I was goofing around on the net and found a page called You Might Be a Gun Nut if… and was highly amused by some of the items which sounded just like me. Among them the fact that when I walk on my floors I often find spent primers. Another joke is doing laundrey and finding old brass, which in my case ended up, um, being six rounds I pulled out of my wheelgun which got beat up rather bad but still fired.

Something else that was totally funny was, yes indeed, I have bought movies based on what gun was seen on the cover (Outlaw Justice, Fistful of Dollars..) and can tell the model and finish while forgetting soem of the plot and characters. I usually want to see how realistic their handling of the gun is, such as fanning, which is a joke on old revolvers.

Something they fail to mention is that I actually have more ability to repair BP revolvers than the local gun shop. I can repair springs and small parts that the owner cant find! They also missed the fact that I’m the guy they save historical relic arms for. The shop owner said last time “Hey Gene, we got a Harper’s Ferry and right away I thought of you. We have it in back.” That was before I decided to buy it. The guy knows that certain guns are money in his pocket when I come in so he will cut me a deal before I ask.

It worried me when they mentioned naming guns, and the term Melissa in our house refers to our home protection shotgun, and Little Mak is my personal weapon.

I dont know whether to laugh my butt off more or get rehab.
