Living off the grid. Not bothering anyone. Not in trouble with the law. And his "arsenal"? Just sounds to me like someone who wanted to be left alone. LINK

Crushing the individual is a necessary goal of big government.

Arrested for "owning a shotgun". Previously had a summons for riding a bike with 8 German Shepards running along. And people still act like this is a free country.

That's "an arsenal"?

Hope they don't show up at my place

Well he was also technically squatting on land owned by a local college, and firing off shotguns for whatever reason.

It's okay to squat on public land in California, Oregon, Washington. It's ok to $hit on the sidewalk, shoot up with heroin and meth on the sidewalk, accost pedestrians, block traffic, but this guy was a danger to society and got arrested?

If you read the comments, apparently the shotgun did not meet barrel length minimum (18 inches, I believe) which makes it illegal and he also had a silencer without a permit. That's a huge federal no-no.

It may have been the firing guns, owning an illegal weapon and squatting on someone else’s land that bothered someone and got him into trouble with the law.

We all know why he was arrested, pictures taken, and publicized thus, and it has exactly nothing to do with firing a gun. You see, he doesn't have facebook profile, twitter account, doesn't care about pumpkin spice....obviously dangerous. (See "unorthodoxy" vis-a-vis Orwell)

Why the scope, tho?

And did he ever find his dog?

He just got the sads about his bud gone missing and decided to take it out on the river.

The difference in my Turkey gun with a XX choke and his illegal shotgun is slightly more 1/2 inch (assuming he is close to 18 inches. A sawed off shotgun has no choke so it's a scatter shooter. My XX holds a 20 inch pattern at 30 yards.

All the deer camps I've ever been to are better "equipped" than this guy's "arsenal". Maybe he did shoot at officers or squatted on private property. However, to call that an arsenal is laughable.

Pre-boating accident, of course, right? The one where the boat capsized and all your firearms sank into the murky depths.
