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.

This poor man will never get his legally obtained private property back. The New York Gestapo has struck again. If he had never gone to the trouble of getting a pistol license they would never had seen the rest of his guns and ammo. In NY exercising your 2nd Amendment rights gives the police the right to unreasonable search and seizure even though that is unconstitutional too. I pity anyone stupid enough to live in new York City.
My brother pointed out that having more than 50 pounds of powder in a residence is actually a BATFE-enforcable crime, so his 230 pounds put him in violation. I think that is a rotten technicality, but there is a point to the fact that his storage DID pose a credible safety threat to his neighbors.
7 years and they admit he’s committed no crime???
It started as an administrative pistol license review, the cops saw ammo and gunpowder “in plain sight” along with unsecured pistol got a warrant and went back. He had 225 lbs of gunpowder.
The arrested him for third degree possession of a weapon meaning he has a defaced firearm or bomb. I wonder if they consider gunpowder a bomb, even though it looks like he was a reloader or in possession of an assault weapon.
This guy had 45,000 rounds and he wasn’t sharing, God I wish I had 45,000.
I wonder what is too much… 20k rounds too much?
Come and take that to,watch what happens.
since when is 45k in rounds too much ammo?
b******t cant find anything better to do he was not hurting anyone .
What part of “shall not be infringed” is confusing? DHS has well over a billion rounds.
