You Just Might Be A Gun Nut If......

[frisco-kid]

you ever loaded a drawer up with so much ammo you couldn't open it.

when someone asks how many guns you have, you have to think a minute.

you ever bought ammo that none of your guns fired.

the guns you took to the range cost more than your car.

you carry a different gun every day of the week.

whenever you can't decide which gun to buy, you buy them both.

you get your wife/girlfriend to wear Hoppes 9 instead of perfume.

you didn't shoot half the guns you took to the range.

you have an extra room in your house just for guns and ammo.

you count the number of bullets fired in a movie and then yell at the top of your lungs, "BULLSHIT!!" when a guy mows down a battalion of bad guys without reloading.

you know more about the Constitution than your lawyer.

your wife leaves you and you don't mind. Your dog is run over by a car and you barely flinch. But when your favorite gun gets scratched when you accidently dropped it, you cry a river.

you have more holsters than Imelda Marcos had shoes.

you can field strip any of your guns while hanging upside down and blind folded.

you ever bought a gun to fill an old holster that somebody gave you.

you ever accidently ran a pocket pistol through the washer, still in your pants pocket.

when spending pocket change, you have to pick coins out of a handful of loose ammo.

you have ever busted a spring on your car from loading too much ammo in the trunk to go shoot at the range.

researched one of your firearms for the manufacturing date, and then threw a birthday party for it.

your dog is "Dog" and your cat is "Cat", but each one of your guns has a name.

you say "DAMN! That's a fine looking piece!", and your wife knows that you're not talking about a woman.

the cops called the Homeland Security after they pulled you over.

you ever carried more than two guns at once.

the local gunshop needs an obscure magazine, and they call you.

you have more holsters than pants.

you regularly sit and stare at your guns for awhile, and the rest of the family doesn't think it's strange.

you can actually take a nap at the shooting range.

you consider that the cheaply gold plated HR MP-5 was reason enough to oust Hussein.

you find more .22LR ammo than change in your sofa.

the local SWAT Team stops by your house for guns and ammo before going to the big bust.


Any more to add, boys and girls?

Tom,

You must have visited with Sid and the Colonel.

"You put nice frames around your targets with the best groups and hang them with pride next to the portraits of your children."

Actually saw that in a home of a gun nut.

You might be a gun nut if you dream about hunting and shooting.

[DMZ-LT]

Sold a Marlin .35 and bough a Ruger Carbine 10/22 stainless with composit stock for $199. Then bought 525 rounds of hollow pt. long rifle for $9. Life is good. Cans tremble at the mention of my name.

LT,
I had one of those Ruger 10/22s until somebody else decided they wanted it. It sure was fun to shoot. The little cav trooper is going to love shooting yours as soon as he is big enough.

Brazil gun amnesty nets huge haul

A Brazilian woman in Sao Paulo has handed almost 1,300 firearms to the authorities, claiming $65,000 under a government disarmament scheme.

The woman, whose cache ranged from muskets to mortar shells, told police her late father was a gun collector.

The haul was collected from her home in a heavily-armed police truck.

More than 7,000 weapons have been surrendered across Brazil since the campaign launch last week, in which the government pays citizens for weapons.

According to the United Nations, Brazil has the world's fourth-highest murder rate, with 40,000 gun-related murders last year.

Under the scheme, payments range from $33 for a pistol to $100 for an assault rifle.

Anyone can hand in a weapon before the end of the year without fear of being questioned or charged with illegal possession.

The Brazilian government said it would invest $3.3m in the scheme between now and December, with the original aim of taking 80,000 guns off the street. But police are said to expect a higher haul after the first week's results.

Rules tightened

The amnesty is the latest step in the government's attempt to reduce violent crime.

A law passed last December, which came into force earlier this month, banned the carrying of guns in public. It also tightened rules on gun permits and created a national firearms register, with strict penalties for owning an unregistered gun. A referendum will be held in 2005 on whether to ban gun sales outright.
