You spend hours on the web researching S&W model numbers so you won't have to admit that you can't understand them.
Oh my GAWD! I've done that...
That said:
You spend your Christmas bonus on a gun the day after you get it and don't feel one bit guilty about it...
You already know exactly what guns you're gonna buy with your income tax refund...
You dream of someday retiring, buying a 100 acre plot of land and building a combination rifle/pistol range in your back yard...
I could go on but y'all get the idea!jaysouth

You get a belly band sewn into the back of a cummberbund so you can carry a 642 at black tie events.

What if you think Browning machine guns are music?

When you met your Significant Other she (oh, all right, "or he") barely knew which end the bullets came out from, but now spots movie/TV faux pas's ("faux pas's"? pases? pasi?) before you do!
When I met Mrs. Drang she had just gotten her first CPL and bought her first gun, a Taurus Model 85, but I knew she was the gal for me when she told me that she had learned to shoot on a 1911!

I definately was wearing a pair of pants that i wore at the shooting range and went into my pocket for some thing or another and pulled out a bunch of .22's with them. I was in high school at the time and was glad no one saw.

When you have SureFire and HK's phone numbers memorized 800.828.8809 and 703.450.1900 :banghead:
When someone wants to introduce you to a nice girl and the first thing you ask is, 'she's not an Anti is she'? :banghead:

You have a fist full of differing color highlight markers while reading Shotgun News and/or Gun List.
You can name the year of MFG by the serial # range...
Your friends all know you are THE guy to ask about anything remotely gun-related,
You feel completely comfortable at a cookout where everyone is packing heat.

You ask if your new telephone number can end in 4570
You think Peter Gunn is a nickname for a CCW gun
You reach into your pocket for change and pull out a bunch of .22's
You ignore the "girly" magazines at the store seeking the gun magazines.
You look for the "hidden" calibers in license plate numbers
The gunstore owner hands you a key to open the store in the morning.
You bust into tears when you are re-united with a gun you regretfully traded away years before.
Your wife arranges to have the lining of your coffin depict guns instead of angels.
Your favorite war is the American Revolution because the first letter in each work = AR
You ditched a friend because he bought an AK instead of an AR.

Whenever you pick up your electric hand tools, your index finger is automatically straight and outside of the trigger guard.
Rule #4 : Keep Your Finger Off The Trigger until your drill is aligned!
Rule #4 : Keep Your Finger Off The Trigger until your drill is aligned!
…when you count rounds fired in TV and movies to see if the shooters are reloading at appropriate intervals…and then you’re REALLY excited when they actually show a reload …
...or when you waited through the entire "CHiPs Patrol" intro to see the S&W in Ponch's duty holster...

You try to get your access card at work with your favorite caliber, such as 4570,3006 or you try for your favorite gun 1911

Your wife asks you to watch the Leonardo DeCrapio version of Romeo and Juliet to ID the guns.
You took your wife/significant other to the range...on the first date.

You casually ask every girl (or guy) that youre thinking about asking out "so how do tyou feel a bout guns" before making a move.
Um, guilty...
Better to wait for the second date for that one. In my experiance anyway...

LOL! Carrying while walking down the aisle?! I wore a KelTec P11 while GETTING married! The best man carried a SW auto, (can you believe I can't remember the model number?), and one of the groomsmen had a Glock 22.
You can usually find any lost foam earplugs or missing .22 LR rounds in the washing machine.
The sheer volume of empty brass visible in the floorboard of your truck would be "probable cause" for a search if you are ever stopped by police.
You see every piece of trash, empty plastic bottle, worn out electrical appliance, too old fruit or vegetable, or piece of old furniture in your house in one of two ways.......Fun targets or boring targets.

::guilty:: Actually, this is really sort of disconcerting when the tool in question isn't even vaguely gun-shaped. I caught myself indexing my finger along the handle of a crosscut hand saw the other day.
And I always keep my finger off the trigger of my circular saw. That one's quite prudent, though, I think. My contributions:
When you tell the wedding photographer, before the wedding, to make sure to get a photo of the entire wedding party with their assorted hardware. And she says, "Cool!".
When you tell the wedding officiant, before the wedding, to be prepared when the entire wedding party pulls out all of their assorted hardware, for the photo shoot. And she says, "Cool!".[0]
When you can't do the "garter" wedding ritual becuse the bride is packing, and that's where she's packing.
When you seriously consider buying the neighbour's property, and razing their house, because if you did, you could set up a really nice range using their back-yard hill as a backstop.
When your lady-wife knows you well enough to procure an EOTech 512 holosight for you for Christmas.

You woke up this morning, made your bed, and found a spent 22 LR in the sheets. I know I did.
