Wut?

Nothing wrong with that. the .270 is a very good and popular rifle round. The chances of you getting into a situation to use one is likely. Like in your case buying a rifle chambered in it or just out shooting with a friend with one.

Does it count if I recently bought a box of .380's because I forgot I sold the pistol for it to a friend two years ago?

If you are cleaning the house and find a gun that you put away as a back up and forgot you had it and bought another one to go with the ammo for the lost gun. i.e. my brother.

Hmm, how about; If you use a 12 gauge single-barrel shotgun, and have plenty of ammo with it, to dig a hole for a new mail box... I kid you not, that one goes to my brother, who I often wonder, if he's just really stupid, or just really ingenious.

I guess I am a gun nut. Oh, and guess what MSNBC, CNN, etc., I've never shot anyone because I went on a psycho gun nut rage!!

I do believe this part needs a little work:

I still have several hundred rounds of 10mm, from when I used to own a Delta Elite. I sold the gun about 10 years ago, but have kept hold of the ammo because I fully intend on owning another 10mm sometime in the future...

I'm guilty of atleast a quarter of these... all I own is 9mils, yet I have a case of .45acp cause it was a great deal at a gun show (the third one I went to that month) AND so id have it for my first 1911 purchase... my son can field strip and clean all the guns I own, I have read magazines with hot girls in them and failed to notice the women for the custom firearms they're holding... etc...

And yet, as a gun nut, I've yet to viciously murder anyone... i'd feel safer around most LAC gun owners, than being in a crowd of unarmed sheeples...

Ridiculous. Anyone could see that her eyes are a 5 to 1 mix of Duracoat Bengal Brown and Black Oxide, with flecks of German Flecktarn Dark Green. Duh.

My problem is I have some 25-20, and some 16 ga shot shells, and I'll probably never see another weapon available to shoot them.

Then Of Course There's Girls and Guns..

You might be a gun nut if....

When you check out females you see them more in gun caliber terms than otherwise.

38's.. small but easy to handle. :)

40's.. quite a handful, but with a little practice most guys are up to the job. ;)

44's.. if you're going to go B I G, you might as well have fun doing it!! :cool:

I have 1250 rounds of 7.62x25. I do not own a weapon in that calibre, but eventually I guess. I have a bunch of colt GI .45 mags. No weapon. Still thinking about a 45, but its been thirty years since I have had one. Go figure
