AMMO

You may have heard on the news about a  southern California man
put under 72-hour psychiatric observation when it was found he
owned 100 guns and allegedly had (by rough estimate) 100,000
rounds of ammunition stored in his home. The house also featured
a secret escape tunnel.

My favorite quote from the dimwit television reporter: "Wow! He
has about a quarter million machine gun bullets." The headline
referred to it as a "massive weapons cache!"

By southern California standards someone owning 100,000 rounds
would be called "mentally  unstable." Just imagine if he lived
elsewhere:

In  Arizona  , he'd be called "an avid gun collector."
In  Arkansas  , 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  Colorado and 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."
In  Louisiana ,  Mississippi and Texas he would be called "a
    deer hunting buddy."

 And, in  Alabama , he's just "Bubba"  who's short on ammo.
