    ....you know more about the people on INGO than you do about your neighbors of 9 years

    ....you search the house/garage/shed/cars weekly for stuff to sell or trade for more guns/ammo/accessories

    You might be a gun nut if you appraise the value of things in terms of rounds of ammunition rather than dollar value.

    scary how many of these apply to me. ha ha ha
    you know you like guns if....
    you have thought about building a new (or bigger) house just so you can build that dream concrete vaulted gun room in the basement.
    and
    with more property so you can build that dream 1000 yard range.

    you have to take a walk back through the sporting goods department of any store you go to that sells guns, ammo, and accessories whether you need anything or not...just browsing

    if someone is interested in purchasing a gun or ammo, you know the exact location of the nearest gun store and range (and all the rest in the area) and knowledge of what they carry.

    you get excited each month when your gun magazine arrives and you know what day it comes (within a couple of days)

    lots more...

    yes i am a gun nut!

    ...You spent more for you last gun than you did for your wife's engagement ring and are dumb enough to tell her that.

    ...You've been married for 27 years, yet still have trouble remembering your brother in law's name, but have no problem remembering the name of the wife of the guy behind the gun counter at your favorite gun store.

    You call the NRA and ask for your lifetime membership to be refunded so you can buy that next gotta have, and promise to renew at the yearly rate.

    If you (annoyingly) comment on guns as they appear in movies. "That gun doesn't make that sound" "Oh, that's a gen2 glock 17, see the lack of finger grooves... well, it could be a gen 2.5, but you get the idea..." "A .45 wouldn't have that trajectory" etc.

    Right here.
    You might be a gun nut if you can honestly say:

    "I got a new (fill in your favorite gun name) for my wife" "I'm probably going to miss her a bit"

    ...your old favorite movies are now hated because of the improper/incorrect firearm use/terminology.

    ...watching the military channel prompts a firearm cleaning session because holding your AR makes you feel a bit closer to the real heroes using the real thing.

    ...you forget a birthday present for your wife until after you've bought your new accessory.

    ...the birthday present is firearm-related and your wife doesn't even own a gun.

    ...you buy a carbine on impulse for no other reason than "my carry pistol is that caliber".

    ...you wear Wal-Mart clothes and boots but your EDC setup is filed with nothing but brand names.

    (One of the hardest for me)...you hate talking firearms with family and friends because they don't know proper terminology but they're the only ones who'll talk firearms with you because they're just noobs trying to learn and you seem smart enough to teach them.

    (The absolute hardest for me)...you hate using/hearing the word "gun" because of the negative connotation that the media gives it so you substitute "firearm" or "rifle/shotgun/pistol/revolver".You even do this in your head.
