can bomb sniffing dogs smell guns or ammo?

It's true that the dogs never left the overseas base they were initially assigned to. The hardest part of the job was having to leave them behind. Forty years later and I still think about him and have his picture in my office at work.

Aw shucks, now you have me snuffling.

You see a lot of dogs in Chicago now, I'm assuming they're sniffing for bombs and not guns.

Well, here is the thing about that. The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States has something to say about unreasonable searches and seizures. A method with a huge number of false alarms being used as justification for searching all of those people seems pretty questionable, if you ask me. - Warp.

Well, you have Illinois and Lisa Madigan to thank for what constitutes "unreasonable" and the expanded use of dogs in searches:
