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.

Queens? Smeh. Idiot city with no rights.
Yeah, So what amount of ammo is classified as too much? 1000rnds,5000rnds,10,000rnds. Avid shooters have thousands of rounds on hand at all times
Steve Alwin : If you know how much ammo you have, you don’t have enough.
As a person who has scrupulously avoided living in any of the “liberal capitals” New York, LA, Washington DC, etc and so on…
I suggest to you that you are seeing the outcome of their policies. People should move away in droves.
What is the “legal” amount of ammunition that one can own?
What law says you can only have so much ammo and so many guns? Missed that in the Constitution and certainly not in the 2nd amendment.
sounds to me like the gentleman reloads his own ammo which is not a crime. I will be willing to bet the majority of the 45000 rds of ammo is in the form of casings primers and powder. and not live ammo.
Johnnie Burson yes
Apparently some people misread my joke as being anti-gun. Trust me, I’m NOT. 😀
“exercised a warrant to search” … for what probable cause?!?
