Her cache somehow caught the attention of Lakewood Police, who paid a visit last September. When they found Rice wasn’t home, they asked an obliging employee of the complex to open up the apartment without her consent. Once inside, they raided the gun rack, making off with 13 firearms worth around $15,000. The only problem: They had no apparent reason to.
When Rice kindly asked to have her toys returned, the cops acknowledged that the weapons were legally owned. But they refused to return them without a court order. And so Rice has filed suit in Lakewood Municipal Court.

- SKS M-21 Sniper Rifle
- Ruger Blackhawk .357
- Sentinel Arms 12 Gauge
- Gemtech .22 LR
- Ruger Mark II .22 LR
- Antique double barrel percussion shotgun
- Springfield Arms .45 ACP
- Thompson M1928 .45 ACP Semi-automatic
- Mossberg 500A 12 Gauge Shotgun
- Valkyrie Arms M3 .45 ACP Semi-automatic
- Smith & Wesson M-686 .357
- Makarov 9mm
- Colt Model M1851 .44 Revolver
Rice’s complaint indicates she is not under any disability and has not been convicted of any offense that would preclude her from gun ownership.
The complaint also says police have not filed any charges related to the weapons, and have refused to return them to Rice without a court order.
Is this one of the first 'shots' in the "Federal Families" new regulations, since they can't legislate gun bans? Is this a defacto act under the new DHS homegrown terrorist action???
And what if they want her to produce sales receipts for the guns? How many of you have guns you have no receipts for? Family guns, private sales??? What do you do then?
Time to take a hard look at how we store our weapons, and maybe relook at house vs. apartment living... Just sayin...
