This is a little game we played on another forum once upon a time and it was actully pretty interesting. I thought of it again tonight after seeing the thread about the guy caught with the weapons in his car.
If you were pulled over one night and your car was searched and then your home how would you be portrayed by the media?
This is just for fun and it really illustrates how a completely benign gun collection can be portrayed as something sinister in the media. The vast majority of us on here are peaceful, law abiding people and our guns are a hobby and a sport as well as a means of self defense. Most of us would never even consider using them in an offensive or illegal manner but as soon as we get in trouble they become "arsenals" and "stockpiles."
Like I said, this is just for fun so be creative. It will be interesting to see how creative you guys can be and what people can find to say about themselves.
I think mine would read something like...
"The suspect was stopped for a routine traffic violation but officers became suspicious when they learned he was carrying a concealed firearm. After detaining him and searching his vehicle officers found multiple high caliber semi-auto handguns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. Also found were knives, a hatchet, and various survivalist gear.
Upon obtaining a search warrant investigators found a vast arsenal of weapons stored in his home. The arsenal contained over fifty firearms..consisting of handguns, shotguns and assault rifles. These weapons were found in his car, truck, and stashed though out his home. Also a large concentration of weapons was found hidden in safes inside a small room off of his garage.
Among the weapons found were several high capacity semi-automatic handguns; multiple high capacity assault rifles; short barreled shotguns; several small, easily concealed handguns; multiple extremely deadly, high caliber revolvers; and multiple high caliber rifles capable of penetrating light armor.
Also found were multiple loaded magazines for the assault rifles and semi-auto andguns, large stores of handgun and rifle ammunition and multiple knives and other weapons such as tasers and pepper spray.
The suspect was also know to frequent local shooting ranges, gun shops, and participate in multiple internet forums for gun fanatics."
Geez, when you say it like that even I think they should lock me up.
