Are you a gun nut?

[LarryC]

I always considered the line on normal and nut to be drawn at reason. Do you spend your rent, bill money, money for your kids school supplies, and so on for firearms and firearms related supplies? Or do you spend that money on what it's meant for and use surplus funds for arms? I don't see how what you carry or the act thereof has any bearing on your nuts.

Well own my house so don't have rent, don't have many bills - don't owe on anything, so all we have are taxes, insurance, utilities and food. Kids are all raised so consider all my money as "surplus"! Yeah, I'm still a "gun nut" but love every minute of it!!

So do cops who carry guns ammo and rifles in their guns means they're gun nuts too?

False comparison. In that example firearms are an occupational requirement.

Due to an occupational choice.

You don't have to be nuts to like guns but it helps.

It is like collecting baseball cards but way more expensive!!! And I love it.

I want to see you put a hole in a target from fifty yards with your baseball cards.

Well, if by "XDs" you mean one XDs45 or XDs9, and you're intentionally leaving your other gun, a 1911, at home, then no, you're not a gun nut.


However, if by XDs you mean the plural of XD, and by the plural of XD you mean

in your trunk and

on your person, then you might be a gun nut.


On a side note, I went to visit my parents in Ohio Tues-Wed and took only my XDs45 and SR1911, but came home with several additional firearms and a couple thousand rounds of ammo and a supply of handloading equipment.

Pretty sure that you are not any more of a nut than most, but is "XD-o-phile" a word?

I was a gun nut (firearms enthusiast...whatever) before I joined the military...still am...

Those aren't mine!

I only have an XD40 Service, XD40 Subcompact, and an XDs45.


I scavenged those pics using google.

I'm working to having that. I'm getting her used to me carrying and why I carry. She things its more of a safety net, not a tool.

A friend at work got a laugh when, after he asked me "Just how many guns do you own?", I had to really think about it. He called me a gun nut.

Then I said, "Hey, I have more chisels than guns, nobody ever called me a chisel nut."

 

[Enkrypter]

They see us as this...

But then they wonder why we own guns...

I try to "invest" in at least 2-3 firearms per year. Firearms, if prevented to rust, never lose value and always appreciate in a crisis. Name one other commodity or currency on earth that hold the same properties that would prove more useful?

I can't name one battle in the history of the world where an attacking force was held off by gold bars and Rolex's.

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't...

So....in reality you are a chiseler.......

Last night my GF called me a Gun Nut. All because I'm going to Michigan, bringing my XDs and a couple of spare mags and some extra ammo. I mean hell there is a risk of bears.
I decided not to bring my Para 1911 because I open carry that only.

What makes someone a Gun Nut?

I here it's anyone who likes firearms but I don't believe everything I here.
