23, .357SIG, .40S&W, 10mm, .45ACP, .45Super, .460Rowland, .451 Detonics, and if you stretch the definition of a 1911 slightly you can add .357Mag and .380ACP. I'm pretty sure I've forgotten a few too.

And to keep it on topic.

You have PAIR of .500S&W 8.5" Revolvers, because the price was just too good to turn down the second one and you just never know when you might need a brace of them.
 
You always check the directory at the outlet shopping center looking for a Remington or Winchester store.
 
You buy your child's first gun.....BEFORE they are born.

...and their second one after they are born because the first may be a collectible one day.

When you move, the gun store you used to frequent goes out of business.
I was accused of this once. In the late eighties I was transferred to a different division of my company in a different town. My buddies called me about a month after I left to tell me the gun store in town closed. They blamed it on my leaving. :D

You burnt up the motor on your WaterPik trying to run FP-10 through it.
Now, that's a good one, sounds like someone learned that the hard way :D

You understand S&W model numbers
I did until they started making them out of materials I had never heard of before. Now I'm statisfied to buy old ones with the firing pin where it is supposed to be. :neener:
 
You keep a gun in every room of the house, even the bathroom and kitchen, just in case. Then you keep a gun on you at all times, in case they catch you in a hallway.
 
You rip open the new GUNS magazine before even picking up the new PLAYBOY that just arrived.

You send a nasty letter to Playboy and cancel your subscription (and I've got 'em goin' back to the mid eighties...) because of their ever-increasing political weirdness. I remember seeing pro-RKBA stuff way back when...
 
You see footage of the war and wish you were there to pick up brass.

The sheer waste of such an amount of Lake City brass almost brings a tear to my eye.

You put a Hogue grip on your car's parking brake handle.

Not a bad idea!

You identify the gun on the cover on the new Dillon catalog before you notice the girl.

I always check to see if she’s carrying in a hidden chest holster.

Before you leave the range, you squat down, and pick through the excess brass bucket so as to have enough brass to reload. And that doesn't count the brass that you used yourself.

You me to say that there a some people who don't do that?

Friends no long invite you to the movies because you point out every little violation of the gun safety rule and identify all the weapons.

Does having your wife get pissed off about the same thing count? How about when your wife says, as soon as someone pulls out a gun, “Just shut up and let me watch the movie.â€

You can't clean all your guns in one day.

That’s for sure, esp. since the wife usually has 6,000 other “more important†things for me to do…sheesh, if the kids don’t learn to wipe their own butts now (ages 3 and 6 months), when will they?

You hit the roof every time you watch the news.

Who doesn’t? Those lazy leftist morons couldn’t get the weather right if they were standing outside, so getting anything about guns right is impossible.

You are a one issue voter, and it ain't abortion.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

You get irritated that you can't buy ammo at the grocery store.

Of course. Esp. since it would save a bunch on gas money, which I could use to buy more ammo.

When looking at new homes, you see if it has enough room for your safes.

You can't get a full sized car in one side of the garage because of your reloading bench.


Same issue – room enough for your stuff. The wife just shook her head when I said no to certain houses for that reason, so I took to just saying that I didn’t like others.

You aren't surprised when you see your doctor, your lawyer, and your preacher at the range.

I haven’t seen my doc yet, but lots of lawyers and my rabbi.

When people ask you what you use your guns for, you have to ask, "which one?"

Which sometimes elicits :what:

The thought that the "Beltway Sniper" was an idiot for using a .223 went through your mind, and it irritated you that they used the term "Sniper" since the longest shot he took was from 100 yards.

It sent you through the roof when a relative of one of the "Beltway Sniper" victims referred to the Bushmaster as a "Weapon of Mass Destruction" in an interview.


Yes and yes. I also wonder why a boltie wasn’t used, to avoid leaving cases around; further, why didn’t the schmuck leave a bunch of other people’s brass around to throw off the police? Of course, the first thing that came to mind is "I wish I was there with my 12-gauge when he pulled out his rifle...."

You honestly wonder how stupid people have to be to not understand the RKBA.

Hey, "average" intelligence doesn't just come from people with 3-digit IQs.

Turning 45 "required" you to buy a 1911.

Hey, now there’s an idea (of course, this means my Springfield has to wait for 1 1/2 years to get a buddy of the same species).

You use Breakfree on your door hinges.

Both cars and house doors. And the ironing board. And anything else that squeaks.

The words "molon labe" are not jibberish to you.

Jibberish? Sheesh, they’re my credo.

I guess that I'm a gun nut - and I'm loving every minute of it.

There are girls on those magazine covers...?
:scrutiny:
*edit* Oh yea...
While watching the movie Terminator 2, you have to leave the room in tears and mournful sobs after Arnold Schwartzenneger throws the CAR-16 off the moving tractor trailer and it goes bouncing away.

When you stop in at the local gun shop, they ask you questions like: "How was work?" "How are the wife and kids?" "We're gonna order some food, ya want in?" etc.

You have more gunpowder stashed in your home than your local sporting goods store has on hand.

All of your children are life members of the NRA.

You have guns in your safe that you can't, for the life of you, remember how you came by.

You buy a gun at a shop only to find out you used to own it a couple of years ago.
 
Jim March,

It's a shame I didn't meet you when I lived in Concord and Clayton as a kid and teenager. It took moving away from California for me to really discover the joys of shooting and make a hobby of it.
 
You buy an SKS because you got your C&R, and then had to buy four others because they came from different countries.

When your looking at any milsups in a shop you are saddened if all the numbers don't match.

You check the stock to see if the tool kit is inside.

You refrain from going to gun stores on payday because you will walk out with something.

It doesn't bother you to put something on lay-a-way at a department store but you get sad if you have to put something on lay-a-way at a gun shop.

You drive an older car when you really want a new one but that would deplete your guns and ammo fund.

You think that the government should issue every male between the ages of 18 and 45 a real M-16 (or whatever the current service rifle is at any point in time) and a few hundred rounds of ammo, all of which you are required to keep at home in case the Russians invade, just like in Switzerland.

You are required to go shooting to qualify with your M-16 at least a few times per year, and the government supplies the ammo (match quality, of course), just like in Switzerland.

You think that the government should allow you to keep the aforementioned M-16 at the end of your term of service, or buy it for something like $100, just like in Switzerland.

You think that there's nothing wrong with the concept of walking into the local hardware or department store, ordering a full auto of whatever type you want, and having the only question be "Will that be cash or charge, sir," just like our grandfathers could've done.

You actually think about what would happen if the SHTF. In multiple scenarios, ranging from mere electrical outages to TEOTWAWKI. And you know what those acronyms mean. And you engage in pointless debates about it online with people you don't know. While you are supposed to be working.
 
You know you're a gun nut when . . .

. . . your wife stops going to her mother and instead goes to your FFL dealer to complain about your Gun Porn.

. . . you take your girlfriend to the gun range on your first date.

. . . that particular Colt 1911a1 in your collection won't ever be fired because it was made on the day you were born.

. . . your SHTF and TEOTWAWKI thoughts start with WWJS (what would Jesus shoot).
 
Mike B, you forgot the 1911 in 400 Cor-Bon.

1) You buy guns and then sell/trade them without ever having actually shot them.
2) You buy a pro-RKBA mug because your daughter was Oleg's model in the picture (see below)

hehehe.....

lets see here.....

you hold your self to a diet of ramen noodles and spaghetti-0s so you can save money for ammo/range time

You can't wait to graduate from college so you can buy guns more often (once every 6 months just isnt enough)

you even consider taking out a student loan to purchase a bushmaster (if my dad reads this, that never happened)

you make your dinner plans based upon which restaraunts you can legally cary in

you move into a 3 bedroom apt with 5 other people so your rent goes down in hopes that you will be able to buy the next gun sooner....

you know the CCW requirements of your state and any state you have ever even considered anything from residing in to driving through

for a wedding gift you want to purchas his and hers S&W airweights

your main criteria for purchasing a new suit is how well it will cover a fullsize auto loader
 
You have an extra job for ammo money(I do)
You try to make it to your car in the parking garage by 3:57....just to see the numbers......(I do)

That's funny. I knew that I was born to be a gun nut when I joined the military and found out that we were Flight #357. It donned on me that it was the number of a very popular pistol.

And then we started Basic and there weren't many personal thoughts after that, they kept us too busy :( ( :D ).

You daydream about buying property with a backstop.

My wife and I bought 28 acres with a creek running right down the middle of it. On the east side of the creek is a flat field where our house is being built. On the west side, a forty foot bluff! The pole barn will face west of course with the shooting bench set up inside the north garage door. Life IS grand!
