    Default FW: ...and in Texas

    An email I received today:


    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) 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”.

    By southern California standards someone even 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 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 Montana , 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".

    And, in Texas, he’d be called “a deer hunting buddy named Scooter”.
    “Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    The most important thing to be learned from those who demand "Equality For All" is that all are not equal...

    Choosing to live in California would be a sign of possible mental illness if you ask me.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    "Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.

    A World Without Guns <- Great Read!

    I can't seem to find it, due to not being a Google-Fu master, but I do recall there being some sort of ammo restriction in CO.
    No more than XXXX number of rounds.

    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.

    no restrictions on quantity you just have to store it a special way when it reaches a certain weight
