CONCORD – One of four men accused of helping convicted tax evaders Edward and Elaine Brown avoid arrest allegedly had a "gun in every room" when agents arrested him in Vermont Wednesday, and another recently enlisted in the U.S. Army and had a pipe bomb and other weapons in his New York home when authorities searched it yesterday, officials said.
"We've said from the very beginning ... that people who may be aiding and abetting the Browns are subject to investigation, arrest and prosecution," U.S. Marshal for New Hampshire Stephen R. Monier told reporters after the U.S. District Court hearings.

Seems like the Army might want to start screening its recruits a little better.
Obviously a clear violation of the law that says that you can only have a gun in 50% of the rooms in your house. Book’em, Danno...
A ‘gun in every room’ is a bad thing because . . .???
Yeah really...is the pipe bomb a firecracker in a roll of toilet paper?
It must just be like me leaving reading glasses around the house so I don’t have to look for them.
I only have one gun and it moves when I do.
LOL
So......every room in my house has a gun in it. Except the bathroom, too much moisture.
Lets see, I’m within 6’ of three weapons and I’m not anywhere near my gun room, gun safes or the “other room”.
Throw in a couple of 16’ bayonets for good measure that are right behind me.
Good thing I’m not a criminal. The MSM would have a field day as the BATF carried my “Arsenal” out to their vans.
If your carry piece is polymer or stainless, you can have that with you when you go in there, and of course take it with you when you leave. The low duty cycle in a high-moisture environment won't cause you any trouble.
Glocks are very corrosion-resistant. They make great shower guns!
It appears that the US Marshalls are handling this case better than the cases they handled during the Clinton years.
Why is surprising a liberal puss considered “news?”
Hate to disagree... but even “stainless” rusts!
Keep it clean and lubed and the problem lessens.

(Sorry, couldn't resist) ;-)
Yes, it does...but 20 minutes in a steamy bathroom, followed by a normal day of carry, isn't all that tough an environment. Proper lubrication is assumed.
With a comment like that, it seems inevitable what part of your anatomy is used to secure the weapon while you are showering. LOL
I guess that’s what you call a “safe house.”
sounds like a typical day in Texas, even without a trip to the john.

A shower gun! You learn something everyday on FR. My Glock will now go in the shower with me.

So that's what you kids are calling it nowadays.
‘One of four men accused of helping convicted tax evaders Edward and Elaine Brown avoid arrest allegedly had a “gun in every room”
So do we, big deal.
Bottom line is these were just your average tax evading kooks.
Well, that’s the difference between a ‘ and a “. But I bet it would look like 16’ coming at ya’. :-)
Add in the 1903 and M1917 behind them and I got a long reach.
Step off the curb into our yard and it’s Arf Arf Arf Arf all the way up to the door.
LOL! We have 3 Jack Russell Terriers and a Black Mouth Cur who are our constant companions. The terriers sleep on our bed and the Cur is about 6 feet away on her dog bed. NO BODY slips upon us.
Libertarian ping! To be added or removed from my ping list freepmail me or post a message here.
(So long as it's not me!)
I’m not even close to that percentage. I need to arm up, or move to a smaller house.
So? Did they have a trigger finger in every room?
Ruby Ridge was during the Bush 41 administration.
I was thinking of other activities besides Ruby Ridge.
Agreed...

As I posted earlier, I was referring to other operations in the 90s. Do you remember Clinton the First?
My apologies. People kept bringing up Ruby Ridge and I thought you were referencing that. I should also say your underlying point was an excellent one...this was handled much better than it would have been under Clinton. Nobody got incinerated.
Precisely. But most of the posters to the thread jumped on the "gun in every room" part of the story which was really inconsequential, IMO. But it gave them a chance to git 'er dun anyway.

Yep.
We have a gun in every room of our home, way out in Appalachia. Hell, round these parts, if you don’t they think your ‘odd’....(chuckle)
But we pay our taxes...
Appalachia, ey? I live in the Appalachian Mountains and I’ve never figured out why the Appalachia appelation didn’t apply to us, too, rather than just that small part of the range way to our south and west.
But then, I’ve never really figured out how it is that Europe and Asia are called two continents when they are clearly only one.
‘Appalachia, ey?’
Yep...but just barely ‘inside the lines’ in Southeast Ohio. Its not ‘mountainous’ here, just the beginning of the rolling hills and ridgelines starting the ‘climb’ if you know what I mean.
Went to dinner with friends that moved here from Cincy just as we did seven years ago. One of the topics during the meal was ‘would you move back to a big city?’
100% answered NO, resoundingly.
I love it here.
Make sure you visit the Museum of Appalachia some day. Can’t remember the name of the town but it’s just off I-75 in Tennessee, not far below the Kentucky line. Wonderful place.
The old Glock 17 has been in some tough environments as well, and winters in an unheated (though dry) cache space, but comes out looking like new every year.
Compared to these finishes, the blue stuff needs a lot of TLC.
You have 16 foot bayonets?? Wow. How did you get them in the house?
If you think that’s something, ask him to show you the rifles that they go on!
My first thought was the NRA was trying to copy the Gideons.
LOL! I wondered about that too. I guess it's for those 'reach out and touch someone' moments. ;o)
You only think you're not a criminal. Congress and/or the BATFE might have other notions. Citizens' RKBA is never safe when Congress is in session.
‘Make sure you visit the Museum of Appalachia some day. Can’t remember the name of the town but it’s just off I-75 in Tennessee, not far below the Kentucky line. Wonderful place.’
Heck, I can just hang out at the local mini market here, and get a ton of history from the locals...(chuckle)
Seriously, thanks I’ll try to check it out some time.
