You Might Be A Gun Nut If...

Post by Baldrick314 » 11 Dec 2014, 8:47 pm

Got this idea from a thread on another website but let's see what you guys come up with. What are the little things you do that make you a gun nut?

I practice correct trigger/ muzzle discipline with the scan guns at work

I find myself exhaling, closing my left eye, stopping breathing and making a "kaboom"noise, all the time when I am at the zoo. Particularly when I am in the African section.
It happens in the traffic from time to time also.
Now that's been said, who's coming for a shot?

You always put the trigger on your 18v drill to safety without realising.

You've got x hairs drawn on your glasses and are always squinting through 1 eye when posting on the forum or maybe you have a pair of Weatherby eyebrows...
