Some of you might have gone to the Defcon Shoot this last weekend at Defcon in Las Vegas. You might have noticed that the Shoot was organized by a guy who goes by CHS, and that he was not at the shoot.

> So before rumors abound, let me clue you folks in. CHS was
> driving home from a friends house when he was stopped by CSU Fullerton
> Police (thats right folks, campus police are real cops, who knew). They
> pulled him over because his tags were expired. They then asked for his
> license and got his State ID instead, apparently CHS hadnt gotten around
> to getting his license renewed. One things leads to another and they
> search his car. At this point they find tannerite, black powder, cannon
> fuse, and 'survivalist equipment' (cammo, tents, camping shit). They freak
> out and call the bomb squad. Bomb squad eventualy leaves and they take CHS
> into custody. The ATF shows up at this point, however they make the
> observation that they dont see a case here and then leave. the Orange
> County DA however feels there is a case and charges him with 2 counts of
> posession of a destructive device and posession of a switchblade.
> Apparently the arguement there is that under the letter of CA law

I've been unable to find any news on the actual even except this cached link at google.
