Neighbor dispute turns to murder 11/12/2004 4:37 PM Associated Press Channel 14 News
Ooooo ... a "fully loaded" 9mm pistol! You just KNOW he was a criminal then (sarcasm).
Geez - my gun cabinet has exactly two fewer weapons in it than this guy's so-called "arsenal".
I'm sorry but 20 firearms is not a arsenal. What not even an evil "assault rifle".
No arsenal if he didn' have the 600 pounds of foodstuffs in the basement to go with the guns....
This has to be an Associated Press slant on the story (the reason for the post).
The Sheriff in Forsyth County is a proponent of gun rights. Current NC laws require most weapons to be registered. I'm guessing this guy either had grandfathered guns or did not acquire them "legally".
I'm surprised that anyone with the last name of Booth hasn't had their name legally changed already.

It is considered an arsenal when you go on shooting sprees and kill 3 people.
What does make an arsenal?
ONE!!!! If you use them for mass murder.
I saved this from Free Republic of February 04 and use it often.
40 acres = a farm
40 acres + a gun = a compound
40 acres + a bible + a gun = a cult compound
40 acres + a copy of the federalst papers + a gun = a right-wing militia compound.
Maybe somebody can define "arsenal" in the same way.
Let's be thankful then that Lee Harvey Oswald didn't have an "arsenal".
?????
If that's what's considered an arsenal, then the whole state of NC must be one helluva military base with all the 'collections' I've seen.
The liberal press demonizes any gun owner in possesion of more than one bullet like Barney Fife. Most gun owners buy 500 or 1000 rounds at a pop because it is cheaper plus it is also their right protected by the Constitution.
more than 1 firearm = arsenal
----------------
So... AP buries a one-liner in the middle -- about the armed citizen who stood up to this kook, took him out, and, unfortunately, also took a hit.
The proper headline for this story would have been:
Denny Carson Booth
has anyone tried a google search?
You have to get a permit to purchase a gun. Same difference.
No, it isn't. If no permit is required to buy or sell from a private party, then the records are not any kind of paper trail to the firearm, and "registration" is not accomplished. Registration is equivalent to confiscation in that case, because the "authorities" can pick up the firearms whenever they wish.
This is one of the major reasons the anti-freedom types so avidly wish to outlaw private sales via closing the free market in firearms. The anti-freedom types call this the "gunshow loophole".
