While watching my screen saver the other day, which is just family pictures and guns, Trooper John noted that he was worried about me.  Scared that I might be a “gun nut”. 

Well……

While at Physical Therapy the other day I picked up a copy of Field and Stream, not something I usually do, not that I don’t like Field and Stream, its just not on my list of normal reading. It seems to me to be geared to the yuppie crowd of outdoor hunters and fishermen. That’s just my opinion.

They had a short article in that issue of how to know if you’re a gun nut. It’s pretty good but a bit yuppie for me. Anyway, I adapted the list to fit my own criteria of how you know you’re a gun nut.

You know you’re a gun nut when:* You go to a gun show and you’re afraid you will see an old gun you owned and bust into tears * Hulls and brass on the ground are money to you, not litter. You pick them up even if they are not a caliber you own. * You miss your old hunting dog more than you miss your old school friends * There are only two things that are more fun than a good argument about knock down power or cartridges, and they are both not legal. * There are three men’s hands you would like to shake but cant: John Moses Browning, Charlton Heston and Gunny Sgt Carlos Hathcock. * You wonder why there is nobody like Elmer Keith anymore. * Quigley Down Under is the most awesome gun movie ever made * Used guns are a fine thing: They have a past. They are often good deals and someone has already put the first scratch on them. * You are old enough to remember when you were a kid you took your guns to school and it was considered normal. * You wonder if your grandkids will take as good a care of your guns when your gone as you have taken care of your grandpa’s guns. * Whenever you stop at any gun store, you always buy a box of ammo even if you don’t need it, “just in-case”. * When someone tells you you’re missing a target, you nod politely. If they tell you why you’re missing, you listen carefully. * You try Herb Parson style shots when nobody is looking, with your favorite shotgun. * Guns can’t love you back, but they never complain either. * You never have too many guns!

Ok Trooper John, you got me…………..I am a Gun Nut!
