Arsenal? Yawn.

Heavy weaponry? Maybe if you try to lift it all at once.

I wonder if the loaded Lee Enfield was what really put them over the edge. Those things are dangerous!

Hilarious

If it wasn't so scary to be in that position.
It's gonna cost him a boatload of cash to fight this. Could be the brass knuckles are a bigger issue than any of the firearms?
Any self respecting calgunner ought to have more than 2833 rounds of ammo though.
Who knew. An AK-47 and a 12 pump shotgun are now considered heavy weapons. Or maybe they were referring to the stage pistols.

I guess the sky is about to fall as well....

Note to self: dont pay people to move your stuff lest you be titled a heavy weapons maniac.

[Peter W Bush]

LOL @ heavy weapons. All those guns and less than 3000 rounds of ammo?

why the hell were the movers snooping through his stuff?
If you find a customer has something "controversial" possibly bring this to their attention or just leave it alone

you are paid to perform a job, not snitch or show them morals

why the **** would the movers call the police?
way to fire yourself from a job

[SanPedroShooter]

Thanks a lot movers! Jeez who the hell are these guys? I guess its just me, but couldnt they have called the customer first before they call the fricken swat team?
Or would that make them accessories after the fact or some garbage. Your probably required to call the police if you see a gun in NYC.

First off I sue their butts for loading my firearms then calling the police. Then I'd sue them for looking through my stuff. i hired you to move my stuff, not play with it.

Yes.

Sounds about right.

This could be interesting considering he applied for a permit and was denied.

[2Bear]

This is wrong on SO many levels. First of all Artie Shaw rocks.

Now, I understand movers need to 'rifle' through your stuff to determine what to steal, but why not just steal it then?

Did they think it was an ATF sting operation?

It sounds like the movers were sent to a storage locker to pack the contents, and needed to ascertain the fragility of the items in the suitcase and duffle bag, so I'm curious as to any liability issues. Moving contracts are pretty thorough as I recall...

What a mess for Jonathan Shaw. But good attitude...

"We are confident this case will be cleared," Pakett added. "Mr. Shaw is looking forward to fighting these charges."

Bloomberg was right. McDonald meant nothing in NYC. Its business as usual.
