CA homeless man arrested with arsenal

The sub-machinegun above the STEN looks like one of the Czech model 23 / 25 series , a post war gun if it matters ...

closely related to the UZI
there is a YouTube of teen ager in TN(?) with a metal detector searching a stream, he pulled up a PU load of rebuilt and partially complete M-23's, Stens, and the like. They'd been in the water for years and were quite corroded.

If I was the street, I would be the same way.

unless your homeless in a "constitutional carry" state its virtually illegal for a homeless person to carry a gun. This is one reason why the CHL permit system is unconstitutional.

Richard Cummingham ? ?...really?
Wasn't he that goody-goody kid from Happy Days?

Probably holding them for that toughguy, hoodlum Arthur Fonzarelli..

Don't underestimate Richie - he killed that bartender.

Here it is! That's all Czech bakalite. The original pic didn't show it off good.

is it just me or is the grip and magazine have a reverse cant to the rear of the gun? If so, why?

 

[OLDNEWBIE]

The 7.62x25 version is canted, the 9mm is not I believe. Don't know why but they look pretty cool anyway.

Interesting, my guess is the bullet would feed better into the chamber if its slightly tilted up. Maybe has something to do with the [limited] manufacturing methods of the time....

I think the whole idea of stamped/tube SMGs is the cheap or limited mfg methods required for mass production. That's part of what makes them cool. That's also why there are many home made illegal SMGs out there.

I shot the model 25 in 7.62x25 while on "Peacekeeping" duties in Bosnia. The SMG was picked up in a collection point by one of our road blocks , the original owner never reclaimed it , I guess he lost his ticket , LOL
Anyway from what I remember it shot pretty good out to 50 yards or so and was easy control in full auto.

Not bad fire power to be walking the streets of LA LA land with. Unfortunately now oil filters will be banned.

What does he do, push them around in his grocery cart?

Golf cart, where he chooses the best tool for his next lethal encounter.....little old lady with a shopping cart he likes...the derringer, 3-4 Crips or Bloods...the Czech Sten knockoff...
Wants to laugh at drunk winos as they piss themselves...the starter gun with blanks....

I wouldn't call that an "arsenal", I would call it a good start.

When I saw this article a few days ago I was sorta' wishing I'd have met him b/c we could have traded pieces of paper for some of his items.

If the prosecutors want to be real cruel they'll just steal his stash & leave him on the streets. At least he had a few possessions that were worth some money.
