Dead mans stash of guns & ammo in LA

[mjbskwim]

If there is no will then all of your belongings go to the state
If he has that many guns,some of them were purchased from other collectors,arsenalists? and didn't go thru the proper paper work
Easy peasy for Ca to take these guns.Not right but they come up with something

Reading this thread again now sets my collection goals to new heights.....and I have a long way to go.

You see this? This is the pic Yahoo has on its front page about this bit. If this is actually the guys pile its really asinine to treat someones property this way.

I doubt it unless he collects crooked barrel guns. Probably a file image of a buy back or something.

Anyone else notice in the picture @IronMonster posted there are like 3 or 4 barrels completely shot to hell... the're so bent a bullet couldn't escape... my thoughts are is did that happen after they were confiscated or did the gentleman that passed away do something to them or just not care?

Could be Google just used any pic they came up with,hey they're all AK 47s and Glocks right?
Or LAPD decided to make an example of his collection

I would have that many guns at another location,maybe in Nevada.
CA probably has his corpse in jail too

 

[Dbltap]

Why are they taking these? There was no crime!!!!

Crime is he has half my ammo

Kinda funny,they don't have a clue what some folks,even in that state have for collections.
Not to mention what some common folk have for 'use' out side of that state.
Heck old Bob from Lakewood had 2500 Colt woodsmans,just one gun,not even any different colts
Well at least the rest of the world needs to really think about it if they want the UN to come get our guns

if it is California, I believe they automatically confiscate guns if you die.

Isn't that only ARs, Aks and other such evil so called, "Assault Weapons"? Whatever the asinine law is in CA it's soon to be implemented here in Oregon unless an election miracle happens starting with Kate B.

A 60 yr old reclusive gun lover suffering in the final stage of cancer was found dead in California last week. Investigating police discovered 1,200 guns and 4,200 lbs of ammunition inside his home. He appears to have been a compulsive gun buyer.

The man, Jeffrey Alan Lash, was described as being a reclusive loner who loved guns. When his body was found, police estimate that he had been dead for two weeks, it was so badly decomposed.

Here is a news report about this story:

Police said that most of the guns do not appear to have been fired. Quite a few guns even still had their price tag on them.




Cases of ammo were found throughout the home:

Wow. I'm jealous. To not shoot them seems a waste. Unless he was planning on outfitting a battalion when/if the zombies came...

 

[Martini_Up]

FWIW, the zombies are already here.

And no, there's no law (yet) which limits the number of arms you bear.

I don't think that it would be practical for one person to even be able to shoot that many guns, even if he wanted to.

With all the strict gun laws that they have in California, I'm sort of amazed that this story is from that state.

Well, since this happened in California, I would not put it past that state's legislature passing some legislation to address that. The Antigun Folks in California were no doubt horrified when they heard this story.

He had no children. It is not known at this point if he had a will. I wonder what will become of all of these guns? Would LA County actually destroy them? I wonder.

[Stomper]

Oh PLEASE let this be my crazy uncle Jeff, and PLEASE tell me that he had me in his will...

 

[Trailboss]

Now that this fella is dead and can't buy ammo any longer does this mean the shortage is finally over?

 

[Sgt Nambu]

DADDY!!! I searched so very long, only to find that you had passed! SOB, SOB!

I couldn't even fondle that many guns! Well......maybe if I stopped helping with the chores!

 

[Joe Link]

Sad seeing them piled up like that...
