Apparently happened in Pittsfield as well when a 60lb shipment of ammunition caught someones eye. - Pittsfield man faces firearms charges for ammo, weapons
"Police said officers learned of the firearms through a large shipment of ammunition reportedly coming to Sylvia from Texas. After obtaining a search warrant, police said, they found over 60 pounds of ammunition at a local shipping company. Police said they also found more ammunition and firearms at Sylvia's home.
Officers say they seized eight firearms, including rifles, shotguns, handguns and a flare gun modified to fire shotgun rounds. They said they also seized over 13,000 rounds of ammunition in handgun, shotgun and rifle calibers.
That's a lot for one person, Trapani said.
"Especially a person that is not licensed and able to go to a range periodically and target shoot or hunt," he said."
This is even clearer than the OP. 60lbs. of ammo? WTF is that a case of .45?
Pay attention statists because this is important:
They check EVERY large puchase for legal ownership. Why? Because they can.
Now guess where they do not do this with any degree of success? Free states. You want to know why? Because it’s legal. All of it. Real simple. Like East and West Berlin.
So enjoy freedom. Or not...
How exactly is 13k rounds "a lot for one person"?
60lbs would be around 800-900 rounds of .45
Scary stuff...
You're right.
No one knows what his next steps were because he was arrested before he had any opportunity to move forward. Perhaps a better approach would have been for the agencies involved to continue monitoring his actions and behavior until he did something illegal, then again maybe a level of justification was reached when he began acquiring ammunition?
I suspect that was the tipping point when it was determined they needed to take action to ensure he wasn't a threat to the general public, which as far as I know the CPD has yet to determine because they're still conducting an investigation and seeking information in regards.
LOL in the mindset of the wrong people everything is a "cache" or a "stockpile" or something.
Fun story, I was pulled over by MSP recently for a malfunctioning headlight. (God or whoever seems to have a thing with me and knocking out headlights after I start driving somewhere, I have been stopped twice in the past 6 years under the exact same scenario. ) During the course of the stop the guy is like "wow you have a lot of guns why do you have so many" (because at one point, he had gone digging around in CJISWEB because he was fishing) I tried to explain "you do realize, that's not really how that system works- when you buy something, its on there for life- probably 60% of the stuff on that list, I don't even own it anymore. " but I don't think he got it. He was professional enough but it seemed like he was kind of taken aback by the whole thing. IMHO its a "mindset" thing. And in this state when the wrong people look at things, it gets twisted and inflated into something it isn't. Thankfully in this case of this LEO his sense of professionalism was still greater than his mortification about me owning a bunch
of guns, etc.

Not all of them no... some have really bad stipple jobsI'm not a big glock guy but are these the P80 kits?
I was always curious about that. Do they photograph everyones mail and forward the pics to you if you sign up, or do they just photograph for the people who request it?Ya know that list of what's in Todays mail that you signed up for? Eyes in the sky watches everything you do. SMILE! Your on Candid Camera. Or they follow your tracking requests from UPS and Fed Ex. The MAN isn't always as dumb as he looks .
I think ( and it might be a first for me) that all mail goes thru the scanner that takes pics.
Thats what had me curious. Theyre scanning all the mail all the time. If you request the service, they share those scans with you via email. If you dont request it, theyre still scanning your mail, you just dont see the results. Is that accurate?Not all your mail is scanned with pics. And, you do not sign up for it, is done now as a matter of course and has been for some time now. The signing up part just puts you on a list to get the daily emails.
Yes correct, with the exception they are not scanning ALL the mail ALL the time.Thats what had me curious. Theyre scanning all the mail all the time. If you request the service, they share those scans with you via email. If you dont request it, theyre still scanning your mail, you just dont see the results. Is that accurate?
This may be true, but the vast majority of my first class and standard mail shows up in my daily emails of the scans from USPS. No warrant is needed for what is referred to as a "mail cover" viewing of the outside of mail send to an individual.Yes correct, with the exception they are not scanning ALL the mail ALL the time.
Thanks.
