Violated a restraining order it seems, possibly shot out somebody’s car windows, and told his ex girlfriend’s boyfriend’s father that he should take out a life insurance policy on the son because he’d kill him or pay somebody to do it.
So, out of two certain felonies (felony or aggravated assault, unlawful discharge of a firearm), and a potential another two felony charges (violation of restraining order, and felony destruction of property depending on value of windows)…
They say he had too many bullets, which might be illegal, if the restraining order or psychiatric analysis fit specific profiles.
I like the South Bend Tribune’s typo — that the man wanted to “project” his property. Good to know his viewpoint’s being taken seriously. There was also no fertilizer found, despite the original warrant searching for such stuff.
Weird story. If it’s true, he’s far from the sort of person we want to be associated with, but the story kinda stinks of either horrible misreporting and/or a very problematic ex-girlfriend and associates.
Alternatively, we could arrest them for having stuff, sayig things, worshiping in certain places, being the wrong color, or for just making someone uncormfortable.

Don’t ya know, with the police having an ammunition shortage, it’s a crime to have any more then you’d need to go hunting with. *tic*

I thought the GCA only prohibited firearms possession by prohibited persons, not the purchase of ammunition.
He doesn’t look like a great poster boy for the gun owner side, but they should at least go about things legally.

According to a post, the guy has a history of threats against people.

Does he have a history of convictions? I’m guessing no.

So what constitutes “stockpiling”? And why should there be a problem with it?
BTW, how much ammo did this guy have?

Just shy of 80,000 rounds.

Criminals should be arrested for their crimes.
Alternatively, we could arrest them for having stuff, sayig things, worshiping in certain places, being the wrong color, or for just making someone uncormfortable.
Either way.

80,000 rounds. Hmmm…..at today’s prices he could sell it to pay for his defense. I’ll put a bid in on some .308 if has has any….
