Yes.I have a few things that irk me or push my buttons;
1) Gun owners or CCW holders who name their carry guns or use them in a personal sense.
Do you name your car?
maybeDo you name your garden rake?
um.... No?Do you name your flat screen TV?
I've named several of my guns, but more to keep them straight than anything else. One of my Finn-captured Mosin's is named Sebelius. The other one isn't named. One of my VZ-24s is Hedjuk (Milan Hedjuk), the other is Smetena. My Russian M44 is Musorgski and the M38 is Tchaikovsky. One of my Hungarian M44s is Brahms (Hungarian dances). The other Hun M44 is Hrabosky (The mad Hungarian). There are more than that, but I think I've made my point. (No, the point isn't that I'm really weird. That was a given.) When we're packing up to go shooting I can tell my boys the names of the guns I want and they'll pack them up.
We've actually turned it into a bit of a game in our family where I'll tell one of my kids what the name of a gun is, but won't spell it for them and they try to find the connections. Most are composer/music related, but some are hockey or baseball references.
