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.

Take a deep breath Burt -boy
exactly what law did he break ? so he was careless in how he stored his weapons but they were locked in his apartment? Is there a law that says you cant have your guns in plain sight when they are behind a locked door ? Where is the law that says how much ammo you can have ? I have way more than what he has but then I am smart enough not to live in the$#%&!@*hole state he lives in.
Not sure why the police were able to go in his apartment in the first place.
Bernie Weber , for departments that have no need for ammo at that.
Curious … like to hear the real story , don’t like fact he had illegally bought handguns, neighborhood arms dealer ?
Pierre Blaje apparently there is one in Queens.
Kenneth Wilkerson please cite one instance to me of a reloader setting off a cache of powder. I reloaded a LONG time in an apartment complex and had several pounds of powder at any given time. You don’t store it in a risky place. Sir, you are an armchair quarterback and you really don’t know what you are talking about, with all due respect.
Here it is, for what it is worth. New York law limits you to 15 pounds and he had 20.
