...that 'clunk-clunk...clunk' as the clothesdryer is due to the empty brass cases you didn't clean out of your pockets after the match.

The wife keeps a can by the washer to put the brass in after washing laundry..... they dont come as clean as the dillon gets them though....

This wife moves the empty brass and live rounds from one pocket to another without a thought to putting them in the bin for reloading. Wakal goes like this, :rolleyes: and calls me a freak.

The looks I get at work are just about priceless. The conversation goes something like this...

Co-worker looking at my hand full of brass, "Uhmm, Liota..."

Me, looking at her or him, "What?!? They're not loaded. They're harmless."

If the brass is reasonably clean, it can be used to finish off a tube of primers at the reloading bench in a pinch. I've been known to clean out my range bag looking for ONE more piece of brass to finish off a tube of primers.

Having your Mom pound on your door at 3 AM because the sound of the timer was waking her up. (Guilty).

When you start air gunning anyplace, but don't realize it until your girlfriend tells you you are. (Guilty again).

You start laughing hysterically whenever you see someone with the "holding a tea cup" grip on their gun in a movie. (Guilty thrice).

or when even panning past a gun in a movie they make the required racking sounds.

or when a bad guy draws a gun, that's a little bit of a threat.....but if they thumb cock the hammer, now they are serious. And a gun without a mag is no threat at all.

or giggle watching some supposed toughy the tough guy in a movie shuffling along like Frankenstien with a club foot in weaver, looking ever so stern instead of something alittle more fluid.

When you see something shiny on the ground and check it out. You pass it by

because it's a dime and not a piece of brass.

You receive an add from the phone company and you try to visualize

how "Unlimited Long Distance" would feel, over the sights on your gun.

You wonder how many scoops of powder are needed to load the coffee maker.

You claim you bought the reloading equipment to save money and suddenly

find you're practicing every night and attending every shoot within a

days driving distance.

When the last fight you and your wife had was cause you gave her a

PROCEDURAL on stage four.

You keep 1000 rounds of your favorite ammo

loaded at all times and your gun cart by the door in case someone

mentions, on short notice, a shoot anywhere within a days drive.

When your paycheck is direct deposit to your gun store.

When there's more steel in the gun safe than the family car.

When a matched pair of 38's isn't a sexist comment!

When your monthly reloadin' bill exceeds you grocery bill.

You make an attempt to draw your gun when the microwave goes off.

You get upset when A: your gun isnt there, or B: because the RO didnt say "shooter ready".

Your wife/husband stars sleeping on the couch because your dry firing wakes them up.

Your wife/husband can sleep soundly through your dryfiring.

Dry firing doesnt wake your newborn.

When your cell phone rings, and its the wife asking where you are. You

answer; "I'm at a bar drink'n beer and look'n at neck'ed women.

The wife is quiet fer a moment, then says; you're at the gun shop aren't

you?!

Your 4-year-old daughter has taken to identifying the guns in movies.

When a woman checks her ammo, before her makeup.

When a romantic date is going out to shoot, and you let her win.

when you don't know the plot of the movie but

you can tell every gun used in it!

When an advertisement with a graphic looking straight down the barrel of a

firearm makes you yell (outloud or silently) "Muzzle!"

You would rather reload than watch Monday Night Football.

When you watch a shootout on t.v. and award proceedurals.

And keep count of the misses on your fingers.

All other social activities must fall on non-shoot weekends.

When no one bothers to ask you what your doing this weekend, they just know.

You refuse to watch certian movies because the gun handling was just plain wrong.

When you start air gunning anyplace, but don't realize it until your girlfriend tells you you are. (Guilty again).

If I had a nickle for every time he's done this . . .

Hmmm - these all fit perfectly. Especially the fighting one :) Guess we're addicted!
