from what I've heard they were forcibly entering some homes with breaching tools supplied by the military and using a locksmith for some. They claim to only have taken guns left out in the open while they were in the process of looking for survivors...ie: the gun grabbing was incidental to other tasks, and that they did not go looking through closets etc specifically looking for guns, although one of the members on the forum has already noted that they took his sons rifle from a case that was in the corner of a closet in a hard case behind clothes and covered with a blanket. Guns locked in safes/cabinets were apparently left alone. As far as anyone knows so far anyway.
Gun grabbing was done 4 days after evacuation, and before anyone was allowed to return to their homes.
They also claim that they did NOT sniff any panties left behind unless they were out in the open.
Firearms owners are cautioned to throw away their toothbrushes and are not to use them under any circumstances.
