And, of course, a large collection of weapons is not an "arsenal." An arsenal is a factory where weapons are made. An armory is a place where weapons are stored.

the words are interchangeable but the useage of an arsenal being a stockpile and an armory as a manufacturing site is a more appropriate use. the firefighters have the right to protect the property of others when the homeowner protests their entry... and since they confiscated his "arsenal" i can see why he didn't want them there. he should of allowed them to dowse the flames from the outside and prevented them from taking out any of his weaponry... teeman8r

"...the firefighters have the right to protect the property of others when the homeowner protests their entry..."

That can be achieved without entering the house, if the homeowner does not consent to the entry.
