[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Man with cache of powerful weapons arrested at Pasadena transit station (Page 1 of 2)

There are a lot of WTFs in this article.

Sheriff’s deputies approached a man who was urinating on a planter Wednesday at a Pasadena transit station and made an alarming discovery.

In his duffel bag, the deputies found a cache of weapons, including a loaded AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, a handgun, rope, a machete, two loaded 30-round magazines, several rounds of loose ammunition and a notebook with unidentified writings, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

The handgun’s markings indicated it was restricted for those in law enforcement or government, officials said.

The deputies quickly arrested Christopher Harrison Goodine, 28, at the Sierra Madre Villa Gold Line station shortly after 9 a.m. Goodine was taken to county lockup, where he’s being held on $10,000 bail, according to jail records.

Investigators were still looking into Goodine and his plans.

At a news conference Wednesday afternoon, Sheriff Jim McDonnell said there was no evidence of a link to terrorism, and he credited deputies with averting catastrophic violence.

“For these deputies, just another day … looking at the small things that end up turning into big things,” McDonnell said. “There but for the grace of God, we could have had a tragedy today here in Los Angeles.”

The deputies — who provide security to Metro’s bus and rail lines across the county — had been on patrol at the sheriff station. They were driving away when they spotted the man, later identified as Goodine, urinating in public.

“We don’t know what could have happened if he wasn’t taken into custody,” McDonnell said.

Goodine is a resident of Union City, Ga. A man with the same name was arrested in 2015 after he walked into the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York, wearing a bulletproof vest and a ski mask, DNAInfo reported.

At the time, New York police described him as a “quasi-homeless” man who had brushes with the law in Virginia, Georgia, Florida and Washington, D.C.

Goodine is scheduled to appear in a Pasadena courtroom Friday, according to jail records. It’s unclear if he is being represented by an attorney.

In just about any other state that's a pretty weak loadout for a trip to the range.

So he had a police trade-in Glock? Are there handguns with "LEO/MIL only" engravings like the older 6920s?

Ooh! A Glock "restricted to law enforcement"

I have a SW 4506-1 that has "Fresno County Sheriff Dept" etched onto the right side. Fresno County in Californa has a lot of their guns out in circulation as trade in credits for whatever they bought to replace them. Could be like that.

Last week enroute to South Dakota to shoot prairie dogs with a buddy we had 4,000 rounds of .223, 100 rounds of .22 magnum, 500 rounds of .22Lr, 200 9mm, 100 rounds of .40 s&w and 100 10MM. For firearms we had 5 AR-15s, my bolt .22 mag, a bolt .22lr, my 9mm and 10MM Glock, his 9mm, .40 and .380 SIG. I wondered the whole trip what would happen if we were pulled over in one of the various cities we had to pass through!!! I wondered if we would be on the news!!!LOL

And THIS is why I suggested in the other thread that we might not want to encourage "them" to label things like the GOP baseball shooting as "terrorism." Nutty? Probably. Terrorist? Highly unlikely.

Probably, or something was marked like that and the reporter writes in a way to imply that marking makes them "really bad." Most people wouldn't understand that the markings mean nothing. Sensationalized reporting that plays on emotions to support the anti gun liberal agenda. The sheriff is also guilty of over dramatization. But, if the sheriff thing doesn't work out for him he could become a psychic since he thinks he has the ability to predict the future.
