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

The number of guns you own is greater than the number of years you've been alive.

I too have flashes of different guns when I see their numbers at work; 642, 229 etc.
 
One of the guys at church says " you look like you need some range therapy time"
I'm trying to buy my friends revolver...I woke up Thurs. 6/16 at 3:57(mod 19)
I was weighing investment at work...the second scoop weighed 135.7 grams.
You stop the gas pump so the ammount reads as a cool caliber designation.

- Your wife tells you you are NOT allowed to remove any bricks or dig any holes in the yard as hiding places for guns at the house you just bought (yup...happened)

- You've ever taken up a collection of unused AOL CDs at the office so you have more free targets (my wife did this :)

- Coworkers clean out every AOL CD display at the store to fill your collection box

- Your wife doesn't allow you to reload in the house for fear of stepping on a BB while walking to get a drink of water in the middle of the night

-d

(For the record, my wife came up with most of these from HER experiences before meeting me. She has yet to take me on my first hunting trip. Guess who the gun nut in THIS family is? :)
 
sealth buys

I have a two ways that never fail. Any firearm, it Jimbos and I am just taking a look at it for him. Sceond bring it home diassembled and call it spare parts.
 
Might be one, if..

If you have more than 12 extra holsters in your holsters box. (for the same gun)

If you had a reloading machine stored in its original box because you have it but don't know how to reload.

If you still have parts or add-ons for guns which you sold a long time ago.

If your safe is overflowing but you keep on collecting new toys (but more often than not bring out only :D your old favorites to shoot).

Like one of my old Texas buddies says..you bring out some old guns to play with even though "that dog don't hunt anymore." :D
 
I can relate

You prioritize everyone at the deli by their threat probability.
That one's not so funny. Common sense.
On to humor: The RO wants to see the stuff you brought today, then asks to shoot it when it's slow.
Gunshop employee puts a pound of Varget and .224 TNT's on the counter when you walk in.
Shop owner asks your opinion on an appraisal.
You have enough smokeless and black powder to make your wife quit smoking.
Your wifes uncle gives you an heirloom firearm simply because he knows it will be cared for.
 
I may have said the same thing in a similar post, but at the risk of sounding redundant (or consistant :D ), here goes...

...get home after a hard day at work, open a cold one, and peruse THR!

Not that I've been known to do this! :rolleyes:
 
When your manager asks what's new on THR.

When your buddy brings you IDPA targets AT WORK.
(And nobody says anything)

When you have to sort through your change can for ammo B4 you take it to the bank.

When you bring tracers to the july 4th BBQ instead of firecrackers.

When the first gift you get for a new Nephew is a 10/.22
 
Your favorite gun shop owner calls you...at home...and asks you for a history lesson and price on a obscure weapon that just came in the front door of his shop...
 
you have

read all the way down to this post and can't figurer out what is so strange or different about any of the previous posts?!?!!? :confused:
 
Well..

You look at a tree and wonder how long and how many shots it would take for the thing to fall down. (We knocked a couple of branches down back in the winter when we were on a couples retreat. I then started trying to figure out how long it would take us to knock the whole tree down.)

BTDT---cut down a couple smalls one so far(they were dead anyway)...8mm Mauser w/ cheapo surplusammo are good for this
 
You might be a gun nut if

-The DEA,CIA,BATFE,Army,FBI, local SWAT,City,County,State police have your number on speed dial in case they have a gun that they can't identify, or if they need a history on a gun or weapons system.

-These same officials regularly call you to give shooting instructions to the new recruits.

-You get a job at "Ten second walk dot com" so you can spend more time at home reloading,cleaning,dry fireing ...

-You buy components by the palet and not by the box.

-You get a job at place that has a HAZMAT dock just so you can buy components by the palet.
 
You MIGHT be a gun nut if:

- When you take your coffee can of spare change to the "Coinstar" machine at the grocery store, you always lose at least three rounds of pistol ammo into the machine by mistake.

- When you put three boxes of No. 7 1/2 12 gauge birdshot in the bottom of your closet the day after dove season, and by the next dove season they have spontaneously bred to over 25 boxes.

- When you find out your daughter is pregnant, you run down to the gun store and put a shotgun on layaway for your grandchild.

And if the sonogram later shows it to be a girl, your run down and change the layaway to a 20 gauge.
