View From The Porch: You know you're a gun nut when...

You know you're a gun nut when...

...you realize that you have close to 1,000 rounds of .32ACP on hand...

...150+ of which are jacketed hollow points.

I am totally ready for the uprising of the midget zombies.

PA State Cop said...: Ya know your a gun nut when you buy ammo for somethin' you ain't even got yet. In my case Clipped 8MM and 7,62 Russian. ;); 8:38 PM, March 24, 2010
TBeck said...: At the last gun show I attended I saw a box of Buffalo Bore .32 ACP +P. If a person can handle the recoil and muzzle blast, it's got REAL stopping power!; 8:39 PM, March 24, 2010

Hat Trick said...: Ya know you're a gun nut when you're still holding onto a 1,000 rounds of once-fired 9x18 brass plus the reloading dies seven years after you sold your Makarov after being laid off.; 8:54 PM, March 24, 2010
Fred said...: I was looking for one of my many backpacks (yet another sign) and came across 160 rounds of 7.62x39 I forgot I had, and 75 rounds of 12 gauge... which is actually great, I have a newbie that wants to try an AK this weekend.; 9:01 PM, March 24, 2010
netfotoj said...: at least my .32 is a .327 Magnum. But my son carries a Llama .32 ACP. You know you've failed as a dad when...; 9:02 PM, March 24, 2010
Jay G said...: I've only got about 300 rounds of .32ACP.

Of course, I don't have a gun chambered in .32ACP, but still, I *might* someday...; 9:30 PM, March 24, 2010

Zombie movies are unbearable to watch because of the basic tactical errors. There's no frightening suspense, just a lot of yelling at the TV, "Drop the mouse and look around. Don't shoot zombies stuck behind a fence on full auto. Gaaah!" The only thing more dreadful would be Michael Bay directing WW-Z.; 10:04 PM, March 24, 2010

Jason said...: Sure, that might work for midget zombies...

but what about clown midget zombies?; 11:32 PM, March 24, 2010
Chronos said...: geez i need more ammo... cant be left out... i want to kill midget zombies too!; 12:39 AM, March 25, 2010
Jeff said...: How depressing. I freaked out last week when I realized that I was down to one case of .45acp. I've got a couple months before the next fun show too.; 4:30 AM, March 25, 2010
staghounds said...: So I thought I'd start moving through the town library's DVDs in alphabetical order, and take everything I "always meant to see". And load up a bunch of ammunition while watching.

(Yes, I know, focus on reloading- but case sizing, priming, putting bullets in necks, and seating are feel only tasks really.)

What are the first three movies?

The Brave One, Bot in the Striped Pajamas, and Hotel Rwanda.

YKYAGNW when you watch random three movies in a row thinking, "If the people in these movies could have done what I'm doing right now, there wouldn't have been movies made about them."

Grafs is delivering me some currency hopefully tomorrow.; 9:20 AM, March 25, 2010
Anonymous said...: Am I the only reader who first saw that as "...1,000 POUNDS..."?

That, gentle readers, is a pile of ammo. Even .32ACP popgun ammo.

Like I remarked to Bobbi over dinner the other day, people can make fun of .32ACP all they want, but what other caliber has killed ten million people with only two shots?; 9:41 AM, March 25, 2010
theirritablearchitect said...: .32ACP, known everywhere else as the 7.62 Browning.

I think you'd be more ready for the Commie Midget Zombie uprising.;); 10:26 AM, March 25, 2010
Tam said...: 7,65 Browning. :); 10:27 AM, March 25, 2010
staghounds said...: Actually only one shot, killing Sophie Chotek wouldn't have been seen as a problem.; 11:38 AM, March 25, 2010
Anonymous said...: I haven't owned a .32 since that wonderful day the ex- left and took my guns with her. I was so glad to see her go I didn't even miss my guns!!

The lightest caliber I will carry today is 9mm, now that Ambulance Driver introduced me to the Taurus 709 (790?) the Slim.

jesperskibbey said...: Tam,

If it serves my memory, .32 ACP is also believed to be the round that Hitler chose as his ticket out. There has to be a Nazi midget zombie dictator joke in there somewhere...; 3:23 PM, March 25, 2010
Unknown said...: I have close to 1,000 rounds of .32ACP also, but I think they're all FMJ. If I get attacked by 1,000 Austro-Hungarian archdukes/Nazi dictators, I'm all set! Clown midget zombies might present a problem, though.; 7:50 PM, March 25, 2010
