Gun owners have to be extra careful these days to avoid not only incurring the wrath of overzealous law enforcement but playing into the hands of the anti-gun crowd as well.
Case in point is Guo Shou, a Queens man who was taken into police custody after authorities exercised a warrant to search his apartment and found a massive arsenal in it. What they found was enough weapons and ammo to “take on a small army”, per Queens District Attorney Richard Brown.
Among his inventory were 14 legally-obtained handguns, 2 licensed and loaded shotguns, 1 licensed rifle and around 45,000 rounds of ammo for any number of weapons. He was also found to be in possession of parts that could be assembled into an AR-10 or AR-15 assault rifle as well as several pieces of Kevlar body armor.
While all of Shou’s equipment was legally acquired, police claimed that he failed to store it properly, thus necessitating his arrest.

So what law did he actually break? Toomuch ammo? No such thing.
WHAT CRIME DID HE COMMIT ??? LIVING IN NEW YORK PERHAPS ? new york justice
How about 10,000 rounds ; )
In the late 1700’s, Boston passed a law against storing a loaded gun in one’s home because loaded weapons and stores of ammunition in a home were a danger to fire fighters.
Seems we sometimes have the same problems we did over 200 years ago.

This is why you should belong to the NRA. Legal representation from the best
While I see NO problem with his guns, or ammo. Storing 250 pounds of powder, inside an apartment building in, “various containers”, is stupid, dangerous, and irresponsible.
Just wondering, would you store, say, 5 gallons of gasoline, for your lawn mower, in the living space of your home?
Other than the “nobody needs that much” c**p, did he actually commit a crime? Is there a law about how much is TOO much in NY? If all was gotten legally, what did he do? This article lacks key info. Some guy says his gunpowder is considered a hazard. OK, but DID HE BREAK THE LAW???
Dahhh … that’s why they made interchangeable barrels on the M-60. There’s no such thing as too much ammo or not enough fire suppression when you need it..
