1,400 GUNS: Weapons search widens to Upland antique store

[DoYouEverWonder]

UPLAND - Authorities seized ammunition, paperwork and a computer from an Upland antique store and searched a home in Ventura as the investigation of an Upland man suspected of hoarding about 1,400 weapons and explosives widened.

Judge Oswald Parada denied bail, saying Ferro's claim of ties to the militant Cuban liberation group Alpha 66 would give him access to more weapons if released.

Ferro was arrested in 1992 when 5 pounds of C-4 explosive were found at his Pomona chicken ranch. He was sentenced to two years in prison.

Authorities believe he was running a paramilitary camp on his ranch, training Mexican nationals to overthrow the Castro government.

Federal prosecutor Dennise Willett said Ferro could face between eight to 10 years in prison.

7. So if you go after Castro, does the Patriot Act apply?

I don't think so. I think it mostly applies to stuff that might be directed against the USA.
