In late 1998, I knew one old gray "campus" police chief, first name of Ted, at College of Marin campus in Kentfield, Marin County, California who thought it was totally wrong for "an ordinary" citizen to own as many as eight firearms.
This is in the SF Bay Area which is about the most lefty part of Commie-fornia.
He claimed it was "the right of police officers" to own that many guns and that "most people didn't own so many guns".
This was before SCOTUS ruled that the Second Amendment was an INDIVIDUAL right.
Where is the word "POLICE" enumerated in the 2nd A anyway?
So, if some cop were ever to try to jack you or shame you about owning any number of guns, how would you try to explain it?
Do you use the old cop-out that "I am a collector" or "I am hunter"?
This same guy named Ted also thought that any person who would keep a loaded shotgun by his bed at night to be "paranoid".
Incidentally, a young officer in Ted's department claimed that he was pro-Second Amendment.
The rank and file cops tend to be pro-gun but the higher ups are often gun-grabbers.
Cops and others with the mentality of Ted are the single greatest danger to the American ideals of liberty. No mass shooter is as nearly as dangerous.
