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).

Re: You might be a gun nut...
 

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:

Re: You might be a gun nut...
 

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:

Re: You might be a gun nut...
 

As was said about him a while back.

He's an outlaw without a gun....

Re: You might be a gun nut...
 

Only on GIM...........

:111: :111: :111: :111:

Nothing much as changed with me at the present time. I am still an outlaw without a gun. Maybe one day that will change. You never know. Anything is possible.

Re: You might be a gun nut...
 

damn... more guilty on more counts than I would have guessed.

Re: You might be a gun nut...
 

I must be a gun nut because the below items apply to me...

Apparently I am not a gun nut...
 

Only half of that list applies to me, so...

I am merely a gun enthusiast.
