How many guns is enough?

I bet this guy wasn't married, so his clothing family budget was probably pretty low.

If any of the guns are left for the heirs, they'll be happy he didn't collect shoes. Most if not all of these guns, if properly stored, will have appreciated in value significantly since they were bought.

There are ladies who also do not want to get rid of it. Fill a house, fill storage, etc.

Thousands of Barbie dolls still in boxes with price stickers, etc.

To his credit, he may have a few guns in the closet to make up for the shoes ...

When his heirs inquired, it was revealed that there was merely a rumor of guns at the dead man's home...

....and the original report of 1200 guns means there were probably 1500 confiscated.

Sadly most of them will probably be destroyed because they don't comply with some BS ticky-tack CA de facto gun ban legislation ("drop tests" come to mind - in CA you're only allowed to have pistols that the state has accepted payola from.:. er... I mean performed "drop tests" on. It's for public safety of course (*cough* *cough*).

If they're "CA legal" guns they're probably not worth much anyway as those are usually watered-down / hobbled versions of regular firearms that you can buy when you leave CA and cross the border into America.

I think all those stupid CA gun specs have grandfather clauses. So, if those guns were acquired before the cut-off date, they're legal. If afterwards, then he probably bent some laws to get them in or into CA and thus they'd not be returned. In AZ the state is not allowed to destroy confiscated guns; they have to be sold or auctioned off to FFLs.

What are the chances that and grandfathered guns are actually treated as such?

Hopefully, one of the heirs is a real bulldog lawyer or the Second Amendment Foundation gets involved. They love suing CA police agencies. They have an enlarged six figure check from LA framed in their office reception area.

Someone told me once "you should have 2 guns for every window in your house"

We had an old gun club member die a couple months ago and he had never married, had no children, etc, etc. When that happened, our club president (and long time FFL) was contacted by his best friend and immediately contacted the San Diego police to start the necessary paperwork so they would inventory the guns, hold the guns, do a database check to see if any were used in crimes and then in 30 days the FFL gets them to sell and any $$$$ goes to the estate. That is the way it is supposed to happen and our deceased member only had about 175 total of which several are Schuetzen single shots, several muzzle loaders and about 15 nice trap and skeet shot guns. In this case even the muzzle loaders get held although federal law says they are not a FFL item due to the death.

Unfortunately the taxpayers are the ones who foot the bill. And they never notice it, buried as they are under every other tax conceivable.

lol!!!

The roster of guns tested is for new guns. Used guns are excluded. And of course, if you are a LEO, you can get any gun you like, roster or not. It is bad here with gun laws but it isn't crazy, where you are stuck with a gun that's not on the roster.

Spoon prices are continuing to rise...from what I see people would rather have the asset than the cash.

Only the Assault spoons thingy went bubble and then bust...

Buy low, sell high....and I did

Lets just figure this one out...a pair of John Lobb shoes is $1795.00, where and when I can get them I pay $20 or less....that means that an item of apparel depreciates almost to nothing as soon as you put it on and wear it.

However if you are persistent you too can find TWO $6000.00 each Brioni suits for $30 each (one place at one time). Both in good colours, style and immaculate condition. So which would U rather pay $30 or $6000, you look the same either way. U look like you are worth a mint.*

Like my Mother has always told me, "Tabs you have champagne tastes and a beer pocket book." To which I now rejoinder her with a smirk on my face, "Yeah, but how I work it I get to where scottish cashmere for less than a Wallmart polyester price."


*This is exactly what happened to a friend who is of a more normal size than I am.
In my estimation Brioni is as good as it gets, with the possible exception of Saville Row Tailoring.
