NJ man approaches police, they confiscate his guns...

[deerpark 83]

Police: Wood-Ridge man had guns, tomahawks, knives, bows, 10,000 ammo rounds, more.

 

So a NJ man goes to the police and tells them he thinks hes being followed and videotaped.

 

He also allegedly gave them a 20 page letter.

 

They take the man to the Bergen Regional Medical Center for an evaluation.

 

At the same time, they allegedly got a search warrant for his home and confiscated his handguns, long guns, some other junk and 10,000 rounds of ammo...

 

WTF?

 

*Edit*, as others have pointed out, the police may have gotten a warrant, which is better than no protocol.

[blksheep 466]

Ok

[deerpark 83]

Ok

 

Pipe down!

From the article:

 

"4 handguns; 3 rifles; a shotgun; a crossbow; a compound bow; 2 long bows; 30 arrows; 2 tomahawks several throwing knives; a knife throwing stick; 7 spears; more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition, including hollow-point rounds. Police are investigating.

Meanwhile, “the guns are currently in our possession for safe keeping,” Rutigliano said.

 

 

Not much of a collection, and he'll need a court order to get it back.  Wonderful.....

[deerpark 83]

At-least most of the comments are positive.

Probably save the "WTF" until we find out if the letter was 20 pages of Bat Shit Crazy.

Anyone we know? Seems all legal to me.... Lmao!

Sad story, but I do want that Beretta carbine more and more every time I see it.

True....there's usually a "rest of the story".

And the newspapers rarely know what they're talking about.

This was my thought.  That's not much of a hoard, especially since it could be 20 bricks of .22lr lol.  Bulls**t they took it from him unless he went nuts in that letter.  

 

On a totally separate and unrelated note, I was recently informed by a shop owner that you can own and shoot a bow on your own property with no regulations whatsoever.  Kind of made me want to get a crossbow and some targets for the backyard.

Guy has pretty good taste.  I own darn near every one of them, except the cx4.

So i guess you made your judgement based off of reading that letter. If so share it with us so we can get all the info too. Oh wait...you didnt read the letter. Shocker..you made a judgement without knowing all the facts. Sounds about right for this place

until we know what was in the letter, no one should say anything or make judgments in the matter imho.

[RS1200XL 4]

Actually, the title of the article is "Man's 20-page letter to police leads to discovery of weapons cache in Wood-Ridge home"...

Not too bad of picks though... P226 with the E2 grips & P30 aren't too shabby!

ok...point is...what was said in the letter maybe gave the police some concern. Its not like he wrote them a poem and they went to his house to take his guns. I am just going to say that most normal people dont write twenty page letters to the police. Maybe it was his manifesto.

[Tack Tickle 0]

I know, I was just bustin ballz, haha. 20 pages definitely sounds like it would be some crazy manifesto...

If you write the police a 20 page letter at some point you are bound to get off topic and sound crazy.

[Blacksmythe 71]

I want that Henry. On another note I wonder if he will ever get any of it back.

[nitrospaz9 10]

I want the AR and what looks like a lever action golden boy

What is the justification for publicly displaying his firearms like they are trophies from a drug bust?

[mikeyjones 88]

I showed my gf the story and she goes "that's not that many guns". I've taught her well.

A "letter" is not a determination of guilt.

no but it could be a good indicator of somebody is about to go off the deep end.
