The P40s served the British in North Africa well in a ground attack/fighter-bomber role and were the first planes used by the Tuskegee Airman when they deployed to Italy. Having a high number of legally purchased firearms may be questionable, but it is still quite legal. Especially since most were in locked gun cabinets and safes. Some people collect cars, others collect coins and some collect old firearms. That is the case with this guy that has some arms to which no ammunition has been manufactured for decades.

However legal or not 150 weapons in an apartment is a bit much. Thank you for clearing that up and the warhawk was quite a durable piece of hardware…someone should do a movie about the flying tigers.

A judge ruled some years ago that the individual in this case was not involuntarily confident for mental health reasons. This became a huge case in the state of PA and forced some changes in the state laws, as well as a severe reprimand of a county assistant DA that was continuing to defy a judge over the return of all the legal firearms in the earlier case. I think that we have a gross over reaction by the local police after the cop shooting case from last year. The media is hyperventilating over a guy that is a fairly passive guy.

If so that might suggest some bias on your part, but that aside are you saying that the 302 event did not happen or that is doesn't matter if the man has some mental issues? Or that he didn't cock his gun when the police entered. Now that part of the story surprised me because here in Los Angeles backing your car up near a police officer is punishable by every cop in the neighborhood emptying his gun into the car and whoever is in it, so here the man would be dead. Now I suppose a man is entitled to confuse liberty with firearms just as there are those who confuse justice with murder but if I were the neighbor of this man I would at least hope the weapons were secured what with what's its like getting up in the middle of the night to piss all groggy like and stumbling through and over your collection and maybe tipping over your .50 Bushmaster and putting a hole through 3 or 4 apartments where someone like me might be up for that midnight alka selser to keep the vodka down. But anyway...you seem to know the case maybe you can fill us in on the inaccuracies besides the fact that the man can legally call an armory an apartment. Dear p40fan,

The circumstances of the initial problems between Russell Laing and the police were totally blown out of proportion. The BATF clearly stated that Russell had never violated the law and had his rights to own firearms assured by them. This latest issue, I suspect is also blown out of proportion thanks to an exaggerating news media and police. The facts in this case will come out, just as it did in the first case.
