Okay, I just selected the ones that apply to me.
...you cannot recall how many firearms you own.
...you buy a gun at a shop only to find out you used to own it a couple of years ago. (Note: This one does NOT apply to me, because it implies having sold a gun. What madness!)
...you ever clean a gun that hasn't been shot in the week since you cleaned it last.
...your drive to work is filled with reverie about why Ed's Red actually works. (Bonus points for Ed's Red!)
...you ever bought ammo in a caliber for which you have no gun, because you thought some day you MIGHT get a gun in that caliber. (Got some 7.62x25 just waiting on a Cz-52 or Tokarev)
...you have more than one gun that "kills on both ends." (Mosin-Nagant M44 (7.62x54R), Steyr M95/34 (8x56R), Winchester 1300 Defender (18", 2-3/4" 12 gauge).)
...you keep a loaded gun hidden in every room in the house, including the bathroom and kitchen, "just in case," and then keep one on you at all times just in case someone breaks in while you're in the hallway. (We call that "preparation")
...you consider it unpatriotic not to own at least one .45 and one .22.
...you tape American Shooter so you can pause, reverse and fast forward to do a complete analysis of the show. (TiVo rocks!)
...you ever bought two brands of the same weight and type of bullet, just to see if one "shot better." ( ....and?)
...you take your wife on vacation to a gun show for your 10th Anniversary and she is as excited to go as you are. (It was the 2nd!)
...you ever had to explain, "It's NOT the same gun, it's a variation!" (I don't have to explain. See the 10th Anniversary response.)
...if you make $30 per hour at work, but spend 30 minutes on your knees at the range looking for that last piece of .40 S&W brass (It's 9x18. Ejection is "vigorous".)
...you have more GI ammo cans than the local Army Reserve unit ( ....and you've broken a toe on one of them going to the bathroom in the middle of the night)
...you have more guns than some third-world countries
...you think John Moses Browning's birthday should be a national holiday (January 21 is a great day to burn up several hundred rounds of .45 ACP)
...you have 5 pairs of earmuff hearing protectors and shooting glasses in every lens color ever made (You never know when friends will want to go to the range.)
...you give your mailman and paper delivery people gift certificates from a gun shop for Christmas (You feel obliged to give the UPS driver a hernia truss.)
...you ever shot propane tanks to see 'em burn.
...you found that if you sold all your gun stuff, you could by a Rolls Royce - - for cash. ("Sell"? Does not compute... )
...your dream home would have a 100 foot indoor range in the basement. (And a 1,000 yard range off the back porch.)
...you have burn scars from hot brass hitting you
...you take your hat off and hold it over your heart when anybody mentions Oliver Winchester, Sam Colt, John M. Browning or either of the Maxims
...you get misty-eyed when you sell a gun (What is this "sell" word that keeps getting mentioned?)
...you go to a gun show and contemplate buying a particular gun for a half an hour before you remember that you already have that one (But the price is right, so you get it anyway.)
...you even had the thought, "I wonder what scale little kids Animal Crackers are, compared to Regulation silhouettes?" (Guilty!
)
...you shoot enough Berdan-primed ammo that you are on a first-name basis with your local scrap metal dealer (...or you own a Berdan decapper and know how to use it!)
...your gun collection is worth more than your automobile (Don't be impressed. I drive a 1982 GMC.)
...you live in that serious part of the country where deer season is a recognized holiday (I went to school where Opening Day was a school holiday. Might as well... nobody would show up anyway!)
...when you hear or see the numbers 221 you automatically think "fireball," 257 you think "Roberts," 218 "Bee," 45-70 "government," etc., and can't stop (Or you regret that your credit card that expired "3/03" is no longer valid.)
...your gun safe cost more than your dining room set (Garage sale table, retail safe.)
...your teenage daughter's next date is introduced to you while you're sitting at the loading bench cleaning your M-1 (It was my .45, and my wife was cleaning her .38... We didn't need to elaborate on "Rules for dating my daughter".)
...your wife says to buy a gun she would like you to sell one first ("Sell"? No, but "More storage, then more guns!" comes to mind.)
...you homeschool and use ballistic tables for math lessons
...you measure things in MOA ("WORM")
...you homeowners insurance company would cancel your policy if they ever knew any of the following:
(1) the true value of your firearms
(2) how much ammunition you have stored at home
(3) how much gun powder you have stored
(4) how many primers you have.
(Don't ask, don't tell!)
...you have photographs of your firearms in the same album as your kids. (iPhoto.)
.... and then I figured list was getting too long, even though I could have included every entry from my cruffling pal Norm Balog.

Here's a new one...
"...if you are ever afraid to vacumn in the reloading room for fear of the beater-bar setting off the many primers dropped on in the carpet."
Yes, this was great fun for my Dad when he converted a spare bedroom in the house for his "reloading" projects...
And the cleaning ladies learned real quick that this was not something you do in there...
