San Francisco Police displayed an array of high power weapons and ammunition Wednesday that were found in a homeless man’s car last month in Golden Gate Park.
Officers had prior contact with the man, but Chief of Police Greg Suhr ended up defending his department even though the suspect got past them with a large amount of weapons.
KCBS’ Jeffrey Schaub Reports:
SF Police Chief Defends Officers After Homeless Man With Cache Of Weapons Slipped Through The Cracks When police found a huge cache of guns, knives, a shotgun, 5,800 rounds of ammunition and camouflage gear in Robert Johns’ car on July 21st it was thought they may have diverted some kind of planned attack.
Also in that vehicle was a list of names of political leaders, reportedly including President Barack Obama.
It turned out to be Johns’ second arrest. In late June police took him into custody for having weapons in his car, but were more concerned about his mental health. John was evaluated and then later released.

What crime was committed?
Is it a crime to be homeless?
If you become homeless, are you required to surrender your firearms to the authorities?
Is there a law limiting how many 22LR rounds you are allowed to possess?
I saw that huge layout of assault leather too.
We are all criminals now right.
Yeah he should be like me, they are all on my list. Throw them all out.
Don’t forget the assault ammo box.
Being in CA.
Yep.
This only goes to show that one should be prudent and not discuss what they do and do not have in terms of weapons and ammunition.
In SF leather is a good thing right?
It is SF so who knows what you have to surrender now.
Well it is SF.
“Homeless man”? Think about it, the guy looses his job due to economic times, more than likely due to Obummers policies. He takes up residency in his car, the only thing he has left besides a few guns he collected over the years.
His “cache” was a shotgun, 22 rifle, two hand guns and plenty of plinking ammo. How many of the gun owners you know have a “cache” like this? Looks pretty normal to me. Now if he had 3 or 4 AK’s, several belts or clips full of armor piercing ammo, a few hand gernads, etc., I MIGHT consider that a “Cache”.
All in all I think the “cache” was over stated.
Huge? That’s not even enough to qualify as a “starter set”...
You have to remember this is SF so it is most likely colossal.

I have more guns than that in my car when I go to the range.
I don’t carry that much ammo but then I don’t live in my car.
These guys would likely be happy to throw some down, if it would help.
Same.
Since when is it a crime to own a firearm? I read something about that once in the Bill of Rights...
