You know you are addicted to guns when?

[XxWINxX94]

When your bored, you go on gunbroker to keep yourself "occupied."

When your house catches on fire and you tell the firemen to run because of all the "stuff" you have.

When you hear the word "gun" or "firearm," you jump and have to find out who said it.

When your alone and bored in your house, you stratigically think where you could conceal a gun that would help you in an HD situation.

If a gun is not cleaned, it goes on the top of the "to-do list."

You think about, and feel bad for, people who refuse to own guns, and how much harm could come to them.

When you post on this forum.

You see/hear an "anti-gunner," and just shake your head and roll your eyes at they're stupidity.

You browse your TV guide for anything that has "gun" in it.

You go "exploring" on gunbroker.

If you know people who own guns, you always wonder what ones they have, and why.

If you walk into a chain restaurant or store and the first thing you think is: "I wonder if this company is anti-gun", and you squint in suspicion.

You move to a different state if their gun laws are better.

When you transfer money out of your IRA to buy another old Colt or Winchester because they might be a better investment. Done it a couple tmes.

Wish I'd done more of that about 3 years ago and sold last year!

You know you are addicted when you can't even remember how many guns you have, even after thinking about it.

When you're driving and the license plate on the car in front of you begins JMB and you think "AHA! Another gun lover!" and then you realize, no, that's just the standard plate with random letters that just accidentally spell something meaningful

JMB what is this?

When you name your dog Ruger

When you buy a holster for a gun you don't have (yet)

If you've ever pawned some firearms to get the money to get another firearm, you might be a gun nut.

"when your wife doesn't know how many weapons you have "

My wife doesn't. It's not that I am hiding any, but one gun looks just like the others to her. My revolvers all look the same to her, the 4 inch rossi, the 4 inch rougher rider, and the 4 inch ruger. One is a nice blued with a pacymer grip, one is very crappy bluing with cocobolo grips, and one is nice bluing with synthetic grips (white I think). They look nothing alike, but she always forgets the rough rider... probably because it doesn't get out to play much besides doing snake duty. My rifles all look the same... the sks, garand, mossberg 44, and springfield 840. She remembers that I have a gun in .xxx caliber when I mention it, but she doesn't have a clue as to what is in the house. I'm not sure she has ever seen them all at once. She wouldn't remember them all if she did.. and I don't have a lot. She was really shocked when I tallied up the replacement costs and was able to say 5k give or take to the insurance lady. Her jaw dropped and I had to explain that the a garand isn't going for less than 750 in the area.

When you buy ammo in a caliber you don't own so you can get a gun to match it.

When you get permission to name your kid Sam.

....when you use gun powder to season your food.

 

[jonmerritt]

When you and your wife are making a date with the waitress to go to the target range together. (we really did)
When you and your wife drool on the same glass case at the gun store, and always leave with a hers and his set of anything, including ammo.

 

[Ky Larry]

When you can remember load data for a half dozen rounds in each of your favorite calibers but need a written list for more than 3 items at the supermarket. (This is so true.)

 

[kragluver]

When you name your dog Ruger

He-he. While our Lab is named Addie, the cats are Winchester and Remington. The wife wanted to name them Smith & Wesson but I told her I didn't own a S&W!

 

[coyote]

when you find yourself making up new categories to justify each new gun.

ie: you already have a-

"deer rifle"
"trail handgun"
"truck gun"
"defense pistol"
"back-up defense pistol"
"deep-carry auto"
"deep carry revolver"
"long-range pistol"
"trainer for friends"
"loaner for friends"
"a complete cowboy action shooting outfit"
"squirrel rifle"
"squirrel handgun"
etc...

and find yourself trying to justify the need for a "going fishing" handgun.

When you watch movies on TV and can identify all the guns used in each movie.
