You know you are a GUN NUT if...

[CB900F]

Fella's;

When you can recite, verbatim, load manuals off the top of your head in telephone conversation.

Any time you do any yardwork at all, the neighbor accuses you of "burying guns".

Any time you buy rural property so you can bury your guns in peace.

900F

 

[rogertc1]

For the last 3 years you average buying at least 3 guns a month. Just Keep on finding more when you thought you had them all.

 

[blaisenguns]

When "one gun a month is" for your budget and not legal reasons.

 

[InkEd]

You Seriously consider moving because of gun laws. These doesn't count if you live in Illinois or California.

 

[LeonCarr]

You know you are a GUN NUT if you have every gun shop and pawn shop within a 100 mile radius on speed dial.

You also know you are a GUN NUT if every gun shop and pawn shop within a 100 mile radius has YOU on speed dial .

Great thread!
When you tell your brother you met a new friend and assumes he's a lefthanded rifle shooter.
Your friends try to set you up on a blind date and tell you she has her CC but not what she looks like!
Cabela's gub library calls you when they get in lefthand rifle's.

 

[blaisenguns]

When someone asks you what your dream/favorite gun is and you cant pick just one.

 

[Blowingsky]

When Massad Ayoob sends you the first draft of his articles for approval.

When Jesse Ventura fires off his mini gun into the jungle in the movie PREDATOR and you say, "Why'd he run out? There should have been 7 rounds left!"

When you actually have counted all the "phased plasma rifles in the 40 watt range" in the Terminator series of movies plus in the movie Aliens.

 

[Blowingsky]

When you can sit on the sofa watching The Wild Bunch and have with you at least 6 of the firearms shown in the movie.

 

[powergunner]

If you tell the cop that pulled you over, he can get a much better Blackhawk holster for his Glock than the Galco one he has.

 

[blaisenguns]

When you stand up and yell when someone in a movie throws a gun.

 

[stuckinsocal]

When you write all you're college papers on guns just to piss off the professors.
When you have sets of the same model of gun....3 sks carbines, 2 Marlin .22's, 2 NEF 20 guage shotguns.
When you automatically count the number of shots fired in movies. And count the shots in real shootings (several around my neighborhood), can tell the cops exactly how many were fired, and have competitions with family to figure out who's correct.

 

[stuckinsocal]

And if you wonder what kind of gun the cops are carrying every time you see them....before you wonder why they're there in the first place

 

[sigman]

While you're watching the movie " Heat "....

you sit there and drool and wish that you had every pistol and rifle that they use and shoot.When the " Bank Hold-Up Scene " is better than porno to you and you rewind it and watch it again and again in slow motion !!

 

[Darkninja]

Damn. You caught me.

When the cops give you weird looks because you're intently staring at their holster and gun.

You use Hoppes #9 as airfreshener.

[captlid]

SWAT shows up to your house to get equipped for their next raid.

On your daily commute to and from work you eyeball people's waistlines to see who you can out concealing a gun.

M60 links is your idea of jewelry.

 

[InkEd]

Guilty of trying to spit other ccw people. I don't think awareness is a bad thing.

 

[jbkebert]

When your idea of a nice tool box is a .30 cal ammo can. They make great field boxes for chain saw, chains, files, ect

 

[Dimis]

if you really do hope the zombies will show up

if you justify to your significant other your new gun purchase by saying "i dont have one in this caliber yet thats why"

if you have more invested in reloading and firearms than you do in that ratty old truck thats on its last legs in the driveway (yes including the payoff price)

if your mouse pointer is mildot

if you know who massad ayoob dick metcalf larry vickers or jeff cooper are

if you know who ted nugent is but didnt know he was a musician

if you set up your DVR to catch anything with the word "sniper" in it

if youd be honored if R. Lee Ermy asked you what your major malfunction is

if you try to tell co-workers stories about your heroes and they have no idea who jelly brice or carlos hathcock are

when you try to explain to said co-worker they just responde with "oh its a gun guy again"

if youve cleaned your guns more than your home

if your favorite times of day are 2:23 3:08 3:38 3:57 4:08 5:56 etc...

if you have a file on your computer thats a comprehensive list of firearms you have interest in

same with your inventory

if you have ever inventoried your ammo not just by counts per caliber but also each type for each caliber

if you have ever thought of buying reloading dies for a caliber you dont own...yet

if you already have components to make those rounds

if you just said heck with it and made 1000 rounds already just to get ready

if you have argued with your significant other about pets being named things like ruger or colt

if you had the same argument over childrens names

and lastly....

if youve ever strapped as many guns to yourself as you can just to get that mad max feeling

you just might be a gun nut

 

[Samilitant]

Your best friends are ALWAYS armed. Now that's a friend you can count on.

 

[blackops]

When you know a hot brunette has interest in you, your buddy comes down to your side of the bar to talk guns, and the next morning you can't even remember what the woman looked like.

 

[shotgunjoel]

You get a crush on a gun you want to buy, and then proceed to day dream about it all of the time.

if you have a file on your computer thats a comprehensive list of firearms you have interest in

When the only reason you would enter a Walmart is the ammo.

You cringe when, in a movie, people thrown down their weapons on the ground and you hear that metal on concrete sound

You guys have been watching me haven't you?

When you can remember the powder, charge weight, primer, case, and C.O.L. for a dozen of your favorite reloads but you need a list for more than 3 items at the supermarket.

It's all about priorities.

When you write all you're college papers on guns just to piss off the professors.

I seriously considered this when one of the essay options was "why is diversity important" and I wanted to write about different gauges and actions of shotguns for hunting different animals in different situations.

Now, my own; You see caliber numbers all over the place, like in license plates and room numbers.
