You only post about finding ammo and stalking the gun stores for ammo.

If you don't think it was funny when Homer Simpson went to buy a gun at Blood, Bath and Beyond as it was deadly insult to the RKBA.
 
You have to clean spent shell casings out of all of your pockets before putting your clothes in the wash and still find them rolling around in the dryer.
 
Sheesh, lighten up!

I thought it was funny after another dull day at school. Thanks for posting!
 
I thought it was really fun to read until I realized how many of the items referred to me.

thanks for lightening my day.
 
I can happily call myself a "gun nut". Thanks Leon for the laugh. I'll add one…If you have more guns than teeth, you might be a gun nut.
 
Haha! Definitely a few of these made me chuckle and most actually apply to me! Good post man!
 
How about Firearms aficionado?

Though gun nut is fine in my book as well. To many of those do apply to me as well, don't let the wife know.
 
Funny stuff. I'm not so distressed by the gun grabbers that I refuse to use joke terms either. We're winning that battle IMO. Why worry about how the gun grabbers react to a joke term? They're going to react to something no matter what.
 
Two other real gun nut diagnostics:

1. If you almost fall out of the window of your 2nd story bathroom because you slipped on the issue of Guns and Ammo you left by the john to read. Don't ask how I know.

2. You buy so much ammo for the apocalypse that when you store it upstairs, the ceiling starts to sag dangerously. Reported by a buddy.
