Redondo Beach woman, 2 others arrested; More than 22 guns seized
Some people have inquired about a raid Wednesday at a house in the 600 block of El Camino Real in Redondo Beach.
It took me a while to figure out who conducted the raid. Turns out it was Long Beach PD.
Here's the basics from Long Beach police spokeswoman Nancy Pratt. A full story will come later to dailybreeze.com and the Daily Breeze Friday paper.

Long Beach police got information that a woman was selling guns illegally in their city.
Their investigation led them to the Redondo Beach house. They served a search warrant there. From there, they were directed to a Torrance house. They did not release the address.
By the end of the case, they arrested three people and seized 22 handguns, rifles and assault weapons and a large supply of ammunition.
Tania McCree, 36, of Redondo Beach was arrested on suspicion of possession of an assault weapon, possession of a controlled substance while armed, and possession of a controlled substance.
Anjelica Quijada, 29, of El Segundo was arrested on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm, on a probation violation and warrants charging her with burglary and driving without a license.
Emmet Flores, 32, of Santa Monica was arrested on suspicion of being a felon and convicted person in possession of a firearm.
Most of the weapons were registered to one of McCree's deceased family members. She was allegedly selling them, but that's illegal without going through proper procedures.

I am not a lawyer but I thought that private party gun sales within the state is perfectly legal without going through a ffl. this is the so called "gun show loophole"
however, it is never legal to knowingly sell a firearm or ammo to a convicted felon.
Wasn't me and I'm laying low.
Larry, inquiring minds want to know. Who exactly picked the cheesy stock graphic for the front page article? Will you take the fall for this one? If not, please tell us. We want names.
