Sounds about right
I would only add that you might be a gun nut if you find guns in your safes that you do not recall buying in the past. All the best...

I resemble a few of those. I don`t own a gun safe, but I could put several of them in my vault if I ever got them, them would be safe there. I have lost count of the tool heads I have for my 550 Dillon and I have a better slection of powder on hand than alot of gun shops I`ve been in. I load rifle ammo from 17 AH to 411 Hawk and handgun ammo from 38 SP to 500 S&W. I do have several wildcats, and even finished the chamber on the last one, but I`m not a gun nut, I just like gun.

Now I know someone had a number in mind, but really, how many do you get to say yep to before you are a gun nut, huh? Can't be just one, naw, can't be.
There are a couple missing: You fill out a gun survey at an event and folks recognize the sheet as yours, by the answers, and an onlooker says things like "REALLY" to answers about how many or what kind on the survey. You find guns in a safe, that you do not recall ever buying or where they came from. It is like Christmas, just a tiny bit worrisome. Ed

When you find a deal on ammo, but pass because you don't own that caliber only to have a buddy remind you before you get out the door that you actually DO own that particular caliber......
Just saying. GoodOlBoy
