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

By California standards, someone owning 100,000 rounds is considered "mentally unstable.

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

In Arkansas, 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 Kansas, he'd be "A guy down the road you would want to have for a friend.

In Wyoming or Montana, he'd be called "The neighborhood 'Go-To' guy.

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

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

In North Carolina, Virginia, WV, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, Alabama, Minnesota, and Louisiana, he would be called "a deer huntin' buddy.

In Hawaii, New York, Illinois, and New Jersey, he would be called a terrorist

AND OF COURSE In Texas, he'd just be "Bubba; who's a little short on Ammo."

 

[Ivan the Butcher]

I qualify! for all the above.

But the most important tags would be:

6 young people call me Grandpa!

My wife calls me hon.

and at Church, I'm just another guy!

 

[Doug627]

In Ohio he would be called "Sir."

I haven't quite reached "terrorist" yet but I'm working on it.

Ha Ha , you forgot Florida . I would say we would fit somewhere in the middle . Myself , I would be in the lockup with that poor soul if I lived in Cali . Lucky for me I don't , and I fit right in with the rest of the "Bubbas" in the great state that's south of Georgia .

 

[Golddollar]

I'd hate to think what I'd be called in Maryland. Glad to be a refugee.

 

[snuffy51]

Maybe having that much stuff could could be considered "enough" , for now???

There were other states mentioned, but they might not have got by the rules.

 

[Mule Packer]

I live in Utah, and according to that, I'm "moderately well prepared." Yep. I can go along with that.

I now live in Calif. & fixing to move.

I now live in Calif. & fixing to move.

Rural California is some of the most beautiful real estate that I will ever see; however, decades of arguing with their officious and insatiable taxing authorities (not too mention their Stalinist gun laws) will keep me from doing more than visiting the People's Democratic Republic of California.

I don't have 100 guns or 100,000 rounds of ammo.

I know a guy who 3 years ago he had over 300 guns and a HUGE stash of ammo. He has an impeccable handgun collection. I'd guess about 90% of the handguns are S&W.

He sold about 100 of them, doubles and the ones he just didn't "need" a few years back.

I feel sorry for those who live in CA and for reasons they can't move out. I don't even like entering the state myself ad I know there are lots of good folks who live there.

 

[pharmer]

Anyone who isn't replacing "depleted stores" while available and relatively cheap should also qualify for an "examination." Joe

The secret escape tunnel is what I still need to work on.

 

[CAJUNLAWYER]

The secret escape tunnel is a nice touch.
When I see a story about the huge stash of ammo (like over 500 rounds) and an arsenal of firearms (6-7) I think to myself "Uh oh"

In my neck of the woods..........

He'd be the guy with the progressive loader.

One hundred firearms.....Long Term Investor

Escape tunnel......A Hogan's Heroes fan.

I live at my escape tunnel (not an actual tunnel)! Over 100 miles to nearest interstate, 90+ miles to nearest Wal-Mart, 3/4 mile to paved road, 160 miles to largest city ( around 60K people), between two water sources, nearest neighbor 600 yards (too close), government land on two (2) sides! memtb

Fortunately, my military service included an assignment of a few months working in a real "arsenal". Hundreds of thousands of small arms, over 100 different types from dozens of different countries around the world, all used regularly for training and familiarization by soldiers from the US and allied nations. No shortages of ammo either, but that was stored separately in locked bunkers guarded by armed soldiers.

If it was made for military use from WW1 to Vietnam era I probably got to play with it, shoot it, clean it, figure out how to disassemble and reassemble it.

My piddly little gun safes don't even begin to compare. My ammo supply doesn't even come close (and I still have to share with the grandkids).

 

[Bro. Dave]

We have a young couple with two young children living next door to us. Their "escape tunnel" comes to our house. When the husband is gone and the wife hears a scary noise, she calls me. I'm just the closest Bubba.

I'm sure my modest accumulation of firearms and ammo would be described as an arsenal in the media, but to me, I'm just trying to catch up.
