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.

Just how much is too much?
police found “14 licensed handguns; two loaded, licensed shotguns; one licensed rifle.” They also discovered “approximately 45,000 rounds of ammunition for a variety of weapons; 225 pounds of smokeless gun powder stored in various containers and open to view; unassembled parts for an AR-10 and AR-15 assault rifles, three high-capacity magazines
I would have had less ammo before the transaction was concluded.
Who get’s to decide what is to much? I can never have to much.
didnt the gooberment just buy billions of rounds of that stuff in the recent pasts
Administrated pistol lisensee review??? What the hell is that?
OK, this guy was over the top! But what law did he break?
Guo Shou wasn’t arrested for having “Too Much Ammo,” he was arrested for reckless endangerment (225 lbs. of gunpowder), and improperly secured, loaded firearms; having 45,000 rounds of ammunition (more than the legal limit); and criminal possession of a weapon that was not licensed.
I did the same thing chief of police and pig farmer, I mean how often is this going to happen? just too funny.
saves a lot of trips to the gun store. what is the tipping point to too much? unconstitutionally vague.
