A neighbor speaks out:

7000 "hunting rifles and shotguns" doesn't start a riot. Maybe a war, and definitely not by one person.

Reporters probably stretched the neighbors words a little I bet.

If you didn't watch the video, please do. You'll be glad you did. lol...

Your Honor, I was just doing my civic duty to get stolen guns off the street.

He was running his own "Cash for Guns" program. What a civically minded citizen.

What happens to the unclaimed guns? Do the police sell them?

Rusty Fender told WBTV...

How much do you want to bet that those items were traded in for booze from the liquor store that he runs with his father.

Says that his original arrest, that led to this, was for heroin and opium sales...

Me, I'm thinking he was getting ready to break the bank at the next no-questions-asked-gun-buy-back.

I wonder if Renee Elmers' son's AR was in there. Seriously though, that guy has issues.

Any body know how many firearms are stolen in NC and SC each year? One story I heard about this hoard, was that most were probably from NC and SC.

This guy must have had the majority of the stolen guns from both states. I hope they find my 6 from 1994.

Not knowing how you have handled it previously, I would suggest you be proactive since there may be a slightly better than average chance one or more of yours may be in the bunch.

Apparently his neighbors are saying he was singled out. This according to a wsoc report. One dumbass commenting on FB, basically commended the guy for taking guns off the street.

I would bet that the number is at least as big as the number of cars stolen, so at a minimum 50,000 a year between the two states...

Yea, sucks when the dealer down the street gets busted and you lose your hook up.

 

[SigP229R]

I'm hoping mine will show up!!

 

[jerz_subbie]

I saw this on the news the other day and once I got over the "Holy...!!! How many thousand?... He has more rifles than some people do rounds of ammo!", I couldn't help but wonder where the heck he got the money to buy or goods to trade for all of these guns. Even if he only paid $100/gun that's $700k! So his drug charges make sense, easy to trade drugs for guns, allows the addict to cut out the middle man.

Hope you guys get some of your stolen guns back.

Wonder if this is somehow connected. I hear about a town in SC I've never heard of in the news twice in a week...a massive amount of criminal activity occurring and then a police chief of the same town being suspended...right under his nose, perhaps?

Organized crime?

Organized crime?

Wouldn't be surprised.

The semi-annual NC/SC ARFCOM hometown meet and shoot will be next weekend down there in Pageland, I expect that there will much discussion of recent events!
