RET3006 You better go over your list.I think you might have forgotten a couple small points.
F4YG, Not me. I use to own one or two but decided it wasn't Politically Correct so I got rid of them.There is no need for a firearm when you have the Government protecting you.Plus 911 is right at your finger tips. I feel safer knowing those evil things are gone.
Ruger Redhawk

A few more:
You know the difference between a clip and a magazine.
The local gun and knife show is held in your basement.
You keep Brownell's on speed dial.
The local gun dealer calls you when he can't find an obscure part.
You watch a battle on the news and wish you were there so you can scrounge all that brass.

How about....
If when you take your girlfriend out for dinner and you look in your wallet you have more "laway or deposit" slips on guns than greenbacks.( True)
You get rid of a sofa and bookcase to make room for your gunsafe.(True)
You get rid of a couch to add on to the reloading bench.(True)
Around the Holidays your local gun shop owner sends you something from Swiss Coloney. (No but my outfitter did)
You buy ammo for guns you don't own because they look cool. (True)
Hey Ret3006,
You have an extra poster of Burt Gummer? Serioulsy now.

RE: You Might Be a Gun Nut if.......
-----you have ever bought ammo in a caliber that none of your guns fire
Been saving for a Ruger Super Redhawk .454 Casull for awhile (which I just picked up TODAY!!!
), but a few months back I got a heck of a deal on a set of .454 dies at a gunshow (that I couldn't pass up), then a week later Midway had a sale on their Starline .454Casull brass (that I couldn't pass up), and before I knew it I had 50 rounds of .454 Casull loaded and patiently sitting on my bench wait for a gun to be shot through! I also have a box of .243Win ammo that I bought before I changed my mine and bought a .22-250. Only 19 rounds though, 'cause I couldn't resist the urge to pull one bullet and see what kind and how much powder the factory ammo used.And I have a half box of .44Mag from a Rossi lever gun I USED to own.
Right now I have more ammo for guns I DON'T own, than for guns I do! Do I qualify as a "gun nut"?[8D]

How about when friends drop bring over a gun that has been reduced to a bag full of parts for you to put back together to save them the embarassment of having to go to a gunsmith?

RE: You Might Be a Gun Nut if.......
I should have read this post before I went to the airport. I was standing in line to go through the metal detectors. Reaching in my pocket to put my keys and change in the little bowl I felt at least 3, 357 mag cartridges......OOOOPS. Step out of line act like I forgot something.......nowdays that could have got me at least strip searched.
What did I do with the ammo.........let's just say pulling cast bullets are better done with pliers than teeth, before trashing the ammo.
