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.

Load you own and they won’t know how many you have.
I know– my husband and I knew him rather well (we thought) back in the 1980s and 90s. It was a big surprise when the news came out after he died that he had rigged explosives and trip wires in his house. His wife had been saying stuff about it for years, but nobody believed her.
stored it improperly
What limp$#%&!@*issued the warrant. Did the warrant specifically mention powder? And…how would anyone know to include powder on the warrant, hmmmm?
You can never have too much ammo.
225 lbs of improperly stored gunpowder and 45000 rounds of ammunition in a one bedroom apartment is a fire hazard. If this guy wanted to go out in the middle of nowhere and do that, it’s would have been his business. But if he wants to live around normal people, he need to live LIKE normal people – he has no right to endanger others.
SOOOOO who the hell has set a limit on what a person can own??? The government has too much control and is overstepping their authority!!!
What is normal? Being a stupid sheep is normal? I would rather have this guy as a neighbor than a stupid sheep.
how much is too much?
Then you should go live near him… perhaps as inmates in the same asylum.
