If you own more guns than socks...

If you happen to look at the clock when it's 2:23, 3:03, 3:57, or 4:10 and smile...

If structural load-bearing strength and/or weight capacity of your ammunition storage area has ever been a concern...

You see a gun in a movie and excitedly tell the person next to you, "That's mine! I have that!" as if it's your own child starring in the film.

A guy comes to your door selling magazines, and you ask if he has any replacement springs.

You have named any of your children Kimber, CZ, Speer or Pachmyr.

Metal commodities prices will experience a noticeable drop if you sell the shell casings piling up in your garage.

You've ever repurposed one of those plastic cases that the gun first comes in to put other shock-sensitive items...cameras, laptops, your lunch, etc.

You've never stopped to consider that there are probably actual eagles - like birds, you know - that live in the desert.

You got a Tivo just to pause what you're watching on TV and get a better look at the guns and accessories being used, because you could swear some of those combinations would never work out in real life.

You use long guns as a standard unit of measurement when referencing a person's height.

When at a loss for noise-canceling headphones, you've ever put Apple iPod earbuds in your ears, then put a gun muffler on over it.

As you grow older, you realize you no longer fear death - you just look forward to the day when you can personally meet both John Browning and Charlton Heston!

Every gun you see in a movie or t.v. show you have to tell someone watching with you what it is or you have to tell them the mistakes that they have in the shows.

 

[khicks]

if you buy ammo for guns you do not own
when the local gun shops calls you, to ask advice about a gun a custumer wants
you can remember the pet names you give your guns but not your kids names
you know when evey store get there ammo shipments in

Lol to funny! I was watching the new rambo movie a little while back with friends and did this. I stop the move and backed it up to verify the sniper guy never flipped open the lense caps on his scope (rear one he did front he did not).

 

[KimberPB]

How about:

When, watching a movie, the good guy comes to a doorway and you start yelling "slice the pie... slice the pie..." Then just shake your head when he takes a deep breath and jumps into the room.

I was watching CSI one time when they were picking up some emptys. The officer looked at them and said they were 357 Glocks. I wonder is that a new round different from the 357 Sig? The gun that never runs out of ammo is always fun. Also in the older western movies it ws not uncommom to see someone fire the Colts with out cocking the hammer And sometimes they would look like they were throwing the revolver as they shot it.

Let's not forget that this is TV, not real life, so they do tend to make stuff up.

They could get it right if they really wanted to.

True

On a lighter note, you and I must really be gun enthusiasts to be quibbling over what they're doing right and wrong on TV. :biggrin:

You might be a gun enthusiast if, after cleaning your pistol, you clean and polish each round before putting in in the magazine. :tongue:
