"I just got one last week. An a thousand rounds of ammunition to boot. "

How many bullets can a legal gun hold? An acquaintance of mine was a victim of a kick-in burglary last year. Between himself and the three burglars there were over a hundred bullet holes in his walls, four in him, and a few in the burglars. That averages out to over 25 bullets per person. Were they violating the law?

Is your friend OK?

How many bullets can a legal gun hold?

Depends on where you live. Ordinances differ by locality. In Virginia you are not "supposed" to have a magazine with more than 20 rounds on public lands. Private land is up to the owner.

Was WHO violating the law?

Lets look at the big picture here. The burglars were most assuredly violating the law by:

1)Attempted murder.

2)The act of burglary (in this case a home invasion).

3)Possession of a weapon while committing a criminal act.

4)Use of a weapon while committing a criminal act.

Those are just the top four I can think of.

I hope your friend is OK and the burglars are taking the long nap.
