I used to justify it by calling them "investments."Remember These days I don't think that works.

Perhaps we could be the charter members!

Good idea! I have pistols, couple rifles, heck I even have a pellet gun!! I have traded guns I never shot just to get something new.

I used to always want more, but now that I'm in the hundreds with my collection there are very few I REALLY want, and those usually are out of my price range, as in the thousands of dollars.

OP described me to a tee...only I don't have the funding...

I always told my wife that guns were just like money!

You will have to change that now, ammo is the gold market.

Weekly or bi-weekly meetings?

I used to be, then the terrible boating accident...I realized the cost of what was lost and decided not to put myself through the pain of it again. Add purple as you see fit.

I made the mistake of picking up a 1911, it only took once, now I'm addicted. It was a gate-way gun!

Addiction?? I prefer the term "never-ending craving".

Bought my first shotgun last summer, now I have 9 total with 2 on the way.

Weekly...bring trading stuff!

Does that count as rehab? Trading instead of buying...

I have one more long gun slot left in the vault, I already know what will fill it, hopefully within the next month!

Hello.

My name is Nick and i have GAS.

Ive had it for about 15 years now. It all started when my father gave me a simple pump air gun. After i pulled my first trigger i knew i was hooked. Its so bad now its causing problems in my marriage. I keep hearing the same thing over and over... "But you only have two hands!!!"

I know honey... I know. But i cant help myself!!!

My addiction is not just buying, but selling or trading them off to get something different. I am really bad with T/C barrels. My logs show 134 barrels in 17 years.

After getting a Sig (229/9mm) and shooting it, I've been infected by the Signess.

Now, I'm finding other brands interesting... it never stops!

And now you're at 50 posts so you can go the classifieds and relieve some GAS.

Unlike some have posted, my addiction does not allow me to sell them. I've sold one and still feel REALLY bad for doing it. I guess I'm addicted and loyal. Now that I think about it, I might have to have SAS (Safe Acquiring Syndrome) next. My only struggle with that is the money (time to convince the wife too) spent there could have meant more GUNS..... ahahah... vicious cycle and i love it...
