Funny ain't it? Most of us would have an armory in our home according to the media!

They would have had a fit when my future son-in-law and i went to the range 2 weeks ago. We both had new pistols to break in and between the 2 of us we had almost 500 rounds of ammo...
Somewhere, Darwin is crying...

Just remember, the largest mass murder in US history was committed with box cutters...

LOL quick range trip then? :mrgreen:

I know the feeling though - whenever I go to the range I'm *far* better armed and have *way* more ammo than the guy in the article. But it's when my son and I go to run the rifle range for our church teen camps or especially when the whole clan goes to family camp that I have to laugh at the though of being stopped... Since I run the range and hold rifle and pistol marksmanship clinics and competitions our typical load out for camp is something like a dozen long guns and about that many handguns *on top of* our carry pieces. Plus ammo. Lots and lots of ammo...

I imagine it would go something like this if we were pulled over (well, that is if I were inclined to answer probative questions from law enforcement...):

<As officer reaches window>
Me: Officer, I have a license and am carrying today.
Wife: Officer, I have a license and am carrying too.
Son 1: Officer, I also have a license and am carrying today.
Son 2: Officer, I'm carrying too, and I also have a license.

Officer: Seriously? All of you? You've gotta be kidding me. OK, where are you carrying?

Me: Right hip and left pocket
Wife: Guess! LOL
Me: Really dear? Just tell him OK?
Wife: If I must. Right hip.
Me: And?
Wife: Fine. Make me tell all my secrets. *And* left thigh.
Son 1: Right hip and ankle
Son 2: Appendix

Officer: <Rolling eyes> Just one, kid?

Son 2: Yeah, I'm still saving up for my BUG.

Officer: BUG?

Son 2: Back Up Gun, what else? Sheesh.
Me: Son...
Son 2: Sorry dad. Sorry officer.

Officer: Is that all the guns you have in the car today?

Me: Well, no... I've got 5 .22 rifles in the back and
Son 1: Don't forget the .22 bolt action dad!
Me: Oh right, *6* .22 rifles in the back, a couple of ARs, an AK, an SKS, a 12 gauge
Son 2: *Two* 12 gauges dad, I brought mine too, remember?

Officer: I meant handguns

Me: Gotcha, thanks for the reminder: 3... no, *4* 9mm pistols, 4 .22 pistols, a 357, a 44 mag, and a couple of .45s in the stow & go.
Me: Hon, did you bring your dad's .38?
Wife: No, not this year dear.
Me: OK, that's it then.

Officer: <sarc>That's it?</sarc> Are you *sure*?

Me: Well, no, I mean I think that's it, but I could have missed something.

Officer: So what, you a gun dealer or something?

Me: No, nothing like that. Just going to camp.

Officer: Camp?

Me: Yeah, church camp.

Officer: *Church* camp? Right, sure. Sir, please step out of the vehicle...
