SIGNS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A REC.GUNS CHRISTMAS

Wondering if an H&K MP5K will fit in your stocking.

Attempting to convince family that a progressive loading press really
is "the gift that keeps on giving."

Alphabetized Christmas-card list begins with "Ayoob, M."

Working up a recipe for "+P+ eggnog".

"Guns" and "Ammo" appear among your requested gifts--and we're not
talking a measly magazine subscription here.

Neckties available in wool, silk, polyester....What, no Kevlar?

This year's Christmas lights: Aimpoint red and Trijicon green.

Use finally found for distant relative's annual gift of fruitcake--in
your terminal-ballistics testing. ("Against bullets of conventional
design, it's roughly equivalent to Threat-Level II body armor.")

Q: "Honey, what's that cologne you like so much?" A: "Hoppe's #9."

Holiday dessert treats made with ballistic gelatin.

An annual concern: "If a fat old guy with a sleigh and eight
reindeer can penetrate my home's security perimeter undetected, what else
are we vulnerable to?"

Children stay up to await the approach of Santa's sleigh, watching the
skies through a 50x spotting scope.

Your tree's ornaments have all been NP3'd.

Realization that Santa Claus is not a Class III dealer forces a
drastic revision of your Christmas list.
