THIS SHOULD BE THE MINIMUM PER HOUSEHOLD THROUGHOUT THE U.S.
You may have heard on the news about a southern California man put who was placed 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 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 Georgia and Virginia, he'd be called "the neighborhood 'Go-To' guy."
In Alabama, he'd be called "a likely gubernatorial candidate."
In Louisiana, he'd be called "an eligible bachelor."
In North Carolina, Mississippi and Texas he would be called "a deer hunting buddy."
And in Tennessee, he's just "Bubba" who's a little short on ammo.
