Some time later, a search of his residence, business premises, and automobile revealed a .380 caliber Browning pistol and more than 300 rounds of ammunition. Id., at 47a-51a, 98a-99a. This prosecution ensued.
What I would like to know, what they searching for? The police had to have had cause to do the search. Were they looking for the gun or were they trying to prove something else against him & just happened to find the gun in the process of doing the search?
It could have been on something else, but you'd think we'd have heard about that.
As the law had been interpreted up until the SCOTUS decision, it would have been enough that he lied on the application.
