That goes on my list of the top 50 silliest over reactions I have heard outside of California; however, in California not shocking in any way or form.
Glad I do not live in California.
Good thing they found all of those guns and live ammunition after the owner died of natural causes. Who knows what kind of deadly rampage all of those lonely weapons might have gone on if they were not secured by the police. [facepalm]

What do you want to bet that the next of kin listed as the heir never sees any of it.
Or and I am just spit-balling here because its California it was the idiot heir that made the call.

That's a foregone conclusion. If the state doesn't do it, long-lost distant relatives materialize out of the woodwork and make short order of that sort of thing before the rightful people can get it. I've sadly experienced this firsthand.
That is completely retarded. Why on earth would you have to call the police in that situation much less evacuate a neighborhood???
They must not have told the residents why they were evacuating, because if I knew why I would have told them to get the F*uck off my lawn, slammed the door, and called a lawyer.

It must be tough going through life as a complete idiot.
I've seen this nonsense before and sometimes it can be profitable. Years ago a buddy owned a gunshop and a cali transplant came in with a 5 boxes of vintage 45-70 ammo. The ammo was unopened and from around the late 1800's. This guy was about to have a melt down just holding it. He found in his late Grandfathers house and was afraid it was going to blow up and destroy the home before they could get it on the market.
Another time a another guy came in with a military 30-40 Krag ammo belt with 20 or so rounds of original ammo. Same story was afraid the house was going to blow up. Neither guy wanted any money they just wanted to get rid of the ammo before it exploded.
If they followed that criteria here in Colorado they would have to evacuate the whole state.
Friend sold the ammo for a $100.00 a box and still have the belt and ammo. The belt is rare, not many made and fewer yet survived all these years.
Lucky there wasn't a gun store nearby. Would've had to call the National Guard and Fienstien......
Blurring the lines between ignorant and stupid on a daily basis..... NY, Chiraq and Cali.
An illustration of the difference between Western and Eastern CA. I doubt this would have happened from Bakersfield and to the east.

I think in the last month or so, I have found myself sighing more than usual. I've read and seen things that aren't worthy of a face palm or double face palm. Just a sigh of disappointment.
I'm not angry, just disappointed.
Damn, I hope the Cali immigrant yuppies across the street from me never look too closely inside my garage! I need to get that ammo cabinet built.....

I grew up in Pacific Palisades, great place in the 60's and 70's full of a bunch of pinheads now.
Was that an SNL parody? I kept waiting for someone to look at the camera and say "Live from New York it's Saturday Night". Seriously, that is stupid on steroids. This could only happen for real if all the Cali dems believed that nobody in the state still had any guns and ammo left in their possession. Are these people stuck on stupid or what.

Wow stupid beyond belief. The worst part no one in the neighborhood said or did anything but comply. Baaaaa Baaaa go the sheeple.
I remember reading a post on some gun forum from a member that was a LEO. He went on an urgent call about an "explosive device". When he got there, he found an entire family trembling in terror, because there was a shotgun shell rolling around under the back seat of their rented minivan!
The pussification of Americans continues.....

Los Angeles police investigating a man's death discovered an arsenal of more than 1,200 firearms and approximately two tons of ammunition in his home and garage Monday.
The Los Angeles Times (http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-lapd-guns-20150720-story.html) reported that the unidentified man's decomposing body was found in his car, which was parked down the street from his Pacific Palisades home earlier Monday.
LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith told the paper the number of guns was "staggering."
"Our truck couldn't carry it all," Smith said. "We had to go back and make another trip." The Times reported that many of the guns had never been fired, and some were still in boxes with price tags attached.
There were no signs of foul play in the man's death, nor was there any indication that he had been involved in criminal activity. However, detectives want to investigate why the man had so many guns and whether the weapons had been linked to any crimes.
"We have a lot of work to do," Smith said. "Running the background, history and legality of these weapons is going to require a tremendous amount of time. It's not a crime to have a large number of weapons so long as they were legal to own and legally obtained. We want to make sure that's the case."
Lucky guy. Well, before he died of course.
1,200 guns...Respect

Guy sounds like some kinda gun and ammo hoarder. He had guns still in the box and never fired, crazy.[Sarcasm2]

I'm good with that.
The story didn't mention when and where the auction is scheduled. I look forward to seeing the catalog of 1200 guns and a couple tons of ammunition [Coffee]

Since Californians want to get guns off the street, I'll take them off LAPD's hands for a dollar each, no five dollars each, and ensure they are never touched by criminal hands. I'll also dispose of that ammunition for them gratis.

If even one gun was illegally acquired or possessed, the deceased was a criminal and therefore all of his guns and ammo were illegally possessed. Confiscated!

[Shock] wow, that guy must have dealt with a checking account the likes of which I can't even comprehend.
If any of those guns are in the country illegally, I would be willing to become a sanctuary city for them. [Welcom]
Two tons of ammunition? I am experiencing an inferiority moment. It's not often I am jealous of a dead man.
Two tons of ammunition? I am experiencing an inferiority moment.
142 cases of 5.56....or thereabouts. Or, 88 cases of .45 - enough to have several good range days no matter how many tin cans are lined up.
Like they say, "he who dies with the most toys wins." That's some stiff competition!
Sadly all of those vintage / NOS guns are going to get chopped up rather than sold. Good thing CA has no budget shortfall or other need for the money that could otherwise be raised by selling them...

LOS ANGELES (AP) – An attorney said Wednesday that the body of a mystery man was decomposing in his car in the tony Pacific Palisades neighborhood in Southern California for nearly two weeks before he was found by authorities on July 17.
Inside his home, detectives discovered more than 1,200 guns, scopes, 6.5 tons of ammunition, bows and arrows, knives, machetes and $230,000 in cash.
They also found eight of the 14 vehicles registered to the man stashed across Los Angeles, including a Toyota SUV designed to drive underwater.
Who the man was and how he came to accumulate the arsenal and vehicles are questions authorities are still trying to answer.
Veteran defense attorney Harland Braun represents the man’s fiancée Catherine Nebron and identified him as Jeffrey Alan Lash.
That’s also the name coroner’s officials are working with and they’re in touch with a relative to try to officially identify the body, said Craig Harvey, chief of investigations for the coroner’s office.
Lash and Nebron were together for 17 years and she believed him when he told her that he worked as an undercover operative for multiple unnamed government agencies, Braun said.
“The story itself sounds totally crazy but then how do you explain all this?” Braun said. “There’s no evidence he was a drug dealer or he stole these weapons, or had any criminal source of income, no stolen property, all the stuff you’d look for.”
LAPD Deputy Chief of Detectives Kirk Albanese said there’s no indication the man was doing anything illegal with the weapons. Detectives were reviewing everything, but so far the guns appeared to be registered to him. Many were still in boxes or had price tags.
Braun said Nebron and two friends were in a car at a supermarket early July 4, when Lash felt hot and had trouble breathing. For three hours they tried to ice him down.
“He wouldn’t go to a hospital and didn’t want any 911 call,” Braun said. When he died, Nebron parked him in a car down the street from the condo they shared, the lawyer said.
Police say they don’t believe there was any foul play involved in his death, but the official cause has been deferred pending further investigation.
Lash told Nebron the government agencies would take care of his body and the items in the home, so Nebron and her friends took a trip to Oregon, distraught.
When they returned about 10 days later, Nebron was shocked to still see Lash’s body in the car.
She contacted Braun, and together they contacted Los Angeles police, who found the body, guns and more.
The guns are worth more than $5 million, Braun said, and along with the ammunition, took three days to remove from the home, which remains piled 6-feet high with items throughout.
“Hoarding times 10,” Braun said.
Neighbors thought Lash was dying of cancer because he appeared to be degenerating over the past year, but Lash told Nebron that he had been exposed to nerve-damaging chemicals on a mission and his condition was worsening.
He was an Agent of Shield.

I'm just hoping someone publishes the list.
Gee- I wonder how many of those guns/crates of ammo will go missing? Just speculating...
You could volunteer to go witness the destruction.
Personally I couldn't stand the stress of so much wanton destruction of good firearms and ammunition. Better someone use it than see it become manhole covers. They could call me after they shoot the ammunition. I would happily go pick up the brass [Coffee]
I have a hard time with 1200 guns being worth $5 million, that's an average of over $4000 each. I saw the stacks of guns in the video, just looks like normal stuff nothing exotic that I could see. Lawyer setting up for a big payday from the government confiscators.

... or reporter/Chief of Police/Sheriff just trying to get ignorant public inflamed against the clearly crazy gun owner(s) by posting a ridiculously high figure so people will assume all kinds of exotic (read: dangerous!!) weapons.
