You Know You're A Gun Nut If...

[FPrice]

Got this in the mail in an American Handgunner subscription advertisement (I already subscribe, thank you)...

You Know You're A Gun Nut If...

-You see footage of the war in Afghanistan and wish you were there to pick up brass.

-You understand S&W model numbers.

-You can't recall how many firearms you own.

-You and your new father-in-law go to a gun show on your wedding day.

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

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

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

-You have to run to the range this weekend to shoot because you need some brass to reload.

-You buy a gun at a local gunshop and discover you used to own it.

-You're still reading this list!

 

[DeltaElite]

Guilty as charged.

 

[Gary H]

"Not now honey.. I'm reloading"

 

[Bob Locke]

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

Not a chance.

I don't know who that raven-haired beauty is on the most recent cover, but she's one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.

I can buy the rest of the list, though!

...this is your third (or more) visit to THR today, and it's only 6PM....

 

[bedlamite]

You've been on THR so long that you think it's only 6:00pm, but your post clearly says 7:54pm.

 

[Yohan]

-Your friends stop asking you to goto any movie involving any trace of gun ("Oh- that looks like a Colt M1991A1 .45! Ooh ooh! there's a Garand!")
-You get stressed out everytime you goto Wal Mart because of their small firearm selection

 

[Mike Irwin]

Oh crap...

I'm a gun nut...

 

[Kermit]

Where I get that Hogue grip for my parking brake handle?

 

[Kalindras]

You know you're a gun nut when:

Your friend the Hog-Rider stops by on his way to the rally, and offers you some chain grease to keep your hair down, and you say, "No thanks, Bro...got some Cosmoline!"

zzzzzzzzz--*Snrk!!* "Huh?!? Mah hair!!"

[Standing Wolf]

You've got dies for cartridges you don't have guns for.

 

[Schuey2002]

You know your a gun nut when,

Your friends and family call you by your internet user name instead of your real one.

Right, Skunk!

 

[45-auto]

OK, I'll play:

You're a gun nut if:

Both you and your best man were packin' a concealed weapon at your last wedding. (Add extra points to the score if the minister was packin'. Add even more points if the bride was packin'.)

Sounds like that Mike Irwin fella'.

 

[cordex]

To a google search for "You might be a gun nut if" and you get some longer versions.

Looks like some were contributed to this particular list by some TFL/THRers ...

 

[agony]

You call in sick from work to clean brass and reload.

 

[griz]

You pay six dollars to go to the gun show so you can save a buck and a half on ammo.

 

[Kenneth Lew]

You drive 200 miles to pickup a gun you purchased from someone on the internet sight unseen.

[Mike Irwin]

How about there are handguns in your kitchen "tools" drawer?

You pull change out of your pocket and brass and/or loaded rounds come with the coins?

You refuse an invitation to dinner because you have to clean your guns?

All you want for Christmas goes BANG!

 

[Hardtarget]

You know you're a gun nut if ...

...you go to the gun show and everybody knows your name.
...your kids KNOW they'll get ammo for Christmas.
...your wife doesn't even ask where you were on "range night"
...you know all the ranges for 50 miles and their operation schedule.
...you have ten friends who know they can call on short notice and get a shooting partner tonight.
You didn't even know all this stuff about yourself...but its true.
Mark.

 

[coonan357]

if you and your future wife (now Ex fiance ) spend quality time with her and her son at the gun show on saturday .. your unemployed and sell your brass for a gun that you don't own to help pay the bills ( I knew they would come in handy !! ) the knob on your tumbler is a old 8 mm lebel case

 

[BerettaNut92]

...if you calculate how much you saved by its worth in ammunition.

Ralph's guy. "You saved 4.15"
Me: "Sweet, that's like...40 rounds of 9mm!!!"

 

[Jim March]

Sigh.

I win.

When your local newspaper publishes an item titled "Sheriff says 'gun nut' concealing the truth - Being in the Posse doesn't guarantee weapons permit" and it's ABOUT YOU, you're officially a gun nut.

:banghead:

Yes, this really happened. To me.
