how will these unfortunate accused pay for their spa treatments before court date?
“Investigators are attempting to locate the owner(s).”
Can’t they just look that info up in that multi billion dollar registry?
Loaded firearms easily accessible by the occupants and they are back on the streets.Am I the only one who sees something wrong with this?
That’s quite the leathal collection of firearms. That old 303 struck fear into the hearts of millions (Germans in the late 30s into the 40s that is) Looks like they did a little Goose hunting too.
Why do they let them go ?… it would seem to me that this is a very serious charge, leaving stolen and loaded weapons laying around for “use”… Our laws and rules are apparently a tad lax.
The Lee Enfield is not the best Gun in the World,
I don’t think it scared anyone, unless you where unarmed .
No, no, no!!! It is only a serious charge if YOU are the registered owner of the guns.
My guess is that it is our fault that these dolts were not properly educated about the rules of gun ownership and use in our country. Therefore, the good judge will give these guys a break because it was not really their fault.
Hey Outwest! It doesn’t matter whether or not it scared anyone really. The real question is, who won the war?
