Guns and more guns.

Actually more than 30 were owned by John Dimarhos a Salisbury convicted felon.

He was arrested on September 12th by the Maryland Natural Resources Police after a routine check on the hunter.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that he told the publication he would fight the 14 felony and misdemeanor gun charges.

He told the paper that they were given to him from a relative who recently died and that he kept them for sentimental reasons.

Felons are now allowed to own guns under federal and state law unless their records have been expunged.

The hunter has been released from the Wicomico County Jail.
