Perhaps A Real Gun Nut

Man Appears To Have Committed Suicide In Mahopec NY
Cops Find Big Weapons Stash In Basement
Machine Guns, Grenades, Explosives, “Military Ordnance”




We know how the media always exaggerates these things, and can’t usually tell a Howitzer from a slingshot. But photos show several crew served medium and heavy machine guns plus large assortment of possibly full auto weapons. Pardon the pun, but we may have dodged a big bullet here.

Man found dead in house with large weapons cache

NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) - Westchester County Police are investigating the shooting death of a gun hobbyist inside his house in Mahopac, NY.

The victim’s wife found Jonathan Orser, 41, dead after returning to their East Lake Blvd home on Thursday evening. The shooting does not appear to be suspicious, according to police.

Orser maintained a large cache of what appear to be fully automatic weapons, low explosive powders (ie black powder and smokeless powder for reloading ammo), hand grenades and military ordinance, said police.

Some of the ordinance in the house was taken to West Point where it would be disposed.

Surrounding homes were evacuated as a precaution during the removal through Friday morning.

“ ... improvised hand grenades, 20mm bullets, and more than 100 weapons ... blasting caps ... “ Oh, and the guy also had a TANK in his backyard. Which was properly registered. As some of the automatic weapons may have been registered or de-milled. (or perhaps all of them, we don’t know yet). And all the reloading gear is legit as well. But making your own bombs and hand grenades ... that’s a bit beyond the pale, even for a total End Times survivalist. Absolutely not legal. Pretty certain blasting caps are a big no-no as well. Unless they were dummies too, which are legal. We may never know.

Found in the 303 E. Lake Blvd. house Orser shared with his wife was a collection that included 14 unregistered handguns, improvised hand grenades, blasting caps, tracer rounds, buckets of gunpowder and other military ordnance, the removal of which required the bomb squad and an Army explosive ordnance disposal unit.

Orser was known in the neighborhood, particularly as the owner of a British amphibious tank he kept in his yard. Rich DiRusso, commander of the nearby Veterans of Foreign Wars post, has said Orser did not strike him as someone who would take his own life.

“He was a character,” DiRusso said. “He had a great sense of humor.”

More video here. Kudos to the cop and the Fox reporter for keeping it real, noting that the machine guns and assault weapons have not yet been proven to be fully automatic.

And some of those “unregistered” guns may have had C&R status - antiques in other words - which means that they don’t need to be registered, even in gun-phobic New York. It may turn out that everything they took out of his house was completely legal, but don’t hold your breath for that follow-up story or for his gear to be returned to the family if so. Hey, it isn’t even illegal to own 20mm ammo, as long as the “bullets” aren’t explosive.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
