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

[Crosshair]

This just happened last night and I think qualifies.

...If you are sizing brass and can tell the difference between a 22-250 case and a .243 case by touch alone.

I've caught quite a few .243 cases this way.

You feel COMPELLED to take EVEN ex-wives on shooting outings, and you LOAD for THEM! God help me!

You own one.

You might be a gun nut if...

You have Walli World on speed dial so that you can find out the exact day they get their shipment of Winchester white box value packs ...

And then once you get their, the attendant behind the register calls you by name and only asks how many boxes in each caliber today ...

P.S. You also get mad when ,"The New Guy", is there and you have to walk them through the process of what you are there to buy ...

Guilty as charged

How about my gun crazy husband coming home on Valentines Day with a rifle case and a box of ammo? Then for my anniversary present a S&W 629.

How about my gun crazy husband coming home on Valentines Day with a rifle case and a box of ammo? Then for my anniversary present a S&W 629.

And that same husband refers to the cost of all non-firearm related purchases in terms of boxes/cases of ammo or certain firearms that can be purchased for the same price.

Example: 1 25.7 oz can of Similac Isomil Formula = 2 boxes of 100 rnd WWB 9mm

you sell your wife on getting the lights in the garage replaced with fluorescent ones 'cuase they'd give her better lighting when she does the laundary but in reality you are looking for better lighting for your gun photography and general gun tinckering

If the BATF comes to your door because they're "trying to trace a gun"

When you ask which one and they say "Colt Diamondback", you have to ask "which one?" again

When they say the nickle one, you ask if its the two inch or the four inch.

When they want to come in and see ALL your guns, you laugh heartily and hand them your RKBA attorneys card--just before stepping back inside and slamming the door.

When you show up at the local BATF office with your attorney, the agents are visibly nervouse and appear to have tripled in number.

When you are handing over your Colt revolver collection to the agents for them to verify serial numbers, you ask them to first put on cotton gloves.

Which you have provided.

When they ask why you can no longer produce the 12 Makarovs you bought at one time last November, you look at them and say: "Christmas Presents. Duh!"

...you have used CLP as an aftershave more than once.

when you wacth Black Hawk Down, you wish you were there to pick up all the brass.

 

[artherd]

You look at a tree and wonder how long and how many shots it would take for the thing to fall down.

You KNOW the number of rounds for a 12" fir tree (seven, .50BMG)

When one of the reasons you took your new apartment was the number.
223
When your last apt# was 308

 

[Gung-Ho]

Have ammo and reloading dies for firearms you don't own yet.

You think being down to 3000 rounds of ammo for your favorite rifle, is being OUT OF AMMO.

You sit in you easy chair with your M1 Carbine and help John Wayne pick off the bad guys.

You buy some your wife some expensive perfume, and put Hoppes #9 in the bottle.

Everyone at the range knows you by your first name, and they call to make sure your OK if you miss a day.

[coonan357]

you hang your clothes up in the safe because theres no room in the closet for them .. ( I always wanted a display rack like they have at the store for my rifles...) and they are easier to get out ( the clothes )

 

[IZinterrogator]

This happened to me today:

You might be a gun nut if you stop by the gun store "just to say hi" for a few minutes during lunch and you talk a guy into buying a Springfield XD for him and a .357 Taurus revolver for his wife, pointing out that his wife can learn to use it with .38 Spl ammo. And you arrive back from lunch an hour and a half late.

 

[Too Many Choices!?]

You might be a gun nut if,

Your collection is so large that your family, the neighbors family , and some visiting relatives (20people or so )can all go to the range with you, and nobody is empty handed, as everbody can have a rifle on their shoulder and a pistol on the hip ...
