Published in the Asbury Park Press 12/03/02 Fire alerts authorities to nearly 500 weapons By MICHAEL CLANCY STAFF WRITER FAIR HAVEN -- Three dump trucks removed an arsenal of live ammunition and almost 500 weapons -- all of them apparently held legally -- which police found in a home after the fire department responded to a chimney fire and the homeowner threatened the fire chief with a rifle, authorities said yesterday.

give me a call and we can work it out, maybe dinner too???
I've been in two. With the first--and larger--house fire, I was babysitting for a co-worker who worked a night shift and a fire started in the basement (rags spontaneously caught on fire & I woke when I heard a loud bang). I called the fire department, then set about rescuing their three children, all under five. Although the back door was the closest exit, it was hot to the touch & smoke was coming out from underneath the door, so I didn't open it. I crawled the length of the house with two kids on my back (the one & two year old) & one cradled under me (the five-year old--I made him crawl as I crawled. We made it out just as the firefighters were coming in the front vestibule & they grabbed us all to check us out. I ended up in the hospital for two days with smoke inhalation (lots of coughing up black crap, lots of puking up black crap), and because I was about six weeks away from the birth of our daughter, they wanted to make sure I didn't go into premature labor (I didn't). I got the most important things out of that house--her babies and myself--and I stayed in my right mind long enough to get us out of the fire.
The house (it was an big old duplex in Milwaukee) was trashed. There were holes cut in the floor & walls to get at the fire and everything in the house was either smoke or water damaged. I believe her husband's suit wasn't damaged badly because it was in a zipped bag, but it still had a faint odor of smoke, but that's the only thing I can remember being salvagable except some kid's clothing that had to be washed repeatedly to get out the smell and black/grey streaks and stains. They did get their kitchen stuff out, but furniture, beds, anything that had any material that'd absorb the smell or stains was gone or just too charred to use.
The second fire I was in was a lot smaller, just a small fire in the basement from the son of a tenant who was "fooling around." They contained that one in the basement proper and we did have some smoke damage, but it didn't come close to what my friend had. The first thing I did was call in the fire. The next thing I did was get the hell outta there.
Yeah, but you're a Statist ****.
Is this your daddy or some other relative we're talking about? Why are you so sensitive about him?
BTW, if some dude picks up a gun and tells the firechief he has no right to eject him from his burning property, he IS a nutcase. I don't think anyone has a problem with his legally owned gun collection--at least I don't.
And BTW, I'm sure there is a law allowing rescue workers and law enforcement the right to remove you from your own home under certain conditions.

You're defining BushBot.
I've long advocated that such people should be tracked. I used to post warnings to new posters about some of them.
They seem to be growing in number again...
I'm just imagining one of those "Top O' The World, Ma" scenes, with fire licking around his body....kinda like Mrs. Danvers at the end of Hitchcock's "Rebecca," only with a lot more screaming.
Don't have to...it's obvious by the company he keeps.
