"Carrying a firearm without a permit"? He must have had it concealed then, because otherwise you don't need no steenking permit.

Thats considered a large arsenal?

Their definition of arsenal is way different than mine.

I heard on the Portland radio station today that someone was carrying an AK during the protest. I am assuming it was in Portland but they didn't say for sure. He said the police were polite and professional, and let him go on his way with his rifle. The Police chief later said it was legal but not "very good" - or something to that effect. I didn't catch any more details, but I wish he would have at least mentioned his screen name during the interview

Good thing they took the pics of his granola bars & lighter.

He'll be sure to get those back when they release him.

I do not think his weapons meet the definition according to Webster.

ar·se·nal
\'ärs-n?l, 'är-s?-
noun

: a collection of weapons

: a place where weapons are made or stored

: a group of things or people that are available to be used

Full Definition

Granola and two power bars. I wouldn't want to be his cell mate for the next few hours.

Is Seattle different from the rest of the state about illegal fireworks? I make a trip to southern Washington every year to pick up mortars and bottle rockets.

What the fuck is that?

Taurus handgun, some Armscor ammo, and it looks like a franken-AR?

Arsenal?

Better not come out to rural Pierce County. We have jerky instead of granola bars and at least in my house, no Taurus firearms.

If that is an arsenal, if would hate to see what the contents of my car would be considered.

So fireworks are now "explosives"?

They'd hate to see some of the boxes of the things I used to shoot off on the 4th and New Year's.

Fortunately he only lost what, $700-800 worth of guns and gear? Though odds are he can get it back.

I'd hate to see what they call my stuff if I ever end up on the news. If that's an arsenal, they would probably think I am some kind of black market arms dealer. Their heads would explode if they knew what some people on this website owned. They seem to think anything more than one gun or a box of ammo is excessive.

I've driven through Seattle on my way to LCR with a REAL arsenal. I shudder to think what would happen getting pulled over with 20+ guns, 100 lbs of tannerite, silencers, and a couple thousand rounds of ammo topped off with all the gear.

He was obviously defending himself against attacking raccoon, in the process

of grilling julienne granola bars. It's fairly obvious.

ETA: No dual entendre implied by "raccoon" (seriously, I was referring to the potency of the 9mm (seriously)).

I read it twice - saw no mention of an arsenal. They may have been a touch of hyperbole on OP's behalf.

I did find this, though:

"This office will use every tool we have to get dangerous weapons off the street," Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes said in a statement released to the media.

So - to be clear, they want the weapons but, the dangerous person is A-Ok.

Even worse. What's a decent police trade in Glock cost? Got money for Powerbars and Granola but not for guns. Must live at home still and that's what snacks mommy bought she made a Costco run.

So their definition of an arsenal is an AR 15 with one magazine, a S&W handgun with a 1/2 box of bullets, and one box full of fireworks (explosives)

I was wondering if I was the only one who actually READ the article. I have no love for KOMO or any of the Seattle media but they didn't call it an arsenal.
