Gun Collector


You may have heard on the news about a southern California man put
under 72-hour psychiatric observation when it was found he owned 100
guns and allegedly had (by rough estimate) 100,000 rounds of
ammunition stored in his home. The house also featured a secret escape
tunnel.


My favorite quote from the dimwit television reporter: "Wow! He has
about a quarter million machine gun bullets." The headline referred to
it as a "massive weapons cache".


By southern California standards someone owning 100,000 rounds would
be called "mentally unstable". Just imagine if he lived elsewhere:


In Arizona , he'd be called "an avid gun collector".


In Texas , he'd be called "a novice gun collector".


In Utah , he'd be called "moderately well prepared", but they'd
probably reserve judgment until they made sure that he had a
corresponding quantity of stored food.


In Eastern WA , he'd be called "The neighborhood 'Go-To' guy".


In Idaho , he'd be called "a likely gubernatorial candidate".


In Wyoming , he'd be called "an eligible bachelor".


In Wisconsin , he'd be called "a deer hunting buddy".


And, in Georgia and nearby States (Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, West Virginia, the Carolina's & most of Florida & Virginia), they just call him "Bubba".
 
I have several times wondered what the headline would be if I got t-boned on the way to the range. I have had quite a few firearms and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in the trunk on more than one occasion. Heck, one new brick of .22 can be 500 or more rounds of ammo. Oh wait, it's worse. Cabella's just had a sale where if you bought a bunch of boxes of Federal bulk pack .22, you got a free plastic ammo can. 2100 rounds IIRC. Worked out to about 4 cents a round, so I bought 2. So I guess I must own a .22 machine gun or something, not a couple of plinking guns. Who'd'a thunk?

lol i bought 6 of those last time i was there and they were on sale. im getting ready to start a war with my 22 rifle. lol
 
Walked out of a show with 3 wood cases of .308 a few years back, nearly 6,000 rounds.....I think I have about 200 rounds remaining, the rest is downrange.

Non-shooters have no idea how much ammunition can be burned up in a year by just going out once a month.

It just seems so much more cost effective to buy the bigger boxes......

Flopsweat, when you have at least a half dozen each of handguns, rifles and shotguns along with a couple hundred rounds for each you're probably just headed out for a relaxing day at the range...;)

The media loves reloaders - we'll be listed as having several pounds of explosives and detonators.
The milkshake will be subject to special evil, "He was letting LEAD dust sift into a milkshake, a delicacy any child would love to drink, right out in the open!"

I guess I didn't think about all the different brands of powder I have. If empty brass is scary I'm really screwed. :D

It's never a bad time for a milkshake. Just ask Kelis.
