SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Los Angeles police seized 388 guns from one man, more than were recovered in the city all last year, a police spokeswoman said on Saturday.

Police seized 11 guns on Thursday from the car of Wayne Wright, 56, along with another he had illegally sold to an undercover officer. After his arrest, police searched his home in the nearby suburb of Simi Valley and found 376 more firearms.

"Last year there were 348 firearms seized (in Los Angeles). This year there have been 411, including the 388 that were seized from Wayne Wright," Officer Sandra Escalante said.

"There were rifles, shotguns, handguns and assault weapons" recovered from Wright's home, Escalante said.

A silencer and thousands of rounds of ammunition, including armor-piercing rounds, were also recovered from Wright's home, Escalante said. Possession of a silencer and armor-piercing bullets are felonies in California, she noted.

Wright is not a licensed gun dealer and may have been engaged in illegal gun trafficking, the Los Angeles Police Department said.

Believe it or not I only own 6 firearms, 3 rifles and 3 shotguns which is exactly 6 more than anyone in my nieghborhood owns. Living in an area where I have to drive 30 minutes to shoot anything bigger than an air gun kind of makes it pointless to spend money on more firearms. The most I would ever expect to deal with in a residential neigborhood is CQC where a shot gun typically works best overall. [/quote]

Pardon my ignorance, what does CQC stand for? Close Quarters Conflict?

Conflict / Combat.

I like shotguns over handguns for such things since with a shotgun you don't have to worry as much about being accurate.
