The late Charleston Heston was a firm NRA supporter. He really believed in private ownership, yada, yada. Long story short, here's what he had. This IMHO isn't your typical local guy with a shotgun or two and maybe an old WWII piece now and then.

Google for various sources on the topic, but he really got to hand it to him. He wasn't about to go hunting for some rabbbbit. -----Willy

was from the 1860s. I was thinking that such a basement wouldn't have even been in a home of this vintage and would have needed to have been dug more recently...not that it couldn't have been. I know there were cellars in older homes and some were accessed from outside the house but these tended to be small and specifically purposes. A full basement was probably uncommon and in some areas not even possible. Homes with basements are basically swimming pools with houses built on top of them.

...and was one reason I decided to snope it out. I considered it was possible after noting how wonderful the house upkeep was, that maybe foundation remodeling had happened and a full cellar was added. I've seen houses up on huge steel beams with new foundations being built under them, usually in older antebellum areas where preservation is the rage, and sometimes they add a cellar then. The other thing was the plane, I didn't know if Heston was a pilate or not, but figured I'd check out the story anyway.

But I don't think I'd want to ask Mr. Heston where he did his "pilate" training.

Meanwhile, Heston?s home and ultimate sanctuary is brimming with memorabilia of his remarkable Hollywood years. He and his wife have lived in the same house near Los Angeles?s Mulholland Drive for more than 40 years.
Built by the actor?s father after Heston won the Academy Award for best actor in 1959?s Ben-Hur, the postmodern style home ? inside and out ? is filled with the memorabilia of one of Hollywood?s most fabulous runs.

He obviously was buying the idea it was Heston's place. And your post was below mine as well, and you bought it too.
Game over.

You're saying the 2nd link shows it wasn't Heston's place.
Yep. But whoever, he was/is still tooled up.

putting 'em back together. I really enjoy old and unusual weapons. I just don't see that registering the weapons makes any difference, except to make it easier to establish the origin of a weapon used in a crime.
