Police find small arsenal in Houston hotel room
« on: December 31, 2017, 04:38:54 PM »
Police reportedly find small arsenal, ammunition in downtown Houston hotel room. 1 rifle, 1 shotgun, 1 handgun, and some ammo. That's what is now considered by the media a small arsenal. By that definition I doubt anyone on here doesn't own at least an arsenal of guns. I have a few arsenals worth myself.

Sounds like anyone heading to a 3 gun match would meet those specifics.....

Heck, I met those specifics two weeks ago on an overnight Christmas shopping expedition.  ;D

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

And that's not even counting the backup guns in case the primary goes down!
Arsenal... ::)

That sounds kinda light for a trip to the mall.

I thought I was just prepared.  Now I find out I'm an arsenal.

Sheesh...

Dang...they would have pee'd down both legs if they would have stopped me driving to and from home for Christmas.  4 or 5 handguns and several rifles.

At the beach for a week.  An AR with 60 rds. A .357 with 50 rds. And a 9mm shield with 75rds.

Now if I were planning to do some shooting, there'd be at least 2 more guns and 250+ more rounds.

We may all have arsenals, but the media are all arseholes.

I feel like I'm on the winning team.

in 1995 we were returning from Fayetteville, NC from my first NC Tactical 3 gun Match (Kyle Lamb's)... my friend Mikey is a big guy and likes to drive with one hand on the center of the steering wheel, and tends to wander across the lane a little... so we get pulled over by a South Carolina State Trooper...Mikey shows him his military ID ( SF LTC retired) and comes to find out that the Trooper was previously SF enlisted... so we are by the side of the road putting on an impromptu SHOT show, with two additional SC Trooper showing up with the Troopers getting their first look at 4x32 ACOG and my holographic sight...short barreled Benelli and 1100, couple of custom 1911s....and a bazillion rounds of 5.56, 12ga, and .45... we didn't make the news, but the Troopers were shaking their heads a little

I know I am preaching to the choir but here goes anyway.

This crap really gets to me and it seems to be getting worse. Why is it, when listening to the news, no matter what the "crime" is, even when no crime is committed, they always have to bring up the number of firearms the "perp" has? (Redundant question) If someone is traveling between two sites and happens to have 200 firearms and is not in the act of committing a crime and is not a prohibited person what damn difference is it they have firearms with them?

I ALWAYS have at very least 2 firearms on me and at least one long gun (Pistol caliber carbine) and one shotgun in the car. Does that make me some sort of evil felon that needs to be publicly shamed for my actions?

Like a lot of us here I am getting older and my tolerance for stupidity from these nitwits is decreasing exponentially.
