'GUN NUT' BUSTED AT BASE

A Long Island mother of three –– armed to the teeth with an assault rifle and shotgun –– was arrested for scouting out and taking pictures of an Air National Guard base in the Hamptons, authorities said.

Suffolk County Undersheriff Joseph Caracappa said Nancy Genovese, 53, of Quogue, was arrested for trespassing outside the Gabreskie Airport ANG facility Thursday night, and Homeland Security and the FBI are also investigating.

Caracappa said Genovese was taking photographs of the perimeter of the base. A search of her car uncovered an arsenal –– an XM-15 assault rifle, a shotgun and 500 rounds of ammunition.

When asked what she was doing, she replied, "Nothing."

"They are registered weapons, but they're scary weapons," said Caracappa. "It's very odd."

He said she had been at the base a few weeks earlier, taking photos and asking questions of the guards.

Genovese, an unemployed single mom with no prior arrest record, was charged with trespassing.

She was arraigned yesterday afternoon at Southampton Town Justice Court, where a judge set bail at $50,000, and then ordered Genovese held for a psychiatric examination after she went berserk in the courtroom.

"She was hysterical –– screaming and flailing around," said Caracappa

Judging by the name and location I am picturing one of those Long Island Yentas, something does not pass the smell test. Maybe she had a affair with someone on base and was trying to get a hold of them for child support?

Haven't you learned yet? In media/politician speak an arsenal is anything more than a .38 and/or.22lr with more than a single box of ammo.

At some installations, yes it is.

Especially while trespassing.

Wow, I didn't realize a shotgun, and a rifle would now constitute a 'cache' and an 'arsnel'.

Well, I guess that for the NY post that stands true.

When I workd at for Northrop Grumman they were REAL scary about photos and cameras. Guns also, only ones permitted to carry were security.

are those red boxes .22 ammo ?

Hope they never go to a 3-gun match and see that each person has 3 scary guns.

I'm kinda thinking they're correct with the "Nut" part.

Sounds like she's batshit.

Who wouldn't lose it after needing 50k to get out of jail for a trespassing charge?

I love how some of you swallow whatever the MSM feeds you.

Who knows, maybe she is batshit crazy.

Then again, maybe she was just on a rant. She did get arrested for tresspassing, on what is most likely public property.

Taking pics outside a NG base? So what?

So she starts out on DU as a "Glenn Beck supporter" and now has morphed into a "gun nut." How about we just settle on "nut."

While I was at Edwards AFB and USAF Plant 42––signs were clearly posted every 100' or so along fences that no photography was allowed. Different during airshows––but no photos otherwise––moreso after 9/11.......................
