I have a couple hundred once fired spent brass casings from a couple of firing range visits where I rented a .40 caliber handgun.  Now I feel that I NEED to pick out and buy a .40 caliber handgun so I can reload and shoot those spent casings I have.

Thursday, UPS will deliver 250 rounds of 8mm to my door.

I have no 8mm rifle.

However I fully plan to buy an 8mm rifle in the future, so I figured I would order ammo.

You wear various guns arund the house (concealed), and ask roommates if you're printing.

You think that the range is ideal for a first date "Hey, if she likes it she's worthwhile, and and if she doesn't, at least I had fun!"

You can name nearly every single gun ever used in any movie...and what modifications they've had to look 'Hollywoodized"...and if you can't, you search them out.

When out and about, first you scope out the exits, concealment and cover, and THEN you scope out the women.

I just bought out a fellow managers reloading equipment and supplies.  I got a massive amount of .308 brass in the deal.  I do not currently own a .308 firearm.  I have convinced the wife that having all that .308 brass ( and bullets btw) and no boom-stick for it is an abomination that must be rectified by my birthday next month.

Your a gun nut when the ups man is dropping ammo at your house almost daily.
Can't pass a gun store without going in.
Can't get to the gun safe cause there is ammo, reloading equipment in the way.
