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.

Id be hiring me a good constitutional lawyer and suing the pants off this bunch of nuts.
Unfortunately in some states like Ca you have to be careful about how much ammo you have and where you store it Because the gun powder is explosive and a fire hazard. I live in ca and reload a lot because I target shoot and it’s more cost effedtive but I make sure I have everything stored properly so I dnot have a problem like this.45,000rounds not stored properly in an apartment is. A recipe for disaster. Irresponsible gun owners make the rest of us look bad.
WTF
That’s New York. Why anyone would want to live there I don’t know. There is another side to this story but I will refrain from commenting until I research the situation further.
Sue Smith forgot Obama in the gun control hall of fame LOL
I am curious as to what the warrant was issued for, specifics. If the police had probable cause that weapons were being stored improperly, or other criminal activity, and the improperly stored weapons were found incidental to that search, that is one thing. If the warrant was solely based upon legal purchases with no probable cause to believe a crime was, or was about to be committed, then this case will go south.
The cops were just jelous.
Show me the law that species just how much you’re allowed to own and no more.
Branch Dividians all over again. Geez!
“Failed to store them properly”…. HOW would they ever know? What justified the entry and search to begin with???
