GUN NUT

I actually have a relatively short list that I'm working my way down. The thing that my wife doesn't know is that when I buy the one on the top of the list, I secretly add another to the bottom. ;)
 
I JUST GOT A GLOCK!!!!!! IT'S A SMALL GLOCK, BUT A GLOCK JUST THE SAME. GOD HELP ME, I'M A GUN NUT NOW!!!! ;)

Going gun nuts, converting the wife, proselytizing on the job, and trying to figure out how to make more money to buy more guns, accessories, and ammo.

Got to find a way to keep up with the gun nut law. "Buy One Gun a Month" Lord, help me be a law abiding gun nut, amen!

Does holding down two part-time jobs in addition to my full-time job just to support my "habit" qualify?

One of those jobs is at my favorite gun shop, so they let me shop at a pretty good discount since I work there. I basically sign my paychecks back over to them and walk out with merchandise instead!
 
Gun Nut is not a desirable title????

Also, I just tell my wife that they're a realitively liquid asset, and the majority of our retirement savings. hse askes "what are youn going to do if they're allbanned and you have to turn them in???" I tell her "if that happens we won't need a retirement plan!" :)

That should put your girlfriend in the right frame of mind!
 
"if that happens we won't need a retirement plan!"

TJ, you *do* realize that this statement could be taken the wrong way, yes? ;)
 
I have convinced my wife I don't have a lot of money tied up in these guns, which is true.
6 handguns 3 of which around 100.00 ea..
CZ-52,Phoenix HP-22,Sundance Point Blank
3 handguns at about 249.00 ea average KelTec P-11,P-32,SW 22a
1- .22 lr Remington 597 129.00
1- Marlin 25mn .22 mag 159.00
1-used Mossburg 500 12ga w/rifled barrel 75.00, adj.choke smooth barrel-50.00
1-safe at ???

She thinks I am a gun nut cause I have a bunch of ammo and I always buy more!

I of course disagree and say you can never have enough. Fortunately, she just smiles and shakes her head!

By the way, Paul- Funny one about bein' in the rain!! I chuckled out loud while being here with my gun nut friends.

Gun nut, huh? I qualify by everyone's requirements I've read so far. (I even have somewhere over 40 shooters, but not sure if its 42 or 43 and two NIBs stashed in the closet) Everyone that knows me says that I am one, but I just can't call my self a certified gun nut yet. Reason? - I haven't been given a certificate proclaiming it to the world. Anyone know where to get one? My wife says I'm definately "certifiable" and my wall has an empty space. :D
 
I don't think you qualify as a "GUN NUT" until you have a walk-in safe. Now that's an ambition I can aspire to.

Eric, you are almost right, to be a real gun nut would require a walk in gun safe with so much content that there is no room to turn around.

Gun Nuts, Hmmm. I don't mind being labeled for the sake of clarity.

Here's my take.

I used to work on cars for a living, or was a GREASE MONKEY and it didn't pay very damn well either. One thing I discovered about that line of work was, that every time a "friend" needed their car worked on, they found me. Of course generally it was assumed the labor would be free, after all, I was their friend, right?
I also realized that my car was going down the tubes because I was spending too much time on others'. To hell with this I said.

I changed skills, and life styles, as a result. I went into electronics, and became the Electronics Nut And soon found out that I had some of the same old friends, and others, who wanted their TV, or stereo, or whatever worked on. Yup, same general concepts applied here as well, they didn't want to cover my time in the venture. When I refused the arrangement, they decided I was no longer their friend. Oh well. I learned that if you have to buy your friends, then you really haven't any friends at all.

I spent 10, or more years working on, and becoming reasonably proficient with computers, and as a result was labeled a Computer Freak. Now, after setting up several of the same people who used to label me as such, I'm the guy called to resolve their software/hardware woes.

Now, I'm labeled a Gun Nut by my non-peers. Because I exercise my right to have and use firearms. So be it. I'm proud of it, I display it on the car window, and on some clothing articles. I advertise that I'm a patriot, and a believer and defender, of the Constitution, and BOR. I'm also proud to be a member of TFL. I consider myself to be in great company here. Not just because we all have a similar, and comman goal. But because we're not afraid to speak our minds, and read, and learn from others' experiences, and beliefs.

I wonder, when will they call upon me to resolve their "crisis" next time, only this time it will be with a firearm.

Best Regards,
Don

Coinneach,

Of course I meant that if guns were banned, that we will have conquered societies problems, and be part of a truly harmonious, socialist country. Where everyone is fed, clothed and has all they could ever desire. In this eutopia, neither guns nor a retirement plan would be necessary.

What on earth else could I have possibly been referring to???
