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.

It can be difficult to move in this economy.
Donald Arbogast If and when there is a complete breakdown in the civil order, that ammo would be worth more than gold. Remember, every time he bought another weapon, he was given a license for it by the city …which then turned around and arrested him for having too much of all this stuff. Why did they keep giving him another license? This is FUBAR.
Powder is not volatile like gasoline. No comparison. And many apartments don’t have garages. Many Americans with garages store powder and other things that can burn or explode in the garage.
I live in California and I can tell you that it is not as bad, at least not in some of the southern counties around me such as Riverside and San Bernardino. Of course, the recent false flag attack in San Bernardino might’ve been partly intended to change that tradition.
ALL BAD!!!!!! Cops need more oversite but it won’t happen
NEVER HEARD OF TOO MUCH AMMO
That is totally rediculous!
Yes, he registered his weapons, and he was law-abiding, but he was CLUELESS: the 1/8 of a TON of gunpowder was improperly stored and a fire hazard – he could have blown up the entire building.
The point is your Constitutional rights are not without limits. You have a right to free speech, but you don’t have a right to cuss out random strangers on the street. You have the right to free religion, but you don’t have the right to practice human sacrifice or child marriage. Similarly, you have the right to bear arms, but you don’t have the right to bear them unsafely and endanger others – this applies whether you have improperly stored, dangerous quantities of powder in close proximity to other people’s homes, or if you are at a gun range and absentmindedly allow your loaded, cocked weapon to point at other shooters . Either way, you’re beibg a jackass, and allowing your rights to infringe upon the right of other people to live safely.
This guy registered his weapons, and apparently was law-abiding, but he was CLUELESS: the 1/8 of a TON of gunpowder was improperly stored and a fire hazard – he could have blown up the entire building.
The point is that your Constitutional rights are not without limits. You have a right to free speech, but you don’t have a right to cuss out random strangers on the street. You have the right to freely practice whatever religion you choose, but you don’t have the right to practice human sacrifice or child marriage. Similarly, you have the right to bear arms, but you don’t have the right to bear them unsafely in a way that endangers others. This applies whether you have improperly stored, dangerous quantities of powder in close proximity to other people’s homes, or if you leave loaded weapons within the reach of children, or if you are walking around at a gun range and absentmindedly allow your loaded, cocked weapon to point at other shooters. In each of these instances, you’re being a thoughtless, negligent jackass, and allowing your rights to infringe upon the right of other people to live safely, and that is NOT cool.
I missed that part in the 2nd amendment where it discussed the proper way to store your weapons.
