Massive weapons cache seized from Slidell home

WWL's Bob Mitchell Reporting
St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's officials say over $150,000 in weapons has been seized from a Slidell home.

Investigators say they learned of the massive weapons cache after a man called them to report over $70,000 in weapons was stolen from his home. That prompted authorities to secure a search warrant for the home, which turned up some 50 additional weapons, ranging from semi-automatic pistols to a .50 caliber semi-automatic bolt action sniper rifle.

"When the deputies responded to take the burglarly report, they became suspicious at how he was reporting the crime," said St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Jack Strain. "As they began to investigate, they noticed the obvious, like the .50 caliber machine gun."

In addition to finding the weapons, investigators also found pictures of two young children posing with the guns. Investigators say the children, ages 1 and 9, lived at the home.



Another reason NOT to call the cops? Apparently now it's illegal to have a firearm collection?

"a .50 caliber semi-automatic bolt action sniper rifle."

Now there is a rare weapon! :sarcasm:

Re: Massive weapons cache seized from Slidell home
 

It was an insurance scam. There were no wepons stolen, they were hidden in his house.

Re: Massive weapons cache seized from Slidell home
 

What am I missing?

50 weapons = $150,000????

What the hell does this guy have exactly?

Re: Massive weapons cache seized from Slidell home
 

It sad to say BUT THAT MAN WAS A IDIOT!!

What the hell did think they were going to do?? File a report and be on there merry way??? NO , NO , NO.

When the police show up . THEY ARE THERE TO CONDUCT AND INVESTIGATION AND IN THE PROCESS OF SUCH THEY MAY ARREST YOU AND CAN BE CALLED IN TO ASSIT IN YOUR PROSECUTION THAT IS IT

This man was a fricken fool. If someone lifted 70 grand of my cache (heaven forbid) IT WOULD BE PLAIN AS DAY THAT IT WAS A INSIDE JOB (why take 70 and not all??) .... SOMEBODY IN MY CIRCLE FLIPPED ON ME.

I would have just filed a report to make sure my @$$ is covered in case something turned up in a robbery THAT IS IT AND I WOULD HAVE DONE SO AT THE POLICE STATION I WOULD HAVE NOT FILED THAT REPORT AT MY PROPERTY I WOULD HAVE HAD SERIAL NUMBERS ,MAKES AND MODELS. IF THEY STARTED ASKING ALL SORT OF PRYING QUESTIONS.


CLAM THE HELL UP AND LAWYER UP.


He talked to wrong guy and now he is gonna have hell on his hands to get his shyt back (fat chance).


He got robbed.............TWICE.

If you got that much cash tied up in guns....how about selling a couple to buy some security cameras so you can at least ID who steals 'em from ya???:confused_ma:

Re: Massive weapons cache seized from Slidell home
 

I agree......

It reaches a point when you have to take some serious precautions(above and beyond) to protect your horde.......



With great power (whatever it is).......comes great resposiblity.

<--------Still trying to figure out what exactly he did wrong? Last time I checked, having guns is a constitutional right. Around here, if you called the police to report that your stash was stolen, and they saw the .50 cal and whatever else, they would be talking all day with you about how cool your guns were, and then be on their merry way. A search warrant for the guns? Come on, that is plain stupid, and NOT illegal around here.

Must be a little more to the "story".

Re: Massive weapons cache seized from Slidell home
 

I just saw three on display at the local gun shop. Guess the gun shop will be raided now. :sarcasm:

Re: Massive weapons cache seized from Slidell home
 

Thats next on my purchase list. One of those .50BMG bolt action semi automatic sniper rifle machine guns.

Re: Massive weapons cache seized from Slidell home
 

its a pump ? no its a semi auto ? stop yer both right! its two guns two guns in one ! :haha::dontknow:

Re: Massive weapons cache seized from Slidell home
 

As I posted earlier, the man was trying an insurance scam. His guns were never stolen. He called the cops, reported them stolen & gave them a list of serial numbers. The cops wanted to examine the house to determine how the "crooks" got in & the man refused. The cops got suspicous, obtained a search warrent & discovered ALL of the guns on his "stolen" list hidden in his daughters bedroom. He also had at least one full auto wepon w/o a federal liscense for it.

FRIGGIN IDIOT!!! I HOPE THEY LOCK HIS SORRY @$$ IN A SPIDER WHOLE FOR LIFE!!!

This is type of fool that makes it a nightmare for all of us........the is no shortage of beatnick politcians that will spin this into a issue about more regulation and stricter controls. And how the police cheif chomping at the bit to manditory registration at the local PD's

And the fricken fool didnt even do it right. WHY ARE YOU GOING TO HIDE THE GUNS ON THE PREMISES DIPSHYT ???

I hope the cops find the guns and have to return them to the rightful owner just to piss off Sarah Brady!

Re: Massive weapons cache seized from Slidell home
 

I went by the gun shop this morning and took a couple shots.

Note: Two more in background on counter.

They are of course bolt action. Would love a semi-auto though, but the recoil would knock me into the next county.

Just what every Wyoming boy needs is a means to "reach out and touch someone".

Re: Massive weapons cache seized from Slidell home
 

This one didn't come out well but the box of shells near the rifle butt is visible.

Heck, for a thousand bux I might just get one, it's the cost of the ammo that'll kill ya. I do have a couple of nice rifle ranges to choose from after all.

Ka Boom!

Re: Massive weapons cache seized from Slidell home
 

Makes sense now. Didn't put the two together. Yes, he's an idiot!

Attempting to defraud an insurer....
Making a false police report......

Re: Massive weapons cache seized from Slidell home
 

I think the Semi-Auto 50 kicks less than the Bolt action.

The Barrel moves if I heard right and absorbs the energy to make it doable.

The Theft Reporting Man is a Dork and should get slapped around.

E-A

Re: Massive weapons cache seized from Slidell home
 

Guy's not a rocket scientist.

He could have at least moved the guns he claimed were stolen to another location before calling to report a false claim, then crowbarred the front door a little.

Hmmm.....







I joke.

Re: Massive weapons cache seized from Slidell home
 

Well actually, I think Bushy builds a weird one that has to be manually op roded on the left and has a magazine

Hmm, they pulled the vids I was gonna post of the Cobb .50 (bought by Bushmaster) who were bought by Remington..

Re: Massive weapons cache seized from Slidell home
 

The first keyword is Louisiana. The second keyword is cache. Someone reports $70,000 in weapons stolen, you can bet they have something the courts would be interested in. And you can bet the officer who thought up taking weapons "off the streets" got a big pat on the back, and maybe even a couple nice guns.

BTW, I'm a Louisiana native. This is the state which, until 15 years ago, had casino lobbyists handing checks to cooperative representatives on the State Legislature floor.
