Police investigating the death of a Los Angeles
man uncovered an arsenal inside his home and garage more than 1,200
guns and about two tons of ammunition, authorities said Monday. The man's decomposing body was found in a car down the street from his home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood.
LA Police Department Cmdr. Andrew Smith called the number of
rifles, pistols and shotguns staggering. Many had never been fired and
some were still wrapped in boxes, with price tags still attached. "Our truck couldn't carry it all," Smith told the Los Angeles Times.
"We had to go back and make another trip."
There were no signs of foul play and no evidence he was involved in criminal activity.
Detectives want to find out why he had so many guns and are examining
the weapons to determine if they have been linked to any crime.
"It's not a crime to have a large number of weapons so long as they were
legal to own and legally obtained," Smith added. "We want to make sure
that's the case."
More protection. Just a thought.
