Milwaukee authorities find weapons stash in hermit's underground bunker in the woods
A Wisconsin man was founding living in an undetected underground bunk in the Milwaukee woods for years with a dog and a stockpile of weapons and ammunition.



Deputies discovered hermit Geoffrey Goff's odd, hidden abode on Wednesday after responding to a call of shots fired.
After entering the 8-foot-by-8-foot bunker - which was also 20-feet-long - the deputies found an arsenal of weapons including two shotguns, a rifle, a handgun, three knives, ammo and a bow with arrows fashioned from “snowplow stakes,” Milwaukee County Sheriff Earnell Lucas said at a news conference Friday.
Graff, 41, was charged Friday with possession of a shotgun, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

can't have nothing and if that's his stockpile those charging him are demoturds

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

Wow, now that's truly an arsenal.

 

[TheMoneyPit]

Another instance of journalism at its finest...could have specified why it was illegal for him to have the shotgun...based off the picture it’s barrel length, NFA.

I could be jumping to conclusions here but it doesn’t seem like this guy was a danger to anyone...just wants to be left alone.

If anything it should have been up to the property owner if they wanted to press charges for trespassing and he should have been asked to take his stuff and go.

Looks like the shotgun is an AOW style smoothbore pistol and hence the charge. That sucker needs to be either rifled or be NFA. Or if it was cut down from a full size then it‘s a SBS.

After reading the thread title I had to pop my head out of my bunker.....all is good here.

It's a crime to be a hermit?

 

[Acer-m14]

he was a hermit .. who was he hurting .. lol ..

 

[Figment]

Well he's an idiot to live on someone else's land, but possession of a shotgun is a crime? WTF. If we wanted to live like this why not go get 5 or more acres our in the country somewhere near state land where you can hunt. Wisconsin is a big state. Peta should invervene for the rights of the dog to have an owner. Poor pup, dads going to jail for BS. What the F did he do for the last 7 years to entertain himself in an underground bunker?

What the F did he do for the last 7 years to entertain himself in an underground bunker?

What did people do before TV, cable and Internet? He had a shovel and a bunker, do you think he dug it in a weekend?

Note to self: No hillbilly fishing while living in secret bunker.

 

[Blimey]

I looked this park up on google maps. It's tiny, surrounded by city. I don't understand how this story makes sense. How could he live there for years? It's a miniature park.

 

[Saltwater60]

I for one think this guy looks crazier than a shithouse rat.
I agree that’s not a many weapons at all but shooting in an urban area is a crime and likely his sawed off shotgun is too.

 

[Catskillkid]

Cool fort, bro.

 

[vanderblack]

Everyone missed the real story here: 2009 summons for riding a bike down the street with eight German shepherd dogs running alongside .

The station quoted Lucas as saying that investigators had “not been able to find any ideological or political motive for the individual's alleged conduct.”

"Shots fired"; so? Show him where the local gun range is, a verbal reprimand at best. He's the ultimate minority a loaner of one. Did he commit a violent crime or have criminal intent? Are they going to take all his gear now, "because". Maybe he was avoiding idiots and in-laws.

It's a crime to be a hermit?

Good God I hope not.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Good God I hope not.

In practice, most dedicated reloaders are OCD eccentric hermits and can hide in their caves from January 2 to May 15 if they're well stocked. Leave me alone I'm reloading, screw upstate weather.

Arsenal ???? c'mon, not even close
