They might do a background check on your mental stability and why you need 2 guns.

If they were on seperate orders/invoice then there will be a check for each instance I believe. If you lumped them together in a single transaction/invoice one check should do. Honestly you the merchant you ordered through will have your answer though.

How many crimes have you stopped or how many criminals have you killed recently? Resolved any hostage situations this week on your days off duty?
If the answer is no I request you defer from the delusional that by somehow carrying a gun it is protecting people like me. All you are doing is helping alleviate your own paranoia, nothing more.
This complex you have developed as a result of serving the public is incredibly dangerous, projecting your insecurities onto people that aren't as fearful (aware as you would say) as you.
You don't protect me. You may have done when a cop (on duty) but in no way shape or form does you desiring to carry a weapon make me any safer. I am not sure why anyone would feel that way.
And if the answer was yes you have, than you are taking the law into your own hands which is even more dangerous than your perception.

Not for guns. But in the home I can understand, everyone to themselves. On the street and in public definetly not. It's creates more problems that it could possibly solve.
It all stemmed from my first post which was highlighting the OP'S delusional state that by him carrying a gun he is protecting me. Statements like that is why I have such a strong opinion about people carrying guns.
Sorry about thread drift OP. I think others have answered it
My point in that post that the desire to have a gun is based on fear. A fear that many will attribute with sentences like "better to have one than not". That thought process derives from a fear of the unknown, that's all, Wetherby people wish to acknowledge it or not..
