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.

Is there even a law that states a “proper” way to store firearms?
A pretty irresponsible idiot. Anybody with a half a lick of sense KNOWS that improper storage of ordnance is a serious risk to ones life, not to mention his innocent neighbors lives. If the place would have gone up in flames you would all be cursing a paranoid idiot
Tyler MacBean Not that I know of…
I’m thinking they have some sort of ordinance concerning proximity to a school, but don’t know anything for certain.
Then that would be wrong. It’s the police overstepping there boundaries. And the DA thinking that they can do what they want.
This…this is why we start digging. Not even joking
The article also mentioned something about a “routine gun licensee review,” whatever that is, that was the occasion of their inspection of his apartment which then opened the door to gaining a warrant based on “seeing” some powder or whatnot.
Never should have given them his ID! 😉
Tennyson Carlow Jake Baird You crack me up!
Officers: “Hey Pal, just stopping by for a routine ‘gin licensee review.’ May we come in?” Future Suspect: “Suuurrreeeeee Officer!”
