MAHOPAC — Police investigating a survivalist’s shotgun death at his Mahopac home found grenades, tracer rounds, gunpowder, blasting caps, military ordnance and a large number of automatic weapons and ammunition, Carmel police said.

Jonathan Orser, 41, a former Marine, also had a full-size Army tank in the backyard of his home at 303 E. Lake Blvd., Carmel Police Chief Michael Johnson said. The tank has rubber wheels and its gun barrel is plugged.

The tank is legal, Johnson said, but many of the weapons and explosives police removed from the house were not.

Johnson said that among the items police removed were “over 100 firearms, rifles and shotguns, 15,000 to 20,000 rounds of ammunition, buckets of black (gun) powder, hand grenades” and military ordnance. Some of the rifles were automatic, he said.

The discovery of the explosives prompted evacuations in the neighborhood and calls to the Westchester County Bomb Squad, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and an Army ordnance unit from Fort Drum.

Rubber tires and a plugged barrel? Scares me for sure.
