your reading comprehension is inferior to most Americans.

Possession of firearms by non-resident visitors is legal, even if they are residents of Canada and an Iranian national. That does not mean he entered the country illegally. Whether he purchased them here or if they belong to someone else has yet to be determined.

I'm afraid I have to ageree with Vendome on this.

Possession/purchase is legal with qualifications; not as an absolute, last time I looked at the law. That is why I wrote, "The crime leading to confiscation is most likely illegal purchase/possession by a nonresident alien, but the 'false staements' charge was enough to hold him while the rest gets investigated.

Temporary confiscation is standard police procedure in most cases involving alleged weapons violations.

I’m as much a defender of the 2nd amendment as any conservative, but when you have an Iranian cross the border under false pretenses, giving ICE a false statement of why he is entering the country and later after the $30,000 weapons cache is discovered he tells Police he is a hunter, that’s time for me to lower that 2nd amendment shield and ask what the Hell is going on?
He certainly is not bringing those weapons back into Canada , and there would be an Hunting license and game permit on record in Washington if he really was a Hunter. Too many lies to believe he is an honest gun collector and trader.

Not much to go by, but a By Appointment Only indicates a very low volume retail gun store.

And having a real estate agent down the hall receive packages that may contain ammo or weapons? Is that a violation of FFL rules?
