Also, I left out one other important fact. The other problem was, this guy's cache of guns and (deactivated) grenades was perfectly legal! Even if there had been explosives, and there weren't, it is LEGAL to possess some classes of explosives in floreeeeduh! http://www.mp5.net/info/sbsconr.htm

Carrol has lots of interesting things to say, Gar, so I'm glad you've decided not to filter him.
