Oh hell yes. I would be depressed if thats all the guns I owned. What a piker.

Is this the stash that the Coast Guard LT had?

"Makes for an impressive picture ---- for the "uneducated". But not really much of a collection."

That was my thinking as well. A few AR's, some .22lr rifles and a few semi-auto pistols, plus a couple of revolvers. Also, looks like a competition type bolt action rifle. Any person who frequents this site regularly would probably look like a Militia Armory in comparison.

I don't have any certified body armor, like the guy who's at war with the world.

Is that a night vision scope mounted on the far left AR?

Looks like the other two AR's are outfitted with optics for close range work.

3 bricks of 22LR="thousands of rounds."

Nathan · February 22, 2019, 03:41 PM

It’s a start...guy needs way more ammo before you use the word cache.

Maybe that was just a “sample” of the total cache??

danco · February 22, 2019, 04:50 PM

Needs more magazines, too...

I had heard from several news sources that he had "over 1,000 rounds of ammunition", I guess intending to scare viewers.

All I could think was, "I just bought 1100 rounds of .22 at Walmart yesterday, which I'll go through in 4 or 5 trips to the range."

Sure Shot Mc Gee · February 27, 2019, 01:39 AM

Don't see one sporting firearm.

Small cash.
non-registered suppressors maybe? ~~ Oopsy-daisy.

As someone else said in a different thread, “I only buy ammo 1,000+ rounds at a time.“
Ditto, that’s the best price break I can see.
I start getting nervous I’ll run out if some calibers get that low.

Rank amateur at best.

Just wondering if you'd classify this as a small, large or medium cache of weapons.

yup... that's not a collection, not much variety... where is the 1874 Sharps in 45-70???

Agree... to a non-gun person this would be called "excessive" and raise eyebrows.

kenny53 · February 28, 2019, 09:20 PM

It's a collection, pretty sure it's not a collection you would brag about. But it's big enough that a man with a evil heart could have done evil deeds. I thank God he was caught before he could act. This picture will be used against us in the future. Anything the anti's can grab on to will be used.

MagnumWill · March 8, 2019, 08:45 AM

Is that *all* of his AR mags?

wizrd · March 23, 2019, 08:37 PM

Casual shooter - Most guys I now take that much to the range for a day. Largest collector I know has over 4,000 firearms..just saying.

It depends on where you live.
If you live in California, New York or the city of Chicago, it's a "massive deadly arsenal of a psychopath".
If you live anywhere else it's the start of a small gun collection.

straightShot · March 26, 2019, 07:41 PM

It's a start.

TBM900 · March 26, 2019, 09:10 PM

I have more than that just in the safe at our hanger....

cc-hangfire · March 28, 2019, 08:22 PM

Every time I read a news article by our liberal media about a “gun cache” or “arsenal”, I both chuckle & cringe. It’s not unusual for me to have 4 handguns traveling, as many as 10 on a range trip, and - as mentioned above - 1500 rounds is an afternoon of shooting with friends.

The collection pictured, I’d call a good starter set.

BushRat · April 11, 2019, 02:48 AM

I would not even consider that a medium size collection compared to most of my friends.

dajowi · April 19, 2019, 08:55 PM

The media will always make a mountain out of a mole hill. Thus three guns and 100 rounds of ammo becomes an arsenal.
