basicly any weapon other than a small swiss army knife can be called heavly armed. heck, give me a good sized solid pewter teapot and I'D call myself heavly armed (at arm-reach distances)!
...carrying the pistols -- which were equipped with laser sights...
Not counting LEOs or security personnel, I would define heavily armed as:
1. An individual that has more than one gun on their person or in their vehicle.
2. An individual that has a weapon on their person or in their vehicle that was originally created for and is currently mainly used for military purposes. Such as the M-16/AR-15 variants, an AK, FN FAL, M-60, Uzi's, chain guns etc.
3. An individual carrying on their person or in their vehicle enough rounds to end a typical conflict (mugging type of encounter, not a shootout with international bank robbers) with 3 or more people. This one has a bit of wiggle room with me. For a 9mm I would say more than 14 rounds, for a .40S&W I would say more than 12, for a .45 I would say more than 10, for a .357mag I would say more than six, for anything bigger/harder hitting than a .357mag I would say more than 0.
to reload? Or... do they mean cartridgesand 400 bullets
That'll do.five loaded semiautomatic pistols and thousands of rounds of ammunition in his possession,
