Yesterday I found out that,of the five photo flashes in the house, only one had fresh batteries and that I had no spares handy. That, in itself isn't all that troublesome...but while looking for more batteries I had to move a dozen AK and about fifty AR15 magazines out of the way (all loaded up). Guess I have mutated into an enthusiast after all.

PS: http://oleg.lighthunters.net just got a nice update (about fourty new photos). Looking forward to adding another thirty pics shortly (mostly gun-related imagery left to script).

Hmmmm ... could be :D

My wife wanted some lemon juice the other day -- it was on my reloading bench (great for cleaning stubborn stains on brass)

Our front door hinges squeak -- the powdered graphite's on my reloading bench (for lubricating cases)

We ran out of Tupperware boxes for the freezer -- they stack nicely on my reloading bench and keep all the dust out.

Oooops ... I just joined you, I guess, Oleg

Do I get an honorable mention if I use coffee cans or those large cups from FF restaurants to hold empty brass?

Ah, but has the bowl by the door for your pocket plunder gotten so filled-up with the assorted cartridges that you've dumped into it from your pockets that you no longer can fit even your keys in it?

Does your drink no longer fit in your (brand-new) car's built-in drink-holder because of the empty and loaded pistol cases that were dumped in it?

Is laundry an interesting experience of locating the jingle of brass or the weight of loaded cartriges?

=============

If not, don't talk to ME about gun-nuts! (Or does that just make me a slob?) ;)
 
A one-bedroom apartment and I keep finding ammo that I don't remember buying! (But it fits).

Am I in the club?

:D HAHAHA I was bawlin' when I read that! But, better than that, is all the misc. cartridges that are sitting in the car's ashtray at the moment.

I should really clean that out.. I need to avoid all the unnecessary babble from Atlanta area Police.. if I get pulled over.

If the nice police officer asks if you have any weapons in the car, and you reply "I dunno, maybe we better check, sir," you might be a gun nut.
 
Hmm.. I think an officer could pretty much guess that I was a gun owner after he determined that my awefuly distinct North Gerogia accent wasn't anything like what he usually hears around Atlanta.

But thats just in case a few spent shells rolling around in the console AND the hearing protection / shooting glasses in the floorboard behind the seat DIDN'T give it away. :)

You're REALLY a gun nut if you find ammo (various calibers, of course) in your underwear drawer...least ways that's what my husband says...now what was he doing in my underwear drawer???

Then he must wear a crossdraw holster! I wondered what those were for! :)

BTW, you know you're a gun nut when you get given a new shirt, sweater or jacket for Christmas or your birthday, and exchange it for something that will cover a pancake holster.

You know you're a gun nut when your wife walks out of a smoky kitchen and says you need a new range, and you tell her there's nothing wrong with the one you shoot at now.

You know you're a gun nut when you sit through all four hours of "Schindler's List" irritated because you saw a German ARMY officer carrying a German NAVY Luger.

You know you're a gun nut when, during an eye exam, the optometrist shows you a letter E with the three prongs turned upward, and without thinking you let your breath out halfway and your index finger squeezes.

You know you're a gun nut when you mount a Tritium tube in the hood ornament on your car.

You know you're a gun nut when you push the ATM buttons from an Isoceles stance.

You know you're a gun nut when you walk tilted to the left every time you don't carry.

BONUS: How can you tell if a Texan is level-headed? Tobacco juice runs out of both sides of his mouth at the same time.
 
My fluff & Fold lady doesn't even look at me funny anymore as she hands me the cartridge, brass, magazine or knife she found in a pocket.

I used to worry about it.

1. The auto tools you need to disassemble your shotgun stock and install the pistol grip now live permanently in the weapons locker.

2. You have 9mm ammo stored in three different places in your house. A lot of 9mm ammo.

3. You keep your holsters in your closet or underwear drawer.

4. The following items never leave the back of your truck or SUV: Bench rest, spinning metal targets (one for .22, one for .45), supply of 9" pie plates, binocs or spotting scope, eye and ear protection, an ongoing rotation of various empty brass and ammo boxes.

5. You have six different kinds of .45 ACP for various uses. (FMJ, SWC, JHP, JHP+P, LRN, Glaser safety slugs)

6. Six months after you buy a bigger gun safe, you need a BIGGER gun safe.

7. You have bought a custom pistol and then paid to have it customized.

Or you buy magazines or ammunition in calibers for guns you don't own (yet)! :)

If you have more guns in your sock drawer than you have socks... You might be a gun nut.

Just finished moving into the new house...
First things in the sock drawer was a pair of .45s. Cant find the box that holds any of my socks... so right now I have just a Gun Drawer.

If a LEO in an internet gun forum calls you the 'Owner of Too Many Guns' and the name sticks, you might be a gun nut.
 
What about someone who:

after his first son is born, buys a BB Gun, a chipmunk .22, a Ruger 10/22, an AR 15, a Remington 700 in 300 WIN Mag, and a Remington 700 in .338. And also has two mutual funds set up for the boy's future. One for college and one for the African Hunt.

Is this person exempt from the disease since no handguns were purchased? (yet)
