You might be a gun nut if........

[Got_Lead?]

It's more important that your holster matches your socks than your tie.......
That clunking noise in the dryer turned out to be your Beretta Bobcat, thats been missing since your wife did laundry......
You've worn out a set of hinges on the gun safe......
There's not a drawer in the house that doesn't have gun parts in it.....


OK, help me out here..........

 

[Geckgo]

when you see a sock and a washing machine, you think of cleaning brass.
you've ever wondered if you could actually drive tacks by tapping them in a bit and then shooting them with a 22.

 

[KenW.]

you can't bring yourself to put a black holster on a brown belt.
you ask your wife to put a little Hoppes #9 on for date night.
A gun show is a quality family activity for a Saturday.
you price shop and compare 9mm, 40SW and 45ACP at every store you step into with your wife.

You wonder why a store named TARGET, doesn't sell them.

Not a personal story, but a personal acquaintance of mine:

If your preferred gunsmith passes away, and their next of kin calls you to inform you that you've got 3 of your guns there.

And you realize those 3 guns have been there for about 5 years, and you hadn't thought of them because you hadn't gotten back around to their turn in rotation yet.

...when you break out your phone to use the calculator to find out the per round price of ammo.

...when you have a Gun Room.

 

[Zerodefect]

.......when you can't find a single gun in a gun store that deosn't need "fixing".

.......when nobody makes a perfect holster and you've started making you own.

.......when you have to throw some brass cases on your kitchen floor to "feel more at home".

 

[Unistat]

...your favorite thing about 4th of July fireworks is that it smells like the range.
...you plan your vacation on what out of area guns stores you want to visit.

 

[TimeIsRunninOut]

When you have a drawer full of holsters....and ordered more

 

[chhodge69]

... the term "gun nut" is an endearment.

 

[Effigy]

...when you keep a loaded gun in every room of your home. Maybe a knife of two as well.

 

[CapnMac]

When the phrase "gun nut" reminds to check on your most recent delivery from Brownell's--and you can't remember if it's parts, tools, or components this time.

 

[Telekinesis]

When you plan a date to Knob Creek (and the girl is actually excited!)

When you see the term ROE and start thinking about rules of engagement only to realize that you're writing an econ/finance paper and it really means return on equity.

***Why is this in Handguns: Autoloaders?

 

[Boothdt]

You know what CCW, CHL, CWP, BUG, DGU, MOA, FPS, FMJ, HP, JHP, FP, LRN, SJHP, BTHP, LSWC etc mean.

You introduce yourself to new people at work as "the resident Gun Nut"... and you work at a gun shop.

Your laughing at these jokes.

You're not excited about a single current GOP primary candidate

 

[Axel Larson]

You check the NRA listing before voting for a candidate.

 

[dagerv]

+1 on ammo pricing at the store with the wife

 

[gofastman]

...you use a variation of an old, worn out comedy routine that wasn't funny to begin with to start a thread on a gun forum

 

[MedWheeler]

.. your guns all have names.
.. someone has gotten a bruise at least once by bumping into your holstered weapon (ask my wife.)
.. you've ever dropped one in a public place.
.. you've ever had difficulty deciding what to wear (which gun, not which clothes!)
.. someone has actually asked you if you're a gun nut.

 

[spanishjames]

You check out the Gun forums before you open your mail/e-mails.

 

[Hondo 60]

...when you keep a loaded gun in every room of your home.

wait a minute!
Does the bathroom count as a room?

If yes, never mind....

 

[Effigy]

Does the bathroom count as a room?

Gotta be able to defend your castle while sitting on the throne, am I right?

 

[J_McLeod]

You find brass and/or ammo lying around the house or car and wonder how it got there.

 

[Axel Larson]

To post 18 I actually do that.

 

[Mick_W]

Personal true story.

When you open the door to the UPS guy who gives your package a little shake and then asks "more ammo again Mr. Woodward?" and you reply "Yup, see you again in a few days."

 

[colt1911fan]

#1 When your apartment wont allow ammo to be delivered there anymore

#2When you parents threaten to start charging a storage fee because all your packages from midway and all the other online gun shops take up that much room as a result of #1

#3When you start calling people out on their "weapons knowledge" including the unit armorer and unit small arms repairer and when they look it up they apologize because you were right

 

[RX-178]

.....Good god, I've been through all three of those, colt1911fan...
