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.

No such thing as to much ammo…..
Of course not, I own guns and I don’t plan on shooting up anything. Having said that though, one has to seriously question for what purpose a person would have 45000 rounds of ammunition in his residence. Especially in light of the fact that he lives in the most densely populated city in the nation. Try to remember this , in instances like this one, logic must prevail, because an once of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Well good thing I live in Texas I dont have 45000 rounds of ammo but i have more guns! LOL
If there is anything that the guy violated, it is fire hazard / safety and should be treated as such.. and corrective measures to be enforced is to make sure that his ammos and gun powders are stored in a safe place. He should not be charged for possession of too many firearms.

Want to see end result of this
So whats the max amount of ammo and guns allowed to be owned legally by a private citizen?
Sounds like an amateur gun owner — just trying to get his gun collection started.
How much is too much and who gets to decide?
There’s a reason not to live in that area.
