BTW, the 69 year old owner of the guns and ammo committed no crime except mere possession.

I wondered if he was an old military weapons collector. At 69 years old, I doubt he's a loose cannon.

It was big news around here though. ;-)

That's a pretty good bet. At 69 he is getting old enough to have fragile bones from osteoporosis. Shooting a large caliber firearm could easily break a bone.

The Illinois press loves to feign apoplexy when anyone is discovered with a firearm. Notice the comment about "on duty" police officers carrying 37 rounds compared to the 600,000 stored on the property of the referenced individual? They didn't ask the police officers how many rounds they have at home to support their duty weapons. Most people keep a stock of 1,000 rounds per caliber. It's cheaper to buy a bulk box of 1,000 rounds than to buy boxes of 20 or 50 rounds at a time.

Does anyone know how this Chicago trial came out?

SNIP: Monday, May 9 - Justice for Mohammad Azam Hussain! Members of the Pakistani community and others working in solidarity ask you to attend his second trial. Mr. Hussain, 36, was arrested September 2004 and is charged with failing to tell U.S. immigration officials about his role as an active and founding member of Mohajir Quami Movement-Haqiqi, a Pakistani political party. He has been held without bond, based upon his membership in a political party which is opposed to the rule of the U.S.-backed dictator of Pakistan, General Perwaiz Musharaff. On Jan. 6, 2005, the Chicago Police Department fired his wife, Patricia Eng-Hussain, upon learning her husband was accused in Federal court. At his first trial, the jury deadlocked on the charges against Hussain, and U.S. District Judge James Zagel declared mistrial. Despite the fact Hussain lived peaceably in the United States for 10 years with his wife and daughter, Zagel denied a motion to release Hussain on bail.
