So here we have a guy with a car full of weapons in a state that has unresolved sniper shootings.

A "car full" doesn't even begin to describe it. Here's a list of this feller's rolling arsenal (from the story in the link):

Two semiautomatic pistol magazines in a belt holder on the front of the suspect's pants
Loaded .40-caliber handgun
Loaded .380-caliber handgun
An additional loaded magazine
7 knives
2 canisters of mace
Handcuff key
Machete
Several swords
.308-caliber assault type rifle
About 1,000 rounds of assorted ammunition

I'd love to have seen his gun cabinets at home.

2 handguns and a rifle? That's it? Only a 1,000 rounds? That only sounds like a lot if you've never gone shooting before.

Too bad he was in Ohio. As long as he did not have the loaded firearms inside city limits, he would have been completely fine in Idaho. We only need a CCW if we carry inside a city or lumber/mining camp.

There is a reason I live in Idaho rather than some other state with unconstitutional prohibitions on simple possession of arms.

The guy should do jail time. Anyone carrying only one extra magazine is a disgrace.

Now 2 handguns and 1 rifle are an arsenal?

By the way, welcome to FR when you get here tomorrow.

Two handguns in holsters on his pants? A .40 and a .380? And this guy decides to speed?

That's pretty much a Darwin moment if I ever heard of one. Hell, even in Arizona, if you pulled that, you'd gather some pretty strong questions from the state troopers.

Two semiautomatic pistol magazines in a belt holder on the front of the suspect's pants
Loaded .40-caliber handgun -- I carry a loaded .45
Loaded .380-caliber handgun
An additional loaded magazine -- I usually have 3
7 knives -- At least one or two
2 canisters of mace -- Doesn't everyone carry at least one?
Handcuff key -- 2 sets of cuffs, 2 keys
Machete -- Of course
Several swords -- Still looking for one.
.308-caliber assault type rifle --Only when I go to the range
About 1,000 rounds of assorted ammunition -- Unless I'm going to the range, only about 100.

That's what's normally in my car. When I went to the range more often, I'd have at least 1000 rounds in the car all the time plus whatever handguns and rifles that I was going to use that day.

The only time that I gave it a thought was when algore was in town and my route to the gun range crossed his route into town and the roads were swarming with cops. The most dangerous thing that I had in the car that day was hundreds of copies of the Constitution and some anti-government and anti clinton literature. A stop then would have proved quite interesting.

Welcome to FR.
