    The rust is most likely the result of getting soaked whilst the fire was being put out, but inspecting one's collection is always a good idea - not to mention fun time for a lad.

    The fact that none of the weapons were in proper gun safes and that some were apparently loaded is probably why he ended up with a 5 year sentence.
    He may be a very keen collector and a kind person; but not storing your firearms and ammunition safely is just dumb!
