You know you live, breathe and sleep guns when. . .

[SoCalShooter]

you have named all your guns

you have rationalized the you tube debate guy who showed off his "BABY" and you have explained to yourself while cleaning your "babies" why they are babies (yes I know I may have gone off the deep end)

your having midwayusa withdrawels

your friends tell you you DO have money to go out, if you just dipped into your munitions budget. and you get upset.

your friends learn they should NEVER advise you to dip into the munitions budget.

Yeah I have that conversation everyday.

when you think about buying lunch and remember that the 5 bucks you are going to spend is 5 bucks worth of ammo or a new gun so you decide to just starve until you get home

You maintain the 4 rules with anything that has a trigger and fires a liquid or projectile

you realize you have only 5500 rounds of .22LR but realize that you need the MATCH ammo so you purchase another 5000 and split it with a buddy.

When you rationalize digging bottles and cans out of trash cans around your cubicle and you have convinced everyone you work with to give you their bottles and can and you explain that it is ammo money. (this works I make about 30 bucks a week extra doing this)

You have 50 - 20 round mil spec Mags for an m1a and you don even like M1s or own one.

I have two ammo cans full of'em

...you arm up with your primary carry gun and a BUG to go take a pee in your own bathroom at 2 am.

 

[MrFabulous]

-when you have bullets for guns you don't have.

True, True!!

...when you "clear" your house more often than you clean it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

. . . you realize that you just asked the poor dunkin donuts lady for the "50-round box of munchkins."

Not a joke, I actually did this on Saturday.

The real question is, how did she respond
?

...when you "clear" your house more often than you clean it.

forgot that one...

or when you have wondered if there is a way for you to CCW when you are in your tactical boxers.

 

[Wild Deuce]

I'm currently injured and someone at the store asked me the other day what happened to me. My wife swears that I said, "I tore a cartridge in my knee." I suppose that's why I got the funny look.

Yep, I carry to the bathroom at 3am ... and it's not even down the hall. It's part of the master bedroom.

...you arm up with your primary carry gun and a BUG to go take a pee in your own bathroom at 2 am.

Hmmm .... a BUG? never thought of that ... I'm getting complacent.

I need info on where to get the pink .22. My 3-year old has been asking for a "pink gun." The BB gun has sufficed so far for my 5-year old.

I showed my 5 year old duaghter the pics XD FAN posted of his daughter shooting the pink gun. She is now curious.
That did help to show her other girls her age shoot too. My mother-inlaw has
her thinking she is a princes and guns are for boys.

My daughter is left handed and they dont make lefty kids fishing poles, So
last weekend I bought an ultra-light with the crank on the left. I taped it off
and shot it with glow in the dark Hot Pink Paint. Topped it off with Barbie
stickers and she is happy.

You believe that stainless steel guns (along with nickel/chrome plated guns) were soley produced to give you the option of stashing a gun near/in the shower just in case Norman Bates attacks you.

You also justify buying a new gun with the rationale that if you didn't need one, why would they make it?

[armedandsafe]

That is only HALF right. I don't split ammo. Not even with FirstInLine. (Well, maybe a little bit, with her. )

We went dutch on the ammo. its .22LR match ammo and 2500 rounds will get me through the rest of the year.

-MrFabulous

I supose I don't realy walk into rooms, but clear them instead.

 

[Omaney]

I ran across a recoil spring for a pistol I sold many moons ago...HHMMMMM There's always ammo rolling around in the junk drawer, truck tool box, workbench, mattress...

 

[Geronimo45]

When you have more empty brass than loose change at your house.

You have seriously pondered this question: Should you buy a holster you like, and a gun to match - or a gun you like, and a holster to match?

 

[MachIVshooter]

When you think a surplus duce and a half would make the perfect range truck

When you actually bought one, drove a motorcycle 1,500 miles to get it and drove the truck 1,500 miles back and immediately after arriving home, fabricated a bed mount for the M1919 you are picking up the following day.

darn nice truck there. gun too.

 

[SoCalShooter]

DUDE!!! That is sooo awesome how much did you get that for!!

 

[DoubleTapDrew]

you arm up with your primary carry gun and a BUG to go take a pee in your own bathroom at 2 am

Or you get up in the night to get a glass of water and when you head towards the bedroom door your girlfriend asks "Aren't you going to take a gun?" (and is serious)

 

[AlaskaErik]

I was really being facetious about arming up to go to the bathroom. I didn't know people did that! Our master bedroom is on the second story, so I figure there's plenty of time to retrieve my pistol from the nightstand drawer. Anyone trying to break into my house will make some noise, which Holly the chocolate lab will hear and start barking at.

 

[turtlehitman]

-you get lost in thought comparing the ballistics of a .40 vs. 9mm(happened to me this morning)

gunmn,

Tell her that my little girl loves barbies and almost never wears anything that isn't a skirt. She is all girlie-girl. Hence the PINK gun. It will not surprise me if I do not have to attache rhinestones to it at some point.

 

[jojosdad]

You get a smokin deal on 1000 LWCHB and buy a Model 10 to go with them.

 

[RoadkingLarry]

You think "GI Ammo Cans" are perfect storage boxes for EVERYTHING!

I've always thought they were, Only got 6 empties left gotta stock up on some more....

How about being on a first name basis with Larry Potterfield (owner - Midway USA) and you've never met him face to face. I wonder if he would adopt me I could be Jr and nothave to change my first name...

 

[ptmmatssc]

... your wife tries to take a picture with your camera and the memory stick is full , of gun pics . Hey it only holds 1500 !

...Remoil is the first thing you grab for that squeaky door hinge.

...you move family photos in order to make a display of all the different cartridges you have (whether or not you still own the guns) .

...when detailing your car/truck the guy doing it fills a plastic grocery bag with spent brass from all the nooks and crannies .

...you don't carry a gun to the john , because you keep one in there anyways "just in case" .

... when looking at houses to buy , the first thing you do is decide where the safes and workbench are going .

...you buy the house that's in worst shape because it has the perfect property to put a personal range in .


Yes , I am familiar with all these , and my wife will be more than willing to tell you about it , lol . Lord knows , she tells ME all the time .

 

[DMK]

when you go to buy a car, and your first concern is "will my guns fit?"

When you replace a perfectly good vehicle with another and the only thing wrong with the 1st one was your guns wouldn't fit.
