One-man Arsenal

Hey y'all! How y'all doin'? Get yerself a mug of Joe, a virtual muffin or doughnut and set yerself down at this here VIP table. Yeehaw! Have I got a doosie for y'all today...

According to the flabbergasted sheriff of rural Chesterfield County, South Carolina, "This has completely changed our definition of (what constitutes) an 'ass-load' of guns." Brent Nicholson, 51, had been storing more than 7,000 firearms (most of them likely stolen) in his home and a storage building on his property. 

Every room of the house was stacked with weapons, and it took four tractor-trailer trips to haul everything away, with help of 100 law-enforcement officers. 

Nicholson also had 500 chainsaws, at least 250 taxidermied deer, elk, and alligator heads, and more. 

No motive was obvious to deputies. (Nicholson would still be living in the shadows today if he hadn't run that stop sign on Oct. 21 with bogus license plates on his truck.)

Sounds as though ol' Brent had enough firepower to equip a small army. I wonder whose it might have been?

See y'all, eh!
