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.

What constituted “improper” storage?
If the person had powder and was doing reloading in his apartment, then your statement would have merit, but he only had guns and ammunition.
Never talk about what you own on this creepy Facebook. It’s no one’s business. Remember that. The Bible says not to let your right hand know what your left hand is doing. Be wise as a serpent, but gentle as a dove. A fool will speak his whole mind. Don’t trust this public chat website with your family details. Those cops are crooked and should be arrested for breaking the Constitution that they SWORE to uphold & defend!
“While all of Shou’s equipment was legally acquired, police claimed that he failed to store it properly, thus necessitating his arrest.”
I better re-read the Constitution because I definitely missed that part.
What Is Improper Storage? Lib-Tards At It Again; So Now They Limit How Many Guns & Ammo!!! So A Deer Rifle/ Shot Gun For Birds & One For Turkeys & One For Wabbit Hunting & Pistols For Targets & Some For Protection & Ammo For All Is To Much?
Registration Leads To Confication; “They Need To Take Guns From Thugs” They Don’t Register There Guns!!!!
If he bought that ammo more than 7 years ago, its value has outperformed the stock market.
At the present there is no law which states just how much you can have.
This is how we lose our rights. Government arrests gun owner; gun owner sues government. Government wins and now has more of a “precedent” to impose more gun control laws. It’s coming, mark my words
What this story doesn’t mention is that the guy had 225 pounds of improperly stored gunpowder. Not that he had guns. Which, by the way, were also improperly stored.
