You Might Be a Redneck Gun Nut If . . .

September 11, 2008 Phil Bourjaily

Let’s try something different here today. This will be the, “You might be a redneck gun nut” thread. We’re trying to come up with the most redneck thing we have ever seen on the range or in the field. If it’s not true, it has to be funny, and it has to top mine, which I actually saw at the range today....

You might be a redneck gun nut if:

• you use two 40-packs of Pampers instead of sandbags when you sight in your muzzleloader.

• Your sporting clay/trap/hunting shotgun is a Remington 11-48 you bought for $150 bucks 35 years ago.

• Your idea of an air freshener is Hoppe's No. 9.
• Your best hunting dog ever came from the Denver pound.
• You find that for bird hunting a $50 pair of jungle boots is better than a $200 pair of Danners.

• September 11, 2001 and December 7, 1941 still mean something to you.

• You're idea of a night out on the town is dinner and gun gawking at Bass Pro Shops

• You store all your valuables in gun cases

• Your idea of a locksmith is a 10 gauge

• You might be a redneck gun nut if you start running short of lead in your reloader and augment in a few corn kernels into your loads (witnessed).

• You frequently trim the trees around your house with 1-1/8 oz of #7-1/2 lead from you 12 ga. Charles Daly.

• 1. Your grandmother has 'ammo' on her Christmas list.
• 2. The birdfeeder in your yard has spinner plates, and 50 lbs. of corn.
• 3. Your lifetime goal is NRA "Life".
• 4. You can't burn the stumps in your yard, cause your wife doesn't want "lead in the house".
• 5. Your "home entertainment" is shooting dragonflies with a BB gun.
• 6. You come back from the "local range", with more empties than you shot...right, Dave?

• ...if you thought a 12 gauge would get rid of buzzards...until you dropped a few only to have 30 more show up in the backyard to eat them.

• You pull over to the side of the road after spotlighting a coyote, stick a gun out the window and notice a Sheriff's car behind you...

  You know your local Sheriff is a redneck when he walks up to your truck and asks you why the hell you didn't shoot...

  True story.

Can you top my dog spot?

This actually came to me via email as military humor.

You might be a firearms enthusiast of a thrifty nature if:

* You have a 5 gallon bucket of empty brass for calibers you do not (and have no plans to ever) own.

*You've taken to pimping your wife out to beg for wheel weights at the local tire shops because she's way more effective at it.

*You make it a point to get to the range early so you can mine the berm for lead.

*You generously offer to recycle all the sheet cardboard you can get your hands on at work - after it is filled with holes at the range.

*You get 2 lbs of W296 from your sister for Christmas...me.

[70th Division]

Your walk-in gun safe is as large is your master bedroom.

You frame your full auto permits with pride like a college degree.

[Notary Sojac]

Your wife calls to say that she hit a deer and totaled the car while driving the kids to school.

And the first words out of your mouth are "Buck or doe?"

[isaiah55version11_0]

You use spent shotgun shells as ornaments on the Christmas tree. (witnessed)

[the lastbestlady]

You get 1000 rounds of .44 magnum for Valentine’s day. (True, it happened to me)

[ottbmare]

Hey, my teenage children bought me a gift certificate for ammunition for Christmas! Isn’t that sweet? I was so proud of them for thinking of that.

[Daffynition]

[the lastbestlady]

I was pretty proud of my husband (then my boyfriend) for getting me the ammo. It was so heavy that I needed my brother’s help getting it into the house!! LOL

DISCLAIMER: I firmly oppose shooting dragonflies. They eat mosquitoes by the thousands.

[endthematrix]

* You have a 5 gallon bucket of empty brass for calibers you do not (and have no plans to ever) own.
