You tell Elmer Keith your latest idea for a wildcat and he says, "You're crazy!"
You think a revolver in .460 Weatherby Magnum, "Sounds like fun."
You make $30 an hour at your job and you spend 30 minutes at the range making sure you got all the 9MM brass you shot.
You pick up empty Wolf cases because, "Hey, it's Boxer primed."
You think a .585 Nyati is, "adequate."
And the beat goes on ...

Your idea of a Christmas movie is "Die Hard".
You notice an officer at the next table in the cafeteria is carrying a SIG and you compliment his choice of weapon.
During the July 4th parade, as the Marine Color Guard passes by, you wonder how they chromed the bolts on their '03 Springfields and whether you can get that done at your local custom car shop.

You know you are a gun nut when everybody who knows you knows the only place I go on my day off is the range, gunshops or gunshows. I knew I was getting bad when I only buy ammo by the case. Last show I went to I walked out with 2 cases of Portugese 308 and 2 cases of 9MM.
I really knew I was an "official" gun nut when my dealer called me that one day by accident.
PS all my family and friends call me Bert after the character in Tremors.

Here's a list of gun nut jokes I've been assembling over the years.
--------
If your gun collection is valued at more than your 401K retirement plan, you just might be a gun nut.
If you know that the "unique" custom-type bedding block system on the new SIG-Sauer SHR 970 synthetic sport rifle was used by R. Reger of Konigsberg Germany in 1937, and by A. Francotte of Liege Belgium in the early 1930's, you just might be a gun nut. {Named Fredd!}
If you cancel travel plans to go and visit your oldest and closest friends because you just found out there is a gun show that weekend, you just might be a gun nut.
If you ever went grocery shopping with your last 20 dollars till payday and bought 3 gun magazines and some coffee, forgoing the bread, milk and eggs your wife told you to get, you just might be a gun nut.
If the people on SIG-L know more about you than all 9 of your sisters, you just might be a gun nut.
If seeing Bill Clinton's picture automatically sends you into Condition Red, you just might be a gun nut. (Or possibly just someone who doesn't like lecherous, dirty old men and liars!)
If the last truly sensitive, intimate and emotionally open conversation you had with your wife, was on the merits of the 7mm STW cartridge, you just might be a gun nut.
If you think HCI stands for "Hi Caps Installed" or is a new type of "High Concussion Incendiary" ammo, you just might be a gun nut.
If you go to three different gun shows within a month and your excited every single time, you just might be a gun nut.
If you watch La Femme Nikita just to see the weapons, especially the suppressed H&K MP5s, you just might be a gun nut.
If your wife and you argue over who gets to carry the SIG 225 during the summer months, you just might be a gun nut.
you have Colt tattooed on one hand's fingers and 1911 tattooed on the other hand.
ammo importers call you asking if there is anything you are looking for.
you call tell the caliber of a cartridge case just by its sound hitting the floor.
your kids know all the fast food places with in 5 miles of all the local gun shops and ranges.
you named your twins Win and Chester.
when someone mentions a Remington bronze, you ask when they made cannons and it's bore size.
you know the formula of Ed's Red by heart.
you have a pepper popper at the end of your drive.
your doorbell plays a burst of machinegun fire.
your home owners insurance would be cancelled if the underwriter knew just how much ammo/gun powder/primers you have stored.
your gun safe cost more than your newest car.
if you sold your gun stuff, you could buy the top of the line Rolls Royce for cash and get your change in Land Rovers.
the FBI's crime lab calls you for advise.
when asked, on your wedding day, if it was the happiest day of your life you say, "No, that was when I shot Distinguished."
you go on a month's tour of Europe and American ammo companies have to have lay offs.
your car never gets inside the 2 car garage due to the buckets of wheel weights and lead ingots stored there.

You're a gun nut, or just plain nuts, if you turn down job offers in states which do not allow your guns in that state.

You know you're a gun nut if you number your carry handgun's magazines and rotate them in and out of service based on age...like mags 1, 2, and 3 are your oldest...so when you buy mag 4, mag 1 gets to "rest" unloaded...when mag 5 comes along, mag 2 gets to take a break out of circulation...a sixth mag means mag 3 goes out of service...then 1 comes back in and 4 takes a break...maybe a month or two "off-duty" for each one...
...not that I have any idea what I'm talking about or have ever done anything like that...ahem...
...and maybe you even make sure every time you load up for carry that a "fresh" round is going in the chamber, being sure to not just re-chamber the same round day after day...
...again, that's just purely hypothetical...

You open your own gun shop, so you can get deals on everything...
Your shooting buddies all work there so they can get deals too..

If you got yelled at by the Bride at the wedding for opening your tux for the photog to white balance the camera and your shoulder holster and PPKS flashed the front row

You can't remember the name of people from the gun match, but you remember the make of pistol and holster they carry at the match!

Actualy, my uncle and I have a .22 pistol that we have traded back and forth so many times, that neither of us can say for sure who owns it!!

hops,
Sounds eminently sensible to me.
Would you move someplace that required you to, say, sell every green article of clothing you owned? You wouldn't move to someplace that had such silly nonsensical laws? Well, I wouldn't move anyplace that told me "You gotta sell your black guns, but your brown ones are okay." Odds are pretty good that if they have a law that dumb on guns, they'll have a few dozen (or few hundred) more dumb ones, and a crazy income tax, too.

You might be a Beretta nut if you memorize Ernest Langdon's phone number.
You might be an HK nut if you memorize HK's phone number (703) 450-1900, and then the touchtone sequence to get you to customer service so you can ask when the heck they're selling the P2000. "In a few weeks."
