Range day on Sunday, get busy and forget it in the trunk. It only says they saw mags. The guns and ammo very well could have been in the back.

2,000 rounds really isn't a stretch to have for some of us on range days. Especially if it is 1000 round bags that are set in ammo cans. The article also didn't say if it was all ammo for that specific weapon. This week I had about well over in the truck- but that was +/-800 5.56, 1200 9mm and at least 1600 22LR. All in, that was 3600. Plenty to label me as a 'crazy', and it easily fit in 2 ammo cans and a plastic range box.

Don't trust newspapers, they have an agenda to sell.

It is as if the amount of ammo one has is somehow indicative of the level of criminal intent. Holy cow, I have well over 40K rounds of ammo in different calibers. I know I have carried 1000 rounds of ammo to the range with me at times. The darned media would act like I am some kind of crazy.

I’d say they would have all your stuff laid out on blankets in the front yard for the news cameras to capture for the evening news after the red flag laws are passed and somebody SWAts you. They would use war as an adjective in the breathy reporting.
