I THINK THAT IF YOU WANT TO STRAP YOURSELF DOWN WITH DOZENS OF WEAPONS ON YOUR OWN PROPERTY AND ARE WILLING TO TAKE ALL RESPONSOBILITY FOR THEM AND KNOW HOW TO USE THEM SAFTLY THEN YOU SHOULD! OPPS CAPS, anyway you should be able to do what ever you want and the cop should not have talked down to you. But keep in mind you are obviously going to draw attention to yourself as you already have and may have to deal with it again, it sucks but it's life. You probably frightened the cop a bit too. Once I had all of my guns confiscated even though I had the paperwork just because the cops were not familiar with them and frankly they were scared of them. Took me 3 days to get them back and then a spring was broken because they were obviously dry firing them like mad, ugg.
