Lets see...

You carry one to the bathroom with you.
You get a combat rifle out of the safe when you watch war movies.
You constantly point out every mistake in movies..."hey, he shot 9 times in a revolver without reloading!
Every new gun you buy becomes a constant companion and tbe old one goes in the safe.
Your wife says no to naming your newborn Ruger, HK, or Remington.
....removed last one as it might be in poor taste....

added...you refer to your kids as Gen1 Gen 2 Gen 3
Anyone have more suggestions of being too "gunny"?

By gunny behavior, I assume you are not referring to the strange things a US Marine E-7 might think to do. I say this because "gunny" is not capitalized as it should be when referring to the most beloved and strangest troops in the Corps.
 
Only thing I have not done from the OP list is refer to a mentally challenged person as .38 special. Everything else, I'm guilty of doing.
 
I was gunna say I had a friggin' instructor in NG SAFS kick, and I mean kick, my left elbow further under my rifle because he didn't think it was tucked in enough for prone. Man, I wanted beat the hell of of that a-hole and warned him if he ever pulled that kind of stuff with me again I would (try anyway).

But this is a thread about something else...
 
The word gunny might touch a nerve with some. Below is why:


The most extreme Gunney behavior I ever experienced was "Doc I'm gonna make an NCO out of you, or rip those crows off your dead body!" Any small amount of success in my life can be directly attributed to him.
Semper Fi
 
Making your 6-year old do 50 push-ups because his gig-line isn't straight when he gets dressed for kindergarten by himself in the morning!!

That's too extreme right there!

I guess I'm guilty of taking a firearm to the bathroom with me. It's a NAA mini, in a folding handle/holster. It's always on my belt, much as some would carry a knife.
 
RC, should you punish the kid with a bad gig line, or punish his roommates for letting him leave the room looking like that?

Does this count?
I invented a game today in the pool: my 13 year old hollers "PULL" and I throw the 7 year old up in the air past them as they cycle their pump guns at her going bang-bang-bang.
 
here's my version of "extreme" gun behavior in two parts...
The first was when I gave the few guns I had to my Dad -I was just back from VN in 1971 and figured that I'd use one with the slightest provocation (and I was never a combat troop -just a pencil pusher...)

The second was when I retired from law enforcement after 22 years down here in south Florida. Although a concealed carry permit was part of my leaving package I put my guns away and haven't carried (or even kept one in the house since then -1995). During my days on the street I carried 24-7 if I was awake... and in plain clothes always carried a 9 or 40cal on my ankle -the last seven years it was a Sig 228 or 29.... either in my duty gear or on my ankle (and I still have the veins on that ankle where the weapon was carried to this day....).

From always carrying to never carrying was a bit of a transition -but I haven't regretted the decision even once....

Are you kidding? You have them pretend to shoot a child? And you post about it on line? Someone from social services is undoubtedly enroute to your house by now.
 
You're at work in a LEO job, go to the bathroom, and decide sitting on the toilet is a fine place to field strip your Glock and blow the dust out of it.

I've seen it, well, heard it. :eek:

I think his game sounds like loads of fun, but I certainly wouldn't tell anybody about it.

Standing in Walmart with your last $10, mentally balancing, "pizza or ammo, pizza or ammo"

That's an easy decision to make. You better go get the pizza because you're not going to find any ammo for $10 even at WM. Heck, you probably won't find ammo there at any price.

You mean everyone doesn't do this? :D
 
Taking your gun into the can is not extreme - leaving it unattended while you dump would be irresponsible.

My extreme gun behaviors are:
I have a dress gun, meaning one that I wear with a suit.
There are places that I WILL NOT go because I cannot (legally) go there armed.
I refuse to do business with companies that are anti-2A
1000 rounds on hand is 'almost out of ammo'
I have sold things - things that I like - to buy guns
I have credit card debt from buying guns and ammo

And in the spirit of this post...
I have withdrawn from my friends and family to go shooting
I have lied to my family and friends about guns
I put on my gun first thing in the morning
Shooting calms me down
Gun forums are causing me problems at work
 
^^ I don't have a "dress gun", per se, but I have stood for lengthy periods agonizing over which gun to put on to "go with" what I'm wearing and my mood that day. I often find that, no matter which one I pick, I'll "miss" the other ones I considered.
 
When looking over your collection, trying to decide which ones to take to the range, you can actually hear them begging you to be taken along.
