Re: You might be a gun nut... If you keep a gun in every room, including the garage, car, truck glove-box, pantry, and bathroom - so that if you somehow can't reach your carry gun, or your ankle gun, or your pocket-pistol, or the gun you're currently cleaning in time, you still have at least one gun within arms reach.... :biggrin: (Ask me how I know this!)

Re: You might be a gun nut... Nope. I checked the list to see if I was a gun nut and it turns out that I am NOT a gun nut. I turned out to be "normal" (by GIM standards). :biggrin: Since I do not have a gun (yet), then I think that automatically makes me "normal" (by GIM standards).

OJWJ, May be true but do the "normal" really belong here? Surely you must have some personality quirk that makes you one of us??? (yeah, I know. "Don't call me Shirley.") :36_1_34:

Probably not but what do I know. :dontknow: I guess it depends on what you mean by "normal". I am sure that I have some personality quirk that makes me one of you all but I cannot find it yet. I am still searching for that personality quirk. :111:

Re: You might be a gun nut... -If every time you hear a pop, bang, boom or thump you estimate what the caliber could be. -If when your kids use a laser to play with the cat, you double check exactly which laser they're using. -if you know why 30-06 is not pronounced "thirty alt six" It's thirty aught six. :ok: R.

Apparently I am not a gun nut... Only half of that list applies to me, so... I am merely a gun enthusiast.
