Frisco couple caught with 'large capacity' guns, silencers at Mass. hotel

#1

Post by TexDotCom »

A Frisco couple was arrested at a Massachusetts hotel Saturday after authorities found a stockpile of weapons in their room, including "large capacity" firearms, ammunition, a bump stock and silencers...

Of course, a "stockpile of weapons" could be what us Texans would call "almost out of guns". :txflag:

I would love to see an exact count on the number of weapons found. The article cites 8 counts, which if they were both charged, means 4 guns total. That's about what I bring on a normal road trip.

Moral of the story - When travelling outside of the Republic of Texas, carefully review all of the local laws and do not assume that they adhere to the U.S. Constitution.

Better moral - Stay the heck out of places like Massachusetts that are run by oppressive regimes.

Democrats? Lots of guns and ammo there. Looks like they were ready to go shooting something.

I'm wondering if they were travelling through Massachusetts and just stopped for the night. If so, this might make an interesting test case. Assuming the guns and everything else they had are legal for them in normal places like Texas.

What are the grenade looking things near the bottom of the picture? I suspect they are smoke or eye irritant type of devices but not sure.

I moved from NH to TX and drove through MA with my guns. The one that I was most worried about was my Walther P22. Of all the guns I had, it was the one that could land me in trouble in MA. I am so glad I do not live in that area anymore. There are a couple of good legal attacks that this situation could set up though--it would be fun to see if the Privileges and Immunities clause of the Constitution means anything.

That said--this one does look fishy.

Interesting take on things here. Claiming the items were non-functioning props.

According to an article published by the Lowell Sun, the attorney representing Bradley, a 59-year-old Army veteran, claimed the weaponry was nothing more than harmless, non-functional props used by the pair in their business.

Meanwhile, the attorney representing Jennings, 40, argued that the weapons didn't belong to her, but were solely the property of Bradley, her common law husband.

If this is true, it would be hilarious. Makes me want to call that PD every time I see a movie filmed in Mass where the actors are carrying guns.... If this is true.

Some of those guns do look a bit unusual.

But those look like real bullets... why would you have real bullets with fake guns?

I have a couple of handfuls in various calibers. The bullets are seated loosely and they've been deprimed and drilled for my Handgun or Rifle 101 classes. Don't have them sitting in magazines though, that is a bit different.

That said, stay out of the entire NE if you can avoid it.

I suspect not many folks have functioning M203 grenade launchers, although there is one in that picture. ??

Saw another report where he claims he's on a 'classified mission.' :biggrinjester:

Even if the guns are props, could the magazines get them in trouble?

I'm extremely curious how this all turns out. Odds are, it will not be good for us, unfortunately.
