    Maybe:

    • He thinks there will be others joining him, like at the capitol
    • A handgun and 500 rounds are compact enough to fit in a backpack or briefcase
    • He can get it in and have enough to distribute to others
    • If he gets pinned down in a building or behind something he has ammo to drag it out for hours
    • Taking over some government building might be the main plan or a contingency

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