YOU KNOW YOU'RE A GUN NUT IF ................

You've ever bragged about the size of the groups your semi-auto throws
with its empty brass.

Your primary cubicle decoration at work or on your fridge at home is
your best target group.

Your guns are cleaner than your home.

You tag pages in SGN/GL for later reference

You'd rather have a $10,000 PSG-1 and drive a $600 car rather than
drive a $10,000 car and have a $600 gun.

You rather ban alcohol than hi-cap clips/mags.

If a topless joint with free admission is half a mile away, and instead
you drive 40 miles to the shooting range on a Saturday night.

You alternate silvertips and hydra-shocks in your magazines because they
look prettier that way.

You watch La Femme Nikita just to see the HK MP5s.

You can't figure out why your non-shooting friends laugh when you say
"Bushmaster".

You collect brass even though you only buy factory ammo.

If "Miller Time" means plinking at beer cans.

When the highlight of your week is discovering that six .40 SW
hollowpoints fit perfectly in a plastic 35mm film canister.
(5 up/1 down in the middle).

You ever had to explain "It's not the SAME gun, it's a different
VARIANT".

You read the sports section/classifieds just for the gun ads.

When someone talks about 12 gauge steel, you wonder if it has anything
in common with shotguns.

You can spot spent brass at 50 paces.

You pick up brass in calibers you don't shoot, just in case.

You have a drawer full of holsters that weren't quite right (don't we
all?).
You watch old WWII movies and can identify and look at all the rifles
and handguns but can't remember who starred in the movie or what it was
about.

You buy a gun that is a duplicate of one you already have because the
original one might break someday.

If 30.06 or 8X57 to you is just as appealing as 36-24-36.

You drive over fifty miles to buy anything gun-related.

You own more than two loading presses.

Your non-handloading friends bring you their empty brass instead of
throwing it away.

You start feeling uneasy if you have fewer than 500 rounds on hand for
your favorite shooter.

You reflexively count the number of shots fired by every weapon in the
film,then gripe to your friends when the guns exceed the capacities

You make $50 per hour at work, but spend 30 minutes on your knees at the

range looking for that last piece of reloadable brass.

You read 300-400 messages on rec.guns every day, in addition to being
subscribed to the Glock, SIG, HK, Kahr, Tactics, IPSC, and IDPA mailing
lists, and you still wish there was more to do in the Internet firearms
community.

Your telephone number is: 223-2250 or 308-3006 or 303-3040 or some other
combination of three + four digit calibers.

You think there is some special significance when you glance at a
digital clock and it shows 3:08, 3:57, 2:23, etc., no matter how many times you see it.

You go to the range just to hang out.

You consider concealed carry every time you shop for clothes.

You order a new model HK handgun BEFORE your H&K stocking dealer has
even heard about it, and BEFORE there is even a set wholesale price on the gun. :-)

If your wife/girlfriend starts using Hoppes No. 9 instead of perfume to get your attention

If all your computer passwords are firearms related.

You read "rec.guns" before your morning coffee.

You tape American Shooter so you can pause, reverse and fast forward to do a complete analysis of the show.

You visit the range more then twice a week.

Your wife says to buy a gun she would like you to sell one first (not funny but common).

You teenage daughter's next date is introduced to you while your sitting
at the loading bench cleaning your M-1.

You approach total strangers and ask if they're going to keep their
brass.

You've ever photographed your entire gun collection, but "insurance purposes" never entered your mind

You let your wife go out and blow all kinds of money on junk she'll never use just so she won't gripe when you buy that latest piece you really need for your collection.

I love the smell of gun powder on a Saturday
morning at the range.

This is my main hobby.

I really love to burn up 3 or more boxes of .357 for fun. Shit I could go on for hours.
