Quote from the reporter:

"... and while much of it was legally stored, they say nothing in the law ALLOWS stockpiling to this extent."

Wow.

no updates for 28 days??? I wonder what happened

**jmac00** · 12-01-2010, 09:26 AM

that is seriously messed up? At what point do the citizens of Taxachusetts stand up and say "ENOUGH".

Does this guy even have a lawyer? why is he still in jail?

This is a classic case of the Government making up the rules as they go.

I read this before I think. Charges were all eventually dropped after he spent like 2 months in jail and multiple hearings.

I take it a law suite is in the future? Have the police given his property back (doubt it)

Yeah that was in the link. I was wondering about the lawsuit and getting his wife's license revoked.

Secret shooting range on the 3rd floor of your rented apartment? With that kind of bad judgment I'm not surprised nor angry they locked him up and took away all his guns.

I'm in this category as well. I feel that is the only thing he should be charged with. The smoke grenades and 20 guns are more than fine by me and hardly seems illegal.

I'm sort of divided on that part, I haven't seen it, I don't know one way or another. It does seem that indoor ranges are legal, and apparently he had a good backstop. If he's shooting at a safe, indoor range, even if it's in his house, I can't see a problem with this, though the reverse is true.

on a third floor, ya I have a problem with that:

But I have a *PLAN* to put a range in/at a a home. The draw back is, it involves a lot of money

What makes your range safer than his range?

keep in mind you have no idea how he made his

mine involves a 6' culvert, about 50' long (maybe 100') CCTV and you'll need a backhoe to install it, as it will be underground. accessible through the basement The back stop will be in a "Ballistic room" 8' x 8' x 3'd with a ½" steel backstop. It will have lights, drainage and everything. it will have about 4' of dirt on top of it, so I doubt a bullet will escape. The CCTV is so you will be able to see your shot without going down range.

I might even put a electro-mechanical target retrieval system in

"While much of it was legally stored, nothing in the law allows stockpiling to this extent"

Maybe my understanding of the law is a little hazy, but "nothing in the law allowing something" doesn't sound quite the same as the law specifically prohibiting certain things.

If he has no criminal record, if he does have a firearms license, and if he has no mental health issues (I'm sure if he did, the media would have emphasized those like crazy), what is the problem here?
It's understandable that the grenades and armor-piercing rounds may make neighbors a little uneasy...but for the most part, I'm failing to see the legal implications of BEING PREPARED. (Aside from a homemade 3rd-floor shooting range in a standard house probably not being overly safe...)
