On the way to the range a freshly showered bride slinks into the bedroom in a tiny teddy, and you keep going

When you purchase a 22 rifle for your unborn child. (3mos into your wifes pregnancy)

When your 9 yr old son is taking your reloading manual to school and actually reading it....

When your 9 yr old son saves his own money to purchase his own air soft guns and pellet guns. (can't be out done by his buddies)

When your children and all of their friends go camping together, they all plan thier own hunting trip while camping....

When you remodel your house, you purposly set your shop window in a place you can fire out of. (My buddy is trying to convince his wife of that one).

When you wife expects that you will make here a "hunting widow" every deer season, and for a few months before.

When how much you spend on firearms and accessories in a year starts to rival how much the average woman spends on clothes and shoes in a year?

Geez... Just my Shotgun ammo would have the cops in a typical raid looking for some unique to suck on...

I used to shoot trap competetively and feel "uncomfortable" if I don't have 8-10 CASES
of 12ga target loads ready to go...

Guilty!

When a friend has the phone number 338-4570 and lives off of exit 223 and you are jelous of both

When you see a TV news report of a drug raid
"with a huge cashe of arms and ammunition"
And your girlfriend comments (dryly) that SHE used more ammo than that on your last trip to the range...

When dating a girl you start to think "She's THE ONE" when she says that her brother got his own centerfire deer rifle on his 16th birthday and she was really ticked off that she didn't get one on her 16th!

You're redneck gunnut when your
bigbores are all singleshot and the
safari car is double barrel....Ed

You figure out the safest room in your house in case of tornado or other disaster, and put the gunsafe, ammo, treestands, etc. in that room. Then you tell the family that the second safest spot is really the safest.

You may be a gun nut if:

1. You've bought your great-granddaughter her first rifle (a Cricket with a pink laminated stock) and she's only three months old.

2. A friend who is a local CSI asks you to come to the lab to verify something since the normal firearms specialist is on vacation.

3. Your six-year-old granddaughter gets in trouble at school for reading her report on grandpa's fall hunting trip on which she went!

4. The mailman brings more gun-oriented magazines and catalogs than "junk mail."

5. The family doesn't remember what beef tastes like, but prefers elk and caribou to deer and antelope.

6. At the Methodist Church potlucks, the little old ladies ask which type of wild game you are serving tonight...and are happy to try it.

-You don't really need to go to a gunshop for somthing new. You can just go to the garage and dig through dusty old boxes and find all sorts of neat gun stuff you forgot you bought!............DJ

When you don't think in terms of dollars but rather as gun units. After taxes i think this check will be about 4 gun units.

When a US Marshal asks you to bring out a few different guns for a class he is giving on firearms.

When the only good picture any of your family members has of you involves a gun, a hunting dog, a dead animal, or some combination of the three.

you might be a gun nut if: midway, your favorite gunsmith and brownells are all on your speedialer.

I know I am a gun nut because I plan my trips and travels to co-ordinate with gunshow dates and gunshop opening hours!
I know I am a gun nut because I will buy brass and dies for calibers I don't even own yet!
I know I am a gun nut because I have PERFECTED several different "sneak the new gun in the house" routines!
I know I am a gun nut because when the wife comes to me and asks what I would like for our anniversary she has a pad and pencil with her to write down the make, model and caliber!
I know I am a gun nut because I have dreams about new firearms coming out on the market!
I know I am a gun nut because I have held garage sales to raise money to buy a new gun!
I know I am a gun nut because when my relatives pass on I opt for their firearms over money!
I know I am a gun nut because when I go to garage sales and estate sales I always take the sale holder aside and ask about... you know... firearms!
Being a gun nut is a good hobby and it makes my other two hobbies more fun as well - shooting and Hunting!

You know you are a "gun-nuttus-plumbus" when you turn down a 25% pay increase and transfer to a job you've wanted for years because your company won't pay to move 5,000 lbs. of linotype..........

You know your a gun nut if no one remembers whats under the rimfire brass in your driveway or your parking spot at work.

When the master bedroom in the house I'm buying is automatically considered the reloading room because the equipment won't fit in any of the smaller bedrooms. Not to mention the bigger closet for gun and barrel storage.

You may be a gun nut if:

Your house is on fire and when the fire department shows up you wave them away because you don't want them
to get hurt when all the powder and primers go off.


When you are moving and you caution a mover to not drop that box because it has 40,000 primers in it and
there wouldn't be much left of him if it detonates.

When your wife says "Go buy another gun safe, I want my closet, the hall closet, and the closet in the guest
bedroom back."

When you go to buy a new car/truck and you take a tape measure with you to ensure the gun rack will fit.


It is scary how many of the other posts on this topic describe you accurately.

When you think M 700's are a collectors series and your starting on your second set.

When you own more reloading manuals than all other books in the house combined.
