Hiker finds stash of AK-47s in Phoenix
Quote:
PHOENIX (AP) -
A hiker has stumbled upon an unusually find the in the Madera Canyon area -- assault rifles in a black trash bag.
The Nogales International reported the hike recently discovered the AK-47s one mile north of Old Baldy Trail.
Santa Cruz County Sheriff's deputies then went to the site and recovered what turned out to be a stash of AK-47 assault rifles.
Lt. Raoul Rodriguez said the rifles were "badly rusted" and had "obviously been there for quite some time." Four rifle magazines were also recovered.
Rodriguez said the weapons were taken to the sheriff's office and secured.

I'd like to find all those Winchester rifles that are somewhere out there. If I'm ever in that area, I'm going hunting.

"badly rusted" and appeared to have been there for "sometime". I have to admit I would have reported the find to the police. Sounds pretty suspicious to me--especially given the proximity to our southern border. It's not unlikely--IMO--that these weapons were used in a crime at some time. Might be why they were dumped in that fashion.
In any case, I wouldn't have kept them. My freedom is worth more to me than a bag full of rusty AKs.

a little rust never hurt any AK. I'm with you, Winds, I would have left my food, clothes and gear there and headed down to my truck with a full pack of iron. hahahahah The Mexicans would have come back to find an empty bag,,,,,hahahahahah

I'd rather my own son see me die on my feet as a free man, than watch him go, broken, into slavery.

They could have been turned over to the mexican drug runners... one bullet at a time. Especially considering how they can get their hands on full auto with their strict gun laws, and we can't. It would only be fitting.

"I would have left my food, clothes and gear there"
I'm just glad I did not see W. C. Quantrill carrying a few AK's with no clothes 
If they were full auto's I might have turned them in. Or not!
Maybe I should start doing more hiking closer to the border.
