Guilty, though I don't seem to do the second one anymore, or at least rarely do.

Plus:

You have a row of shell casings in a similar manner to the Cingular bars on your desk

You refuse to call it a "gun" unless it has a detachable magazine.
The sight of expensive over and unders makes you angry.

You watch action movies just to find the gun gaffes.
You wistfully read old issues of Shotgun News, just to kick yourself about the guns and ammo you SHOULD have bought.
...You know how to temporarily remove permanently attached parts of your guns.

...you know how to properly pronounce foreign names of guns and calibers/ammo - with the appropriate accent.

...you watch 'Saving Private Ryan' and 'The Thin Red Line' and wonder if you could get through it if you went back in time and got drafted.

...You don't play Counter-Strike and CoD4 because the parameters of the guns in the game 'aren't really like that in real life'.

...you've hunted dangerous game with underpowered guns just to see how much shot placement can really matter.

...you aim your gun at the TV for appropriate steadying techniques.

When you buy a gun the first thing you do it take it apart and put it back together for no real reason.

Actually sounds rather interesting though mostly illegal.

.22 LR vs. whitetail :D

Relatively common with poachers, as I understand.

You goddamned right.

You are asked how many guns you own, you have to think for a few minutes and your answer ends with "or so".

Lol. This.

Yeah, not too far off. We used to have a de-facto gun co-op. Probably the most oddball socialist thing I've ever done. There were times where I legitimately did not know how many guns I had in my house at one time. This is where logistics became a huge consideration for me too.

You've ever 'Tried this at home' even when you knew you shouldnt

This made me lol so hard...

Personally I prefer the term Firearms Afficianado.

You've ever felt like a kid in a candy store when you go into a gunshop. - Isn't that normal?

You have firearms that are strictly worn as coordinated clothing accesories. (Bauer copy of a Baby Browning, Nickle 8" S&W 29)

You've ever helped a customer at a sporting goods store you don't work at. - - Dumbass clerk in a K-Mart was going to sell a customer 22 LR for a 22 WMR gun, told him it would fit.

I actually like the very expensive O&U shotguns, I see them more as art pieces rather than guns though.

Please tell me one of you two alerted the manager to the dumbassery of the employee that could have led to the possible risk of serious injury to the customer(and thus legal liability to the store) to essure it never happened again. Or at the very least gave the employee a "You're a fucking moron you could have very well got someone killed!" lecture.
