How was this brought to any authority attention if they were in the attic?

Interesting follow-up story - not covered by the mainstream media in that area, I'm sure.

I'm sure the original story stated something about a major cache of assault weapons and other guns confiscated in a successful drug raid.

Yes, I too am curious about how these folks got on the radar of the authorities in the first place.

Sounds like a crock. Notice they don't mention anything other than "a search turned up the weapons", as well as the "pills found were obtained legally". No mention of any particular reason WHY they searched.

wow, what a waste of tax dollars even bothering with this.

they must have nothing better to do than go after someone for some pills and old unfired weapons in an attic.

at least the charges were dropped.

Does the article say if they got their guns back? I didn't catch it if it did. Charges dropped doesn't mean much when they show up and steal your possessions.

Agreed. "Confiscation" is nothing more than government endorsed theft.

didn't see anything on it.

they probably got the charges dropped if they turned in all the weapons and the pills...which the cops were happy to take and accidentally lose most of them to their own personal collections and stockpiles.[Bang]

"Yes, we recovered all 3 of the weapons. The earlier reports that there were 30 were inaccurate."

From what I gather, they were just a bunch of old shoutguns and pistols, no NFA items or such.
