[QUOTE="soberups, post: 988057, member: 14668"] I understand that you live in a gated community in SoCal, so to a certain extent I can forgive your ignorance of the real world. Allow me to explain. In the [I]real[/I] world...not everybody lives in a gated community. This was true during the American Revolution, and it is still true today. Not everybody lives (or lived) in a big city with an "armory" in the middle of it. Some of us common folks live (or still lived) in RURAL areas where help from law enforcement might be [I]hours away[/I]. The people of that era did not store their guns in "armories" in a distant city that might be a 3 or 4 day trip on horseback to get to. They kept their guns where they [I]needed[/I] them, which was AT HOME. One more thing about the [I]real[/I] world...in the [I]real[/I] world you dont need store gunpowder on a different floor from the weapons to "prevent explosions". Gunpowder [I]only[/I] explodes when exposed to fire, so unless the weapons themselves are burning it would be physically impossible for them to ignite the powder. I dont know where you got that little piece of historical data (Rosie O'Donnel maybe?) but it is not true. [/QUOTE]
