Mauser 9MM Kurz (.380) Double Action Semi-Automatic Pistol with checkered walnut grips. Engraved on the action: Made in Germany, Imported by Interarms. This is a small handgun similar to a Walther PPK. It has an unusual hidden hammer. All three of these handguns are mint condition collector firearms, in blue steel finish. I am obtaining the serial numbers and will supply them at a later time. 10. Winchester pump action 12-gauge shotgun loaded with 00 buckshot; plug removed from magazine. Barrel end accepts various screw-in choke inserts. 9. Sheridan Blue Streak Forearm Pump Pellet Air Rifle, .20 caliber -- another rare gun with walnut stock, blue finish 10.

Rutherford County, NC Sheriff's Department is in charge of the investigation; you may obtain my cellphone number from them, particularly from Detective Bailey. http://www.rutherfordcountync.gov/de...Detectives.php Aircraft Break-Ins are being investigated by feds because those break- ins are felony violations of the United States Code. This reward is my own personal effort; others may add to it. I'll follow up on that and with other information as it becomes available. Beware that felons with similar MO's are operating at small rural airports along the eastern seaboard, according to the FBI. Any person who receives, possesses, or purchases any one or more of these stolen items, knowing or having reason to believe the same is stolen, is also guilty of a felony. Vic |

Sounds to me like a gun collector, a hanagr is just as safe as a house to keep your gun collection I suppose. That said, there has been a recent discussion about guns and planes. Basically it boiled down to as I remember 2 groups of people: 1. The people flying in areas where a firearm is necessary for self preservation in the event of a downing in places where there are big furry animals who would quite like to eat you (and probably some less furry animals you'd quite like to eat). 2. The "this is America dammit, it's my constitutional right!" crowd. |

Matt Wow, the thought of having firearms that aren't locked away just worries me. Here as I understand it the police won't allow you a firearms license without showing them you have them safely locked away in some sort of safe, and if they were to find out you kept your gun in your hangar / aeroplane they'd go ballistic! What is it with Americans and bloody guns??? |

in .com: What is it with Americans and bloody guns??? The founders of our fair nation found it prudent for its people to bear arms, so as not to be easily conquered, much as the insurgents in Iraq are able to resist occupation. The notion made some sense in the eighteenth century, and its underlying premise still holds today. Until the insurgents are disarmed (at $3 billion/week all the arms in Iraq could have easily been purchased) there will be no peace in the middle east. |

That's because you have been indoctrinated to fear firearms and that no "good' person should ever need one and they are 'dangerous'. A "locked away" gun is about as worthless as tits on a boar hog. Let me tell you it is the person holding the firearm that is dangerous, and if it were not a pistol it could be a knife, a club or a bomb or even bare hands. As long as the world is full of 'bad' people it is up to 'good' people to be ready to protect themselves and others. |

What is it with Americans and bloody guns??? I think it has much to do with a frontier tradition of sorts. Much of the early history of the United States is filled with pioneering efforts to tame the wilderness, and when you're out in the wilderness a firearm can be a very useful thing, for protection from animals or for hunting food. The "rugged individualism" developed in this way survives today as an independence that some express through a desire to possess firearms (sometimes developing into paranoia). The biggest problem in the U.S. is not the widespread presence of firearms, but the combined widespread fascination with firearms _and_ with violence. The Swiss have plenty of firearms, but they are not violent; and many countries have a history of violence but not necessarily widespread ownership of firearms. It's when you put the two together that weirdness ensues. See _Bowling for Columbine_ for examples of the weirdness. I personally don't see any reason to have a firearm anywhere (much less in an airplane or hangar) except under the most restricted circumstances, but I know that there's no arguing with the many Americans who love their guns. |
