So when IS someone really a "gun nut"?

[Sorcerer]

You may be a gun nut when you need to have off sight storage for the over flow ammunition.

You may be a gun nut when you need to have off sight storage for the over flow ammunition.

Or when you have to look up the laws on ammo and powder max storage.

Wait... there is a max?

You may be a gun-nut when you need to have off sight storage for the over flow ammunition.

In the past I must have been a gun-nut per the above statement !!!

Now with everything stored here, I'm no longer classified as a gun-nut. Reloading-nut, maybe.

How about: every time you sell one to reduce the collection you buy two more to replace it? Or three. Or four.

in case anyone wants to see the law:

powder
https://www.revisor.mn.gov/rules/7500.3500/

primers
https://www.revisor.mn.gov/rules/7500.3600/

Found the primers interesting in that you can transport 25,000 in your passenger vehicle but can only have 10,000 stored in your house - leave the rest in the car??????

I would presume most folks exceed the law on storage.

Doesn’t speak to ammo. Unless primers count in loaded ammo?

Lumpy,

The Branas study that the more educated sounding poster references does not make any mention of whether the gun carriers they used in their study were legally carrying their firearm. Reading through the study you find mention of several participants who were the victims of robberies where they were targeted for drugs or money. Vicitms were also identified as being targeted for retaliatory shootings and resolving arguments between the victim and their "associates" and their attacker. So gangbangers were their "armed at the time of assault" participants. Nowhere do they identify any participant as having a permit and being legally armed. This lack seems to, logically, indicate they did not find any legally armed victims of violence to interview.

The study does not identify any armed permit holders who were attacked. I would say that using a study (from 12 years ago) of illegally armed persons(gangbangers) who felt emboldened by possession of a firearm as representing the majority of legally armed citizens is misleading at best.

Give 'em Hell.
