Something similar.

You throw the deep freezer out in the hot garage so you can put the gun safe in the spot the builder made for the deep freezer.

and on a different note:

You put all your bar glasses and liquor on top of the liquor cabinet so you can hide your ammo where the liquor was suppose to be.

I thought of two more today while I was at the range:

Your wife had to inform you that using CLP instead of baby oil on your newborn is unacceptable.

As you get older and your eyesight starts to go, you buy bigger-caliber guns so you can see the holes better.

I must admit that I am guilty of quite a few of these. Here are two more (also guilty of these):

1. You bend over to pick up any loose wheel weights you see in the parking lot to add to your lead stash for cast bullets... and carefully eye all the vehicles in the lot for any "loose" wheel weights :evil2:

2. You pick up range brass in a caliber you don't yet own because someday you might and you'll have reloading components. (I did this with .30-30 brass, but then I was in the market for a .30-30 at the time.)

Conversely, having any quantity of ammo in a caliber that you don't own a firearm is all the justification needed to buy a firearm in that caliber.

Done that twice. Once with 7.62 X 39, , but I was planning to buy an AK at the time. I also need to find a 12 gauge that will accept 3 1/2 inch shells (that one was a mistake).

Mine to add is when you pick up a 1911 from Academy while you are waiting to meet a guy to buy a gun.

Also, when you choose "Katygunnut" as your screen name.

when you keep a picture of a peppered B27 target in your wallet next to the pictures of your kids.

Oh, I do this all of the time. It drives my wife crazy when I tell her that the person shooting the wheel gun should be out of ammo.

"That's a Glock."
"that's a Sig."
"Oooh, he's got a 1911!"

"That .45 won't do him any good till it's cocked..."

I don't watch too many action flicks with the lady, but when we do :evil2:

That happened just the other night while watching criminal minds. In one scene he is holding a Sig and when the camera cut back to him he was holding a Glock. I pointed it out, and my wife went bonkers!
BUT...When we watch movies she is quick to point out mistakes in the court room. ZZzz ZZzz ZZzz

I can't watch medical shows. Being a paramedic, I see everythng they do wrong, and point it out. Drives my wife nuts.

That is what is called a compromise. :smilelol5:

From "To Kill a Mockingbird"
Atticus: Do you know what a compromise is?
Scout: Bendin' the law?
Atticus: Uh, no. It's an agreement reached by mutual consent.
Now, here's the way it works. You concede the necessity of goin' to school, we'll keep right on readin' the same every night, just as we always have. Is that a bargain?

I resemble way way too many of these :biggrinjester:

How about when you post the large bullet riddled target on which you qualified for your CHL on your bathroom door for several months just because you are so pleased with your score?
At least until one day you realized why your guests come out of there a bit white faced. "rlol"

This one just happen to me a few hours ago.
Wake up not feeling well. :eek6 The heart isn't feeling so hot. You go to the E.R. because your are thinking it is a heart attack. While you are laying there hooked to monitors and and getting an EKG, you are actually worried that this is going to mess up your plans of going to the range today.

They said I was have palpitations and I will be ok. Look out range here I come! :anamatedbanana
