While clearly nefarious, how much of that stuff is actually illegal? I know that weed and guns together are a no-no in California, but I only see ammo. I’m pretty sure it’s fine to have a machete in your car.

I feel like there’s a story here we’re never going to learn, unless there were any recent robberies by someone in a Chucky mask.
The cops always like to imply some sort of criminal narrative by presenting various “suspicious” items out-of-context, even when all of them are perfectly legal. In this case, seems like a few weren’t, but I’m suddenly imagining a scenario…
“Boy, all these items going to the smash room, gun range, locksmith, medical marijuana business and costume party sure seem suspicious together!”
“Ha ha, yeah! I hope I don’t get pulled over by the cops!”
“Ha ha ha! That would be bad!”

That’s a good question. I actually don’t see anything overly illegal, but my knowledge of CA specific laws is limited. I know you can’t CONCEAL large knives. He was on probation, so perhaps that makes some thing illegal. Certainly the ammo is illegal if hes a felon. They may have some other law where otherwise legal knives are illegal if you’re caught with drugs or in conjunction with criminal paraphernalia like a ski mask.
