-If your local gunsmith calls you for obsolete parts...
-If you home-school and use ballistic tables for math lessons...

-If you've ever had to explain "that it's not the same gun it's a variant!"...
-If watching the Lion King gives you the itch for a .470 Nitro...
-If you cut out your best groups and carry them in your wallet like photos...
-If you've ever gone to a gun show three times in one month, and were excited every time...

-If you can't figure out why your non-shooting friends laugh when you say "Bushmaster"...
-If you didn't get that last one because you don't have any "non-shooting" friends...
-If you driver's license says "must wear night vision goggles."
-If your shoulder is callused...
-If manufactures ask you how their rifles hold up.
-If you get misty eyed evey time you sell a gun..
-If you alternate Silvertips, Hydra-Shoks and Black Talons in your magazines because they look prettier that way..........
-If you guess windage and range every time you look at a road sign...
-If you went out to the range this weekend to shoot up ammo, just so you'd have some brass to reload...
-RCBS answers your phone calls, "What have YOU dreamed up this time?"..............

--from the pages of glocktalk.com
 
-- If you buy another safe not because you need it, but simply because it was a really good deal.

-- If you have more than one gun in your collection that you have never fired.

-- If you have ammo you bought years ago at a gun show just because you might own a gun in that caliber one day.

-- If you have ever bought a gun by mail.

-- If you got a C&R FFL just so you could qualify to own a machine gun someday in Massachusetts.

-- If you have ever carried a gun while on a first date.

-- If you still have spent brass weighing more than you do, and you don't even reload anymore.

-- If you have a safe devoted solely to ammunition storage.

-- If anytime anyone has a gun question, they call you first.

-if you keep your finger off the trigger of the bottle of windex untill your target is in your sights.


Noticed I did it the other day, and got me laughing!

Arrrr

Same thing happened to Ed and I - we both pointed at the other, andd then realized we were doing it ourselves. [lol]

(ps welcome back! :D )
 
I put up the long version a little while back. When I first saw the list in the early 90's I found myself laughing at the number of them that applied to me (some in sapdes). Now I just take the remaining ones as currently unmet goals. [wink]

11 here, and off to a gun show in an hour :D
Only looking for a bayo, 2 slings, 3 bayo frogs and wonder, what I end up with.
Oh, the bayo and 1 sling are for a rifle I hope to own by Christmas, Swedish M94 Carbine. That long M96 Swede needs a buddy to talk to in the safe.
