| FREMONT COUNTY, Colo. (KKTV) - The U.S. Attorney’s office said two Mexican nationals were charged on Wednesday after around 180,000 rounds of ammunition were found in their vehicle. On March 26, Fremont County deputies conducted a traffic stop of a vehicle in Canon City, according to officials. Officials said deputies searched the vehicle, finding around 150 boxes of .308 ammunition and about 30 boxes of 7.62 ammunition. They said each box was labeled as containing 1,000 rounds. 41-year-old Caesar Ramon Martinez Solis and 24-year-old Humberto Ivan Amador Gavira of Mexico were both charged with unlawful possession of ammunition by an alien admitted under a nonimmigrant visa, officials said.

| #8 "OK pal, what's with all the ammunition?" "We are simple hunters of moose." "180,000 rounds?" "Cousin Juan is a very poor shot." Interesting that there was a lot more .308 than 7.62. |

| #5 .308 sells for just above $1 per round. I'd say they weren't planning a day at the range. |

| #4 Could they be smuggling ammunition to the drug cartels south of the border? Or is that a supply for a really good range day? I have no idea about such things. |

| #3 ^ Worth noting for your transportation requirements, 1000 rounds of .308 weigh 40-45 lbs. Thanks Brer. |

| #1 Given all the weapons, ammo, explosives and other items being found in the last few years. Are we looking at a build up to major Terror Attack later this year? |
