You flunked every math and chemistry class in highschool yet can calculate complicated ballistics formulas.

You consider hoppes as a dual purpose product bore cleaner/air freshener.

You spend 95% of your money on guns even if it means living in a ratnest and see absolutly nothing wrong with that.

you are constantly trying to outwit your wife by taking old guns out of their place and putting the new one you just snuck in the house in it place because she can't tell the difference between them and she just goes around counting them.(my neighbor he just told me this at a gun auction today)


You've ever "tried this at home" even when you knew you shouldn't.
You have more permits than credit cards or photos in your wallet.
You manage to add firearms to any and all social conversations.
Your guns are cleaner than the rest of your house.
You have a weapon that NOBODY is allowed to touch or even look at.
You've ever felt like a kid in a candy store when you go into a gunshop.
You've ever actually missed your gun when it wasn't right there with you.
Click to expand...
you've skipped school to go to a gun auction when as far as your teachers know your at the "doctors";)
guilty as charged officer
 
Those are some good ones!

But I have a knot in my gut that may not go away after Nov 5 (but please GOD I hope so!)
 
If you have already printed out Osama style targets, but with O'kommy's face on the paper.

If you become frustrated when you learn that you were once in a house containing hundreds of firearms as a child and didn't know it.

If you know how to field stip a firearm blindfolded in 10 seconds even though you have never touched that particular firearm in your life.

If you can identify nearly any magazine and know what firearm it is designed for.

If you are planning on building your third .50 cal from scratch.

If you don't understand how someone can confuse an AK47's appearence with an AK74's appearence.

If you find an old S&W .357 behind your TV 20 years after you lost it.

If you have a 20 year old TV because all of your money goes to firearms and ammunition.
 
someone already said it, but I always found this funny "you just have to go to the range on friday, s you will have some brass to reload over the weekend"

btw, I am very guilty on the helping others at gun stores thing, I doubt the gun store commandos like it.
 
How about being on a two or four-lane state highway to visit a family member and you seem to be scanning both sides of the road-in any small town-hoping that a pawn shop sign will say '....Guns', if not a gun store?

'You never met a gun store you did not like', asking for Will Roger's forgiveness.
 
Gunshop employees ask you to show customers your custom built 1911 (guilty)

Local Chief of Police asks you to take his training officer shooting once in a while (guilty)

Can recall drop tables and clicks more easily than birthdays or anniversary (guilty)

Range officers meet you at your car to see what you brought (guilty)

Gunshop employees ask you to recommend training courses (guilty)


And a few of the previous ones, too.

Good thread. Everybody needs to laugh now and again.
 
You might be a gun nut if...

Hello all,
...You find a smoken good deal on powder/brass/dies even though you don't have a gun that goes with those components.

... You take a job that has a HAZMAT placard and a dock just so you can order powder and primers in bulk.:evil::neener:

...The FBI/DEA/BATF has your number on speed dial in case they come across a gun that they don't know about.

...Every time your friends go on vacation they call you and say they found and old model(insert model make style here) and ask if they should buy it for you.

...When the powder companies are contemplating a new entry they call you for input and send you the preproduction sample for testing.

...When the bullet makers are contemplating a new entry they call you for input and send you the prepuoduction samples for testing.

...When the City/County/State police are contemplating switching calibers or guns they call you for input.

...At estate sales of veterans they call you to ask what they should charge for all the gun stuff the deceist left behind.
 
You might be a gun nut when you have ammo for a gun you don't own, dies to reload it, and are collecting brass just in case you do buy that cailber some day.
 
Ok, this one applies to me:

You might be a g_n n_t if:

You went to the biggest gun show in the USA last weekend, NOT because you needed a gun. You already did your "liberals are a comin' " shopping, but your friends didn't, so you went to the show, PAID to get in, to make sure they didn't get ripped off. Then you stayed even longer to help some people that you met at the show. Then you got a headache from the HUGE event crowd and took 3 ibuprofen and drove home!

You prefer to get paid in reloading components (bullets, brass, etc.) for favors you do to fix other people's 1911's. Whew...:banghead:
 
I have an attorney friend who thinks that "gun" and "nut" are an unfortunate combination of words. :D
 
If you want to look for something on youtube, and:

You end up typing in 'thehighroad.org' instead without thinking.

Then you realize your mistake... and somehow manage to do it AGAIN.

This happened to me moments before I made this post.
