Guns and Ammo Magazine:
You may have heard on the news about a southern California man that was put under 72-hour psychiatric observation when it was found that he owned 100 guns and allegedly had (by rough estimate) 1 million 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 million machine gun bullets." The headline referred to it as a
"massive weapons cache." BTW, I am dubious about the pile of ammunition boxes and cans that they showed. It looked big enough to contain no more than about 100,000 rounds, unless there was a lot of .22 rimfire ammo.
However, by southern California standards, even 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 Montana and Nevada . .. .he'd be called "The neighborhood 'Go-To'
guy."
In Idaho or Oregon, . . . he'd be called "a likely gubernatorial candidate."
And . . . in Wyoming or North Dakota, . . . he'd be called "an eligible bachelor."

In NW Florida he'd be called a "Safe House on the E&E Route" and a "trusted agent"

Re: Not really a joke
May not be a joke for some, around here I would hope it would be a fact. Although he is probably a stay at home type with no bug-out plan.

Wish California would outlaw spoons so we won't have to endure any more Roseannes or Rosie O'Donnels on the big screens.
