Police found a Glock loaded with a high-capacity magazine and 17 rounds of ammunition as well as 509 rounds for the pistol, including hollow-point bullets.
I mean sure this is alarming and all - but I'm trying to figure out what his reasoning is for the magazine to rounds ratio. Reloading a magazine takes a bit of time, right? Under what circumstances would he have the opportunity to stop and reload 30 times? Even if we're generous and assume he had at least 2 extra magazines, that does indeed cut down the reloads to just 10 times, but it triples the amount of time spent during each reload. Do you get to call "timeout" during a stochastic terror assassination attempt? Are those some kind house rules? (no pun intended)
Yeah, if you're shooting at a reasonable pace it might not take you half an hour to go through 100 rounds with a pistol. This definitely could be benign, but then again, there are probably hundreds of thousands of chuds with John Wick fantasies out there with visions of cutting through hordes of enemies like a video game.
If they stopped some random dude with an ammo can and a couple of extra mags and his excuse was going to the range I'd be asking why he was stopped/what else he did/is there any evidence at all

meh, if I was heading to the range it wouldn't be that weird to have a few mags and an ammo can.
Not gonna use it all but it's nice to just blast through a hundred rounds or so.
That doesn't require forging credentials or lying.

This guy lied and tried to fake credentials.

Maybe:
Or maybe it's nothing; that's not an absurd amount of ammo for an ordinary gun owner to have on hand.
