A man who showed up at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday with a container of handguns, rifles and loaded ammunition magazines in his pickup truck was arrested, an airport official said.

Los Angeles Airport Police officers stopped the Chevy Silverado at 10:49 a.m. at a checkpoint on westbound Century Boulevard at Sepulveda Boulevard, one of the main entrances into the passenger terminal area, said Nancy Suey Castles of Los Angeles World Airports.

What started out as a routine inspection of the truck uncovered a small arsenal of weaponry.

Early in the day, Castles said 37 guns were found. A final count revealed a smaller amount.

"After unpacking and counting all items, the total count is 10 handguns, five rifles, an antique black-powder musket, and nearly 1,000 rounds of ammunition were found in several boxes in the back of the truck," Castles said. "One of the handguns and the musket were loaded."

So that's why my friend missed his flight. Nah, I'm only kidding. That's some serious random discovery though, seeing as it was a routine inspection. And a musket? Holy smokes.

was he a gun collector

OMG. Scary. Hey Roms. I don't know if you were leaving LA or live there but have you ever been to Long Beach Airport? Where's the security there? What "nice guy" carries explosives when picking someone up at the airport?

I haven't been to LAX in a few years. I don't remember there being any check point on Sepulveda. I wonder if this is a routine check point on where they tipped off?

That's some scary stuff.

No, the title of thread thread was only a joke (like it was me with the guns...). If it really was me the BATF would have shown up; most my guns are military spec... :p

LOL got me.. Ihave no life. Tee hee
