In the news this week, a Southern California man was put under 72-hour
psychiatric observation when it was found he owned 100 guns and had
(by rough estimate) 1 million rounds of ammunition stored in his home
.
The house also has a secret escape tunnel.
The television reporter said: "Wow! He has about a million machine gun
bullets!" and the headline referred to it as a "massive weapons
cache."
By California standards someone owning even 100,000 rounds would be
called "mentally unstable."
If he lived elsewhere, such as Arizona , he'd be called "an avid gun collector."
In Oklahoma , 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 good hunting buddy."
