Hey bacon breath how many rounds you got?

Your new Chief, Sheriff, or Commissioner just bought you all new AR15 style rifles because the pumps were rusted shut on your 1970’s era shotguns.  Everyone is excited on your first range day and can’t wait to get that perfect zero and dial in your optics (they did buy you optics right?).  You zero in and do a few shooting drills, everyone is feeling great and ready to take on your local drug dealers.

You start gathering your gear and your crusty old range master hands you two magazines with 60 rounds and says go get em’ champ.  He adds he was kicking ass with a six shooter when you were in diapers.  Your dreams of thwarting the next al-Qaeda attack are gone and the realization that your local drug dealer still rocks more firepower than you has just set in.

This is pretty much what went through my mind when my agency let us carry AR’s.  I must admit I was a little jaded as I had just left the Army and was used to carrying a “combat” load of ammo.  I know your thinking here is another PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) victim thinking he’s back in Afghanistan but this is America man, simmer down.
