Am I the only weirdo?

[WAB]

My Ruger No 1 sat in front of the fireplace for a number of days after I placed the scope on it.

Yeah, and then you posted it on the ‘Pay it Forward for Free’ thread!!!

Yesterday it was my 7x61 Lefty! Helps my concentration!!

My walk in safe is beside my desk. It would be unusual for a firearm of some sort not to be at my desk during meetings.

Guns, guitars, books…lots of stuff to keep my mind off work…;-).

I’ve worked from home since 2017 so I’ve got lots of experience killing time during boring zoom meetings…

On the days when I don't have a rifle with me, I'll usually keep an empty 1911 on the table next to me; then cock and de-cock the hammer repeatedly until the meeting ends, as if I have some sort of OCD.

A walk-in safe, reminds me of that famous Heineken advertisement (horrible beer, but good ads). It's what dreams are made off. Currently on my renovation plans as well, albeit a tiny one.

Best played with volume on high:

Lol, I'm guilty of this all the time. Last night I had my Sauer 404 gently rubbing wax into the stock and admiring the wood grain while I was watching TV.

I guess I'd "odd" man out, but no I have NEVER done this nor has it ever crossed my mind !!

I suffer from the same issue. This is my desk buddy. LTT Elite

It's ok, we'll get you some help.

On days like today where I am doing mostly home office work, I often like to grab one of my hunting rifles and have it sit with me for the morning (or sometimes even the full day). It just gives me something to hold or play with while I'm listening in on conference calls and web meetings, so that I don't get too bored. Holding something like this in my hands actually helps me pay better attention to the call and capture more information. Or perhaps this is just an odd version of "Take Your Kid to Work" day. Am I the only weirdo like this?

PS - today's office companion, my FN 1952 in 270 Winchester, with a B&L Balvar 2.5-8x scope.

Perhaps we all are. But, that won't stop me....

It could get some interesting comments if you have a Zoom meeting

I'd worry more about that blue "office chair" than any gun

 

[Flewis]

My single action 45 colt and western rig was my computer gun. Also had lawnmower gun.

You boys need professional help...............FWB

here it is.

 

[schmijar]

I spend a lot of time badmouthing the internet in general, but times like these it sure can make a guy feel like maybe he's not as odd as he thought he was! Strangely comforting.

Bunch of sickies with your inappropriate touching!

This is sickness that I hope I never am required to be cured of!!

I have never been on a conference call or in a zoom meeting.

On the other hand I have walked off a job site to hunt the surrounding property more than I can remember, so theres that.

*sigh* I aspire to a walk-in someday...

Please for the love of your 1911 stop doing that. You will damage the sear. You can drop the hammer on an empty chamber, you can't drop the slide empty. Just a friendly PSA
