What kind of gun owner are you?

I'm an entusiast but hoping to be a gun nut someday

I put enthusiast but that's not saying a lot. Up until this year all I had was an 870 to hunt with. This year I bought a handgun. Now that I've found this site and seem to be getting a little more "into" guns my wife is wondering what is up. I think she thinks I'm becoming mentally unbalanced. She's the type that thinks there is something going on if you have a few more guns than you can use at any given time.

Gun Nut. I shoot more than "occasionally," and even when I'm not shooting, I'm thinking about, talking about, reading about, or working on guns. It's not a hobby, it's a lifestyle!

Seek professional help immediately!!!.....it's an addiction!

I'm an enthusiast trying to keep it from becoming an addiction. I already have one addiction (knives) and I can't afford another.

This is 100% correct for me as well. +rep incoming for pointing out what a lot of people don't understand.

Proof that it is all a matter of perspective. I talk to a Madison County Sheriff that thinks I am a gun NUT just because I like to shoot and reload. He doesn't like to shoot at all and only does when he has to qualify. I think he is a NUT.
