Oh My Gosh. Cleaning off the desk this morning. Filing away papers.
I've had to start a separate folder for Midway USA invoices !
To make matters worse my "wish list" on-line is only 2 pages long and totals $2K.....without shpping!
I don't know why I keep all the invoices.....maybe I have some "problem".
WAIT WAIT.. What's this? If I'd only bought one of these when they were new, then all my problems would have been solved.

FYI: For those who've never had the need, MidwayUSA has a fantastic on-line system where you can recall all your past invoices. So why do I keep all the paperwork again?

Good for you Alf. The first step is to admit you have an issue, and you have cleared that hurdle.
Now find an accountability friend, load the range bags, and blast away ;D
Why yes ... I am an enabler ... any other questions

The best way to treat a post-purchase "hangover" is to partake of the hair of the dog what bit 'ya. Buy 2 guns and call me in the morning... we'll go shooting. ;D

I'm working on the immersion technique. Works with a number of phobias I thought it might help here. I'm trying surround myself with as many firearms and ammo as possible in hopes I'll become over saturated and will be cured.
Check back with me just before I kick the bucket and I'll let you know how it worked out.
The new range I just joined allows one purchase at cost+$50 per year. Naturally I asked is that membership year or calendar year.

Hi, I can feed your addiction. If you need more guns you know where to find me.

WTF Alf???? A 2-page wish list and it's only $2000. What is up with that? This ain't no addiction, only a mere trifling. Try harder Alf, try harder!
;D

My dad always said quitting was for losers.
Some signs of gunaholicism.
1.I woke up with the smell of cosmoline on my breath the other day, and I went to work with it on me and my boss confronted me about it.
2. Cosmoline is used as aphrodiziac.
3. I feel that I cheated on one of my other firearms if I use one and not the others.
4. I cuddle my CETME and 870 after sex with my wife.
5. The gun store owner has filed a restraining order against me. I just looked but did not touch any of them. Maybe once.
6. I woke up in a pile of expended brass naked, and could not remember how I got there.
Hi I'm Bulldog75 and I have a gun-aholic problem.

You let your guns have sex with your wife? Damn, you DO have a problem!!!!

You'll need to clean them up with lots of Windex or lots of warm water immediately after that or they'll start to rust.

Hi Alf (http://www.feebleminds-gifs.com/smiley-faces-80.gif) my name is Sledge and I WANT TO BE A GUNAHOLIC.
I think I am well on the way as I have had to set up a secret account to hide my purchases from my wife, I lie tell untruths to my wife when she asks where I have been (gun shop, shed, range) etc. I do try to be fair and at least spend some time with my wife in the day if you factor in 24 hours in the day and 20+ firearms to divide in to the remaining 16 hours that leaves me just about enough time to see my wife on the way in to work in the morning, I make her catch the bus home in the afternoon so I can get home fiirst and spend some quality alone time with my girls though. ;D (by girls I mean my firearms not actualy kids, they are old enough to fend for themselves!!!)
I dont think I have a problem though, is this denial? :-\

Questions to ask someone that says that are NOT a gun-aholic:
Have you ever taken a gun case with a broom handle in it to a gun show and told your wife you might trade off a rifle or shotgun, and if you don't buy something do you ditch the broom handle to create the illusion you sold it to get the instant approval to purchase a replacement;
If ever asked by a significant other about your gun inventory, have you ever developed amnesia;
Is "Oh ... I've had that for years" a standard reply to any question as to "When did you get that one";
When someone tells you they came across a good deal on ammo and says they "Bought a whole brick of longrifles," do you spit your coffee across the table and say "Only a brick";
Ask a parent and claimed non gun-aholic to name their children in order of age (can't do it I bet) and then list all their guns starting with smallest caliber through highest including all details, and then to do it in reverse;
Ask them where the doctor, dentist and hospitals in town are, and then ask for all the gun shops in a 150 mile radius
How many of you are now confirmed gun-aholics ;D
-
............, is this denial?
Uh Denial? Denali? That's in Alaska. You're in Alaska?
I, of course, haven't done any of those sinful things the rest of you talk about and I could pass the m58's tests.
I remember the names of all my children and grand-children without prompting.....I just sometimes confuse which faces go with the names.
I can cite for you the birth dates and anniversaries of my children, grandchildren and in-laws .................I have a card in my wallet. (I don't remember my sister's birthday 'cause she's an only child.)
The wife LOVES bargains. She'll buy something we don't need just because it's 2 for 1. SO, all I do is say, "Honey, it's on sale," and she insists I buy multiple cases.
IF I REALLY NEED HELP, I'd turn to my best buddy............who is a shot-gunner and just admitted he is now buying shells by the PALLET!

I'm tw and a fellow-gunaholic, I participate in gun orgies, exploiting even my domesticated cat. They just have their way with me:

This old pic was before the "other" half of the gun safe joined in.... :P
and my wife is certainly NOT HELPING!!!!!! :-\
(http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm182/twyacht/227499_1228683847_medium.jpg)
I just try to go slow, save up, and accept the fact that I have a gun fetish, firearm fondling issues, and am a gun show groupie.
;D
disclaimer: not a pic of my wife,....but wondering if she is available :-*

Oh GREAT ! Thank TW. Now when someone does a net search on my name, this will pop up.

I'm gonna guess I was the inspiration for that particular one. Inasmuch as you were sitting in my living room and witnessed it. ;D
