Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt spend $10,000 on guns

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are the couple that America loves to hate. But while that playful animosity has bought Spencer and Heidi their own 15 minutes of fame and made them a fortune, it has also brought them some negative attention. Spencer does have a few enemies, one pal explains. Hes alienated a lot of people now that hes rich and famous. As Perez Hilton reported on his blog, Spencer, 24, and Heidi, 21, have been concerned about their protection. So the couple visited the Martin B. Retting store in Culver City, Calif., on June 7 and spent more than $10,000 on guns to arm themselves. They purchased two Benelli semiautomatic M4 tactical shotguns, two Wilson close quarter combat .45-caliber pistols and one Scout semiautomatic rifle. They wanted the exact guns that the U.S. Delta Force uses, a friend explains. Spencer wants to be prepared for anything, says the friend. For more go to the new InTouch.

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=102628418 M1A1 scout @ $1,599.99

That's $9,025.99 + transfer fees & taxes.

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=102557613 .308 ammo @ $1,500

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=102705379 12 guage 00 Buck @ $220.00

GT = $11,065.99 + taxes, transfer fees, CA-mandated safes, burglar alarms, etc. No range fees included.

Guess Mr. & Mrs. Hollywood went cheap if they brought all their purchases in for $11K. But itsure sounds like a lot when you see it in some gossip rag.

stay safe.

Who are these people?

Who are these people? 

Yeah, I've never heard of em. Decent but not great taste in guns.

Who are these people? 

Not that I care, but I gotta agree with Fistful....

[MillCreek]

According to Wikipedia, these people were on a MTV reality show called The Hills.  It seems to be some sort of southern California soap opera, but in real life, supposedly.

So are they going to get training, or have an ND and then cry about how dangerous guns are?

Dude.  They're the same guns *Delta Force* uses.  They are so badass they will shoot in the right direction all by themselves.

One I hope they get training.

Two good for them taking their own protection in their own hands instead of hiring it done.

Three hope they get training.

Isn't there a company that gives free training to Hollywood types?
