When you see the time on a clock (digital) and automatically convent it to a rifle calibre. I see 7:08 (7mm 08 most mornings) quite often see 2:04. Don’t often see 3:08. I guess that is because I have a 7mm 08 instead. Lately I’ve been seeing 3:38 quite a bit. Maybe the clock is trying to tell me something!

Wife: I know you would never have an affair. It would eat away at your gun time.

Yep, pretty much. That woman knows me too well.

I've already ordered enough stuff to completely fill up my recently purchased bigger safe... the safe that would be big enough to last me forever...and that was so recently that the safe itself hasn't turned up yet.

...when you start planning your meetings around the city, so the last meeting is in a building closest to a station. To go to the range after work :p

..You have to do the 180kms round-trip to town for groceries, and you arent sure if you should throw a rifle in; just in case you sight something along the way...

OR..

...You have been tasked the 400km round trip to your sisters property to 'dispose' of the latest batch of kittens (because everyone there are a bunch of wuusses), and you cant decide which rifles to take in addition to the .22 handgun...

Let's see...Just the .308 and the handgun, OR the .243 and the .308 and the handgun??
or maybe the 7mm-08 and the handgun?
or maybe the .30-30 and the .243 and the handgun??
Just how squirrelly does a 3-week old kitten get when he makes a run for it??
[Girl guides taught me; "Be Prepared!" ...and then kicked me out over some weird gender technicality!]

Besides; I'm not addicted! I can give it up ANY time!
[I just dont WANT to...]

You guys have converted me to the Lanox. I dont mind the smell of sheep. As far as preventative protection goes you can just tell its going to work better.

You are addicted to shooting when you've got your rifle down as next of kin

When you let this happen to a pizza you have in the oven because you're too busy prepping brass to load for the next day...

...when you're not even surprised, when you're putting your shoes on and get something sharp poking your foot. Upon inspection, a shard of bullet jacket.
