I have a problem

[sticky]

It's funny when it comes to "unfired" guns.  I used to laugh at guys that bought a gun (production, not commemorative) only to let it sit, but I picked up a little Winchester 12 gauge pump defense gun last year and I still have yet to shoot it.  Planned to plenty,  just hasn't happened.  Weird.

I completly understand. I am 24 and just bought my 9th pistol saturday and have 13 long guns. shot guns, muzzel loaders hunting rifles and assault rifels. can never have to many! I love my guns

They actually breed.  I'll leave a couple guns in the dark of my gun safe, and a month later I'll go an open it up and.....whoops, they bred and now there is a new gun in there

Boy do you have that right they are like rabbits and never stop breading. I went from a 12-gun safe to a 36 and bingo it was full; I think they are on welfare getting things for free.

My wife actually comes with be for final approval now. Apparently she did research and found out my 300 dollar gun came closer to 800. When I told her I found one for under 300 she didn't believe me. When she saw what I wanted she knew the 2 extra questions. "How much are you going to spend on stuff for it," and "how much is the ammo going to cost." She catches on quick!

When the spouse or significant other gets involved, it requires immediate action.  I recommend giving said female a new, relatively inexpensive hobby, such as scrapbooking.  When you buy a new gun, buy her a new set of scrapbook stuff.  "Thank you sweetie, what a surprise!  You are so considerate!"

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I think I may have the inverse "problem".  With my Wife working at Cabelas now, I think I may need to buy a bigger gun safe. I really like having these "problems." 

She is the one talking about buying more guns.

luckyyyyy!!!  I wish I had that problem...

Me too! Although I am starting to realize this problem can spread very rapidly. After a purchase of my first gun older than me I has a strong pull towards reloading and making my own bullet (that's right, casting and rolling my own!) I can only sit in anticipation of what symptoms develop after I do all of this.

I want to buy a new gun this weekend.  Hot flashes and then cold sweat.  I'm starting to go through withdrawal symptoms.  I need a fix.

My friends and neighbors always tell me I have a problem too.. its an addiction. obsession whatever you want to call it. Im 26, been shooting since I was 4. I have 16 guns in the safe right now, but i am constantly buying selling and trading. If I had never sold a gun I might have 100 in the safe. I almost bought a back-up bad weather rifle the other day with iron sights in .30-06, but I decided it would only cost me $50 more to build an AR upper in .300 blackout so that would be my bad weather backup plus its more fun to plink with than a bolt gun. I keep trying to figure out how to get more money to feed my habit lol. Hey but at least Im over 2yrs sober.. Quit one habit and get heavy into another I guess

I've done it again. Went to the gun show in Centralia and next thing I know there's a pretty lil Rem 7mm mag riding shotgun on the way home. 

It just kinda happened.

You all think that you have a problem with too many guns. Several years ago my son worked as a trapper at the Kenmore Gun range. There was a man that spent most of his time at the range that decided he wanted to move his residence from Lynnwood to Kingston. He hired my son to help him with the move. My wife and I went to assist our son on the project. When we started to load his guns into his car we were flabbergasted at the number of guns that he had. He had one of those old station wagons that were a city block long if you know what I mean and we put the back seat down and started loading the guns. When we finished the pile was up to the level of the windows. I have no idea how many guns he had. We spent 2 1/2 hours retrieving some of them from the attic. That was quite a project.
Good luck on all your efforts to increase your collections.

you guys need to have your wives watch alot of zombie movies...mine did and she recently told me i dont have enough guns and ammo...she doesnt need to tell me twice...shes going to regret saying that 

[wraithen]

My wife tried to buy the hornady zombie rounds  She never tells me I bought too much ammo. We can go through 650 rounds in a matter of a afternoon at the range. Just got her CPP so I think there's a 4th gun in the near future.

Wow. A station wagon full o'guns. That's a full blown addict there. I'm sure that a gun shrink would have a field day with that.
