[Drgong]

Wonder if my three guns and 100 rounds of ammo count as a arsenal

 

[Treo]

I live in MA, and have a Class A non-restricted license. That means I can own rifles, shotguns, handguns, and hi-cap mags

I live in Colorado and can own all of the above W/ a simple trip to Sportsman's Warehouse.

God I'm glad I live in America.

I think everybody that participates in this thread should go post a pro 2A comment on the comments page for the article

he may have had an injunction with his restraining order that prohibited access to weapons. happened to a friend of mines dad. had to store all their firearms and hunting knives somewhere else.

 

[.cheese.]

inert bomb?

Wouldn't that just be called a prop?

I see those things for sale all the time in surplus stores. What's wrong with having a neat little piece of history?

I know you're not going to believe this, but in MA an empty shell casing of whatever size is illegal to possess without a permit

 

[Dravur]

Cool...

According to the Yellow journalists in Mass. I have a cache.... Good to know. Also, good to know that I would never, in a million years ever go near MA.

Must be terrible living under communist rule there.

Sadly, given that it's MA, I can believe it.

DEAR GOD PEOPLE HE HAD AN INERT BOMB

wait does this mean im gonna be arrested for my inert hand grenade or am inert 20mm?

 

[MJRW]

It never said he had 50 guns. It said he had "50 weapons" and then spoke about his "massive cache of guns, knifes, and ammo." He appears to only have 10 counts of illegal possession of a firearm. Guess he has a lot of knives, too.

Yep, this is another tidbit.

At this time, police continue to search Webster’s home, out buildings, trailers and vehicles on the property. Investigators have pulled out a collection of over 50 weapons including a .22-caliber gun that looks like a pen, assorted shotguns, assault rifles, an empty bomb encasement, cases of ammunition, and a 50-pound bag of gun power.

At the time of his arrest on July 1, Webster was wearing several knives around his waist, and told police he did not have a gun, according to court records. Barnstable officers Scott Wright, Kevin Donovan and Mark Mellyn later found a fully-loaded 9 mm Daringer pistol in the front pocket of Webster’s pants, according to court records.

Police also found a fully-loaded 9 mm Ruger semi-automatic pistol in Webster’s car along with $16,125, according to the records in which Webster is described as unemployed.

Webster told the police July 1 he didn’t need a gun permit because the U.S. Constitution gives him the right to bear arms, Murphy said.

Doesn't sound like the guy's too mentally stable to begin with, with the domestic violence issues. He may be truly dangerous.

In order to be a cache, doesn't it have to be hidden? I usually thing of a cache of firearms or ammo as firearms or ammo in a waterproof container buried somewhere near a rally point for use when you can't get to your main supply/resupply lines.

 

[El Tejon]

50 weapons? In Indiana we call that a "starter kit".

 

[kentucky bucky]

This would be known as a " Nice Collection" in Kentucky.

 

[Harry Paget Flashman]

"We really don't know what his intentions were," Murphy said. Webster allegedly also collected survivalist equipment, including generators, cans of gasoline and ham radios, along with the weapons.

- the link

Obviously Webster crossed the line with the generators. No man needs more than one.

 

[sojournerhome]

Reading the article and the side board. He had 2 restaining orders (1998/2005) against him from divorces. In Mass. when a restaining order is issued usually firearms are collected and the FID card that allows them to have/purchase said firearms is collected by the police.

So, he got caught in a technicality and a lie that he had no firearms.

 

[skua44]

Wow! It seems that not only do I hoard a massive cache of deadly guns and a huge stockpile of live bloodthirsty ammunition, since I have a board privacy fence around the backyard, it is all inside the "compound". Really surprised they didn't work that word in there somehow.

 

[onebigelf]

"So exactly what law was broken? Possessing some guns? He had "over 1000 rounds of live ammunition". In my neighborhood that would be a modest supply.
He also had a "generator and some gasoline". What?
Has Massachusetts gone crazy?"

Ted Kennedy's home state? This was in the nature of a rhetorical question, right?

[doorman]

Oh no. I have two boxes of Federal 550 pack of .22 lr. purchased at Wal-Mart. I guess 1,100 rounds sounds pretty impressive in the news media.

 

[larry starling]

Well I guess about 99% of the posters on this forum are guilty as well?????

 

[Savage Shooter]

"We really don't know what his intentions were,"
