Arenas Stored Guns in Locker Room

Sources: Arenas owned several hundred guns - wtop.com (http://www.wtopnews.com/?nid=25&sid=1862757)


He's finished.

Not quite sure why you say that, if you are going off the article. It says all the guns were legally owned, and that he is cooperating with the police. If he was stalling, stashing, or denying, then yeah, but right now it seems like it will be plead down.

It's weird that he owned so many. Why? I still just don't understand athletes' fascination with guns.

I have no problem with him owning as many as he likes, LEGALLY. I heard it reported on the radio that his 4 guns in the locker were NOT registered properly. Was that true?

This whole new twist to the story seems very suspicious and just strange, but then again, Gilbert IS a strange person.

I honestly hope he's telling the truth and was thinking about the protection of his children in the home, but his actions and behaviors since have been less than admirable.

Also, even a responsible gun owner has no need for some of the weapons he had:

The guns turned over to police include a so-called 'Dirty Harry Revolver' and a gold-plated Desert Eagle -- which is so big and has such a powerful recoil -- no law enforcement agency uses them.

Heard he was gonna plea out so he wouldn't have to serve any jail time.

It must be nice to have ridiculous amounts of money.

He was trying to plea down to a misdemeanor charge. Doesn't seem like that happened

Unlikely that he'll be charged with a felony given that, as far as we know, he hasn't tried to hide anything from the police and has been cooperative. There are a lot of "felonies" committed where the prosecutors never even mention the word when prosecuting them.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about.

If convicted, which looks like its going to happen, the Wizards will void his deal. Think they were going to try regardless but now it should be fairly easy.

If they weren't registered, as it appears now, then yup he is in trouble, I just didn't get that from the one story. As for the Desert Eagle, when I was an MP one of the guys in my platoon was a big gun nut and he was thrilled when he got one (not gold plated). It's still legal even if not practical for police work.

LOL. You beat me to it.
