Bullet Hoarding and Guns

[Elbert Chamblee]

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 (by rough estimate) 100,000 rounds of ammunition stored in his home. The house also featured a secret escape tunnel.
By Southern California standards someone owning 100,000 rounds would be called "mentally unstable."

Just imagine if he lived elsewhere:


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 Montana , he'd be called "The neighborhood 'Go-To' guy.”


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

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

In North Carolina , Mississippi, and South Carolina he would be called "a deer hunting buddy."



And in Texas he's just "Bubba, who's a little short on ammo..."
