You know you're a gunny ( the work edition)

[C-grunt]

When you rate the quality of cover office furniture would provide.

When you know what co-workers would make decent back up.

 

[JLStorm]

• Your wife complains that every month your wallpaper is a new picture of your guns, while she has a picture of the two of you on her computer.
• There is a shrine on the wall of pictures of you shooting your guns that you convinced your wife to take even though she hates guns.

 

[proud2deviate]

. . . When you hold the office record in the catagory of "fastest time to detail strip a stapler".

 

[MachIVshooter]

A discussion turns firearm/ammunition related...and you take from your desk drawer seven examples of ammo for comparison

.......along with multiple pieces of steel of different thickness' labeled with an engraver to show which rounds will penetrate what. (though my "desk" is a 6' tall, 5' long MAC toolbox)

When you know what co-workers would make decent back up.

And which of the guns in your car would be delegated to each of them, should the SHTF.

-When you actually know what many of the little oval bumper stickers really mean.

 

[FTF]

...when your hunting dog alerts on liberals.

BHAHWHAHAAHAHAHA

 

[Huddog]

When your code to your office computer is a combination of calibers.

 

[Hoppy590]

haha im guilty of the password thing

 

[biere]

Trigger discipline on the garden hose makes me wonder about my sanity, but I still do it.

Needed a laser pointer, for a split second I wondered about using the lasermax in my glock 20. Then reality kicked in, but for a split second I did consider it.

Needed some decent optics and wound up using the variable power rifle scope, no rifle, I had in the car. My rifle optics are way better than any binoculars I own so when I want clarity the rifle optic does the job.

The coin holder for the pop machine is as likely to have coins as empty brass or even complete rounds in it.

 

[JD_LION]

When multiple gun shops have your number on speed dial (or memorized) for Identification, Serialization, and Gun values!!!

 

[TonyB]

You do a "tactical reload" of your stapler...
Whendeciding where to put your desk..you look for the best "field of view"
You use a 9mm case for a pen cap.And your co-workers don't think it's weird.

 

[Ben Shepherd]

Hardtarget:

Funny you should mention that. Right now in my desk drawer is a 38 S&W, a 38 special, a 357 mag, and a 357 max cartridge. Some of the guys at work wanted to see the difference, so I brought 'em in.

 

[rritter]

Heh - I've got a flat-screen monitor with an elevated base that's a half-circle, open in the middle. Lined up along the inner curve are the following empty cartridge cases:
.22 short
.22 long

.22 magnum
.30 Nagant
.30 Tokarev
.32 ACP
.380 ACP
.38 Special
.357 Magnum
.44 Special
.44 Magnum
.45 ACP
7.62x39
.303 British
7.5x55 Swiss
7.62x51
7.62x54R
8x56R
7.92x57
.30-06

In addition, I have empty cartridge boxes for .303 British, 8x56R, and 7.92x57 cartridges. Some of my co-workers give me funny looks sometimes.

 

[Hoppy590]

Izhevsk .... no
Tula.... no

[Green Lantern]

Tonight it hit me that I had something - *I* maintain trigger discipline on the Symbol inventory unit (think Phaser, circa Star Trek II) and avoid pointing it at bystanders!

 

[ProguninTN]

Gunny

You know every handgun law in your state, better than most police officers and lawyers

You know the laws of states you frequently visit better than your friends who are full-time residents.

 

[DRMMR02]

So I was just talking to some people in my living room, and the TV was on in the background. Well there was some commerical on and they were telling the phone number at the end and the nummbers "223" were in it. I immediately stoped and looked at the TV. My mind had tuned the TV until 223 was mentioned. It was pretty strange.

 

[hankdatank1362]

*Customers in your store regularly bring up "a bullet" they found laying in one of the aisles.

*There are more than 3 handguns in your desk drawers at any point and time, along with a whole drawer devoted to firarm cleaning equipment.

*Your co-workers and yourself have actually used FOF (airsoft, in our case) in the store for robbery and SHTF scenarios.

*You find spent brass casings in your shirt pocket from when you went to the range on your lunch break. (Didn't happen at work, but at school)

 

[skidooman]

my extension at work is 223, and when i moved to a new desk i made sure it moved with me.
We have the latest issue of Guns and Ammo in the lunchroom.
when planning a trip outside your area the first thing that runs through your head is, "can i carry there?"

 

[Low-Sci]

When your girlfriend points out an incongruency in a movie:
"Wait, Tommy Lee Jones just called the AR-15 bullet a 2.3, isn't it .223?"

And you can't help but respond, "I'm so proud of you honey."

That movie, by the way: The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.

The coin holder for the pop machine is as likely to have coins as empty brass or even complete rounds in it.

Yep. Same problem in my car....I was driving around for a month with 8 .308 rounds in one of those little center console trays without thinking anything of it, until a buddy was like "you should probably put those away, before I take them and use them".

Fortunately, I work with guns and ammo, so there's no issue, really .

When your girlfriend points out an incongruency in a movie:

It's happened to my girlfriend, it's happening to my dad, happened to my brother a long time ago. Some people refuse to watch movies with me because I will _ALWAYS_ point out weapon discrepancies without even realizing it.

 

[skidooman]

yeah ive got earplugs and a spare mag for my kimber stashed away in my car, for those "haven't shot the .45 in a while, lets stop off on the way home" days.

 

[SoCalShooter]

• Your parents tell you to lay off buying guns for a couple of months or they are gonna charge you rent.

 

[Barr]

You remember your co-workers extensions by their numbers like:
270
308 etc.

Your fiance does the laundry and finds assorted .22 bullets and empty centerfire pistol cases.

 

[TimboKhan]

You know your a gunny when you choose ammo thats on sale over food.

You know your a gunny when you buy a gun knowing that your not going to be able to afford the ammo for it for at least a month.

You know your a gunny when you get more excited about the Cabelas shooting catalog than you do the new issue of Playboy.

You know your a gunny when you start to honestly believe that you really NEED 52 guns in your house.

You know your a gunny when you write down reasons why your a gunny because they are all personally applicable to you.

 

[Hoppy590]

when the numbers in the deli ( the little tickets) hit 99 they roll over to 00.

i ofcourse call out "Double ought!" and get a giggle. and then again at ought 6
