Am I just a huge dork or...

I once had a 22 Beretta semi auto that I named what comes out the back end of a dog.

I do drive a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan with 296000 miles on it I call Gertie.

Good old American van.

She still runs great too.
 
I have a rifle I call "Reason" (if they won't listen to anything else maybe they'll listen to reason). :eek:

All of my carry sidearms fall under the code heading of "agenda" because if I'm printing or whatever my wife tells me she can see my hidden agenda. :rolleyes:
 
Don't know about naming guns after living people - but I have named animals after guns. Had a dog called Colt and a cat named Rossi :)
 
Gun Dork

I figure that if the factory wanted to name it, they engraved it on there. However, this is a funny thread, there is a joke in here somewhere (or maybe an impersonation):
  • If you named your 1911 for a character from Dungeons and Dragons, you might be a GunDork.
  • If your children are named 30ought6 and 44Magnum, you might be a GunDork.
  • If you named your shotgun after your hair grow medication, you might be a GunDork.

Definitely Dork
 
Yeah, names for guns, tractors, chainsaws, kitchen applances, sweaters, blankets, pillows, shoes, boots, jammies, stuffed animals . . . pretty much pegs the dork needle. :rolleyes:
 
I don’t think I name mine but I do call each by name.
Such as Sig 229 or my LCP, ect……

The ones I have 2 of : I just call them Old 226 and NEW 226

Even the wife knows each gun by ITS name.

But NO your not a DORK!;) I just have to many to try and name and remember.
 
Welcome, dork, from the biggest dork here. Every one of my handguns has a name. I only have one long gun, and I don't really care about it, so it is nameless. If one of em was "too utilitarian" as you say, I'd probably call it Jethro, or Zeke, or something of the kind. I just mull it over every time I get one, and when I come up with a name that fits, it sticks. My wife got me started, and it just has become a thing I do. Oh well, go ahead guys, pile on the dork points. Hey, at least I try to come up with fitting names. My wife calls her revolver Ruby. I asked her why, and she said "it just sounds good". Now there's a dork for ya!!
 
I believe a Dork is a whales reproductive organ. Which may or may not be a good thing to call a fellow. Even if he does name his firearms.
 
Yep, dork. Although I have a great passion for firearms and quickly become attached to them, I've never really seen the appeal of naming or assigning a sex to an inanimate object.
 
My guns are un-named. My shooting buddy calls his M&P "Black Betty" from the Ram Jam's only hit. Bam Ba Lam.
