Yes, no matter what you are doing. And I am not saying that it is a bad thing per se, just that it is a lot of weaponry. Crossing a border with guns and ammo like that I am sure makes BP raise an eyebrow.

I was just trying to present all of the facts.

The fact that he was moving justifies having the guns, IMO. And he made it to the border when he was stopped. He wasn't deep into Mexico when they stopped him. He told them that he made a mistake. Watch the video. I'm not saying that he is absolutely telling the truth, but at least he gets to tell his side.

It definitely does.

A friend of mine was crossing into Texas with several hundred spent brass casings in his trunk (does a lot of reloading). The BP had a field day taking apart his vehicle. Not finding anything more, they finally asked him, "sir, are you a hunter or do you just like to do a lot of target shooting?" He replied, "both", and they just grinned and sent him on his way. However, they did suggest he not make the same mistake again, unless he likes the delay. And that was over 30 years ago.
