"You Might be a Gun Guy..."

[Green Lantern]

AT WORK:

....if you think that 13 and 40-dram prescription bottles OUGHT to come on stripper clips, for ease of loading into the "magazines" on a ScriptPro counting robot!

...if you call out "OUTTA AMMO!" or "GOTTA RELOAD!" when your cash register is low on change and/or receipt paper.

...if you realize that you're practicing good trigger control on the Telexon and/or cash register scanner

MISC

...if you have a hard time of thinking what you want for Christmas, but relatives are bugging you to make a list - "Just tell me what you want!" So, you give them a list of ammo you're low on!

Hmm - I think that's about all I had to share at the moment, will hopefully think of more!

if you call out "OUTTA AMMO!" or "GOTTA RELOAD!" when your cash register is low on change and/or receipt paper.

That's funny!
When I was a cashier years ago, I once told a coworker to "Cover me, I gotta reload!" when my cash register's receipt paper ran out!
I guess that definitly makes me a "gun guy", but I already knew that.

...if you realize that you're practicing good trigger control on the Telexon

ive realized this a few times. and noticed others at work doing it as well.

 

[mekender]

when you hear a car backfire on the street and you dont flinch, rather you look around to find out who you should yell at for discharging on a line that was supposed to be cold

 

[mnw42]

..IF you call staples, nails, etc. bullets

That's what I've told all my relatives I want for Christmas, heh.

...when you "holster" your cell phone after taking a call.

..when the grocery bags won't fit into the trunk of your car because it's full of target frames and sandbags.

 

[Chipperman]

...You index your finger when walking around with a spray bottle.

...You see different gun calibers and model types every time you look at a digital clock.

 

[frogomatic]

"...You see different gun calibers and model types every time you look at a digital clock."

oh so true

 

[Otahyoni]

...if you realize that you're practicing good trigger control on the Telexon

I do this every time i pick up anything with a "trigger" control. Drills, saws, guns.... I like to think its a good habit.

Thats about the only one so far that fits me. Does that still make me a "gun guy"?

 

[armoredman]

Whats a Telexon?

 

[Otahyoni]

Whats a Telexon?

If im thinking of the right thing, its a wireless bar code scanner.
Yes, i worked at Wal*Mart...in the TLE, and ours actually was express because of the crew i worked with, we cared about customer service and getting the job done quickly.

EDIT: ok, i had the wrong thing. We called ours Gemini's.

Its a handheld computer that can scan bar codes. It can be used to modify inventory, change prices, print price stickers(sends signal to a printer), and a few other things.

Good one.


If you think Hoppes #9 is a Love Potion...

If you think Hoppes #9 is a Love Potion...

It's not?

 

[Big Boomer]

Ok I got a good laugh from the wife when she asked what kind of paint we needed for the interior of the house...

The paint is SW6091...she said WHAT? I said it's SMITH & WESSON 6091 write it down!

She almost choked she was laughing so hard. Er don't you mean Sherwin Williams?

So everything S&W is now Smith & Wesson, I had gun on the brain lol

 

[Scanr]

This is my unit. I use one everyday at work.

 

[Mr White]

If you find yourself practicing proper muzzle discipline when using the portable barcode scanners, or if you want to give your coworkers hell for NOT practicing proper muzzle discipline when using the portable barcode scanners.

 

[Cannonball888]

...if you realize that you're using a modified weaver stance while using the Telexon and/or cash register scanner

 

[Otahyoni]

Scanr, that the same thing we used. And i used to jump on coworker for pointing them at each other. They mostly liked to try and blind each other with the laser.

 

[Green Lantern]

Scanr - that's the one we use too! I usually call it "the phaser."

I sometimes practice "shooting" at bottles with it, and tell by the laser how accurate I am!

 

[Avenger]

I caught myself thinking about putting Hogue slip-on grips on a scanner once. And I've developed a speed-load technique for the nailguns we use too.

 

[everallm]

When your watching the TV or a film and count the rounds as they're fired.....

 

[6_gunner]

When I use a drill or sawzall at work I find myself practicing proper trigger safety with 'em (probably a good idea anyway, especially with the sawzall ). Plus, changing battery packs=reloading.
I'm with ya on seeing calibers and model numbers everywhere, too.
Counting rounds on TV or movies is a given; I do it without thinking.

How about this one: The local gunshop is called McDonald's Guns. If I, any of my friends, or most of my coworkers refer to "McDonalds," then it's usually understood to mean the gunshop rather than the restaurant.

If you see "13 and 40 dram" you think "holy crap, I bet those things have a lot of recoil..."

 

[Pigspitter]

When your mom asks you what you want for christmas and you tell her an AK and she tells you "no more guns this year" and she asks you later and you tell her you want a Ruger 10/22 because "I'll let you shoot it too"
