Tampa Bay Rays Evan Longoria says only that stolen AK-47 rifle was a
personal item.
PORT CHARLOTTE — Among the items stolen Saturday from the Port
Charlotte rental home shared by three prominent Tampa Bay Rays
was an AK-47 rifle belonging to star third baseman Evan Longoria.

Longoria declined Monday to elaborate on why he had the gun, which
is commonly referred to as an assault rifle.

"It's a personal item," Longoria said. "Obviously, they (authorities)
are going to say things that are taken. I think everything within the
house is personal, and we'll just leave it at that."
這是一個私人物品，”龍哥說。
The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office, which released the information,
said the gun was "perfectly legal" and "absolutely, perfectly legitimate,
fully documented," said public information officer Bob Carpenter.

The investigation into the midday break-in at the house shared by Longoria,
ace pitcher David Price and shortstop Reid Brignac is continuing.
The Sheriff's Office said the thieves gained access to the house,
on Fernwood Street near the Charlotte Sports Park, through an unlocked
window. The players were at the stadium for their game at the time.
Police put a $56,000 estimate on the value of the stolen items, which
the players said also included a 60-inch flat-screen TV, three iPads,
two Xbox game systems, cash, Price's laptop and several of Price's fancy
watches.

"It's definitely something that, obviously, you never want to have
happen to you or your friends," said Longoria, who recently had a
classic car stolen from the lot of an Arizona refurbishing shop.
"It's just twice in the past month … for me that something has been
taken. All of us hope that justice is served for them. And I think
we're all just happy that everybody is safe and nobody was injured."

Two Tampa Bay area gun experts said the main use of the AK-47,
a high-powered rifle first made in Russia, is for recreational
shooting, such as at a range.
兩個槍枝專家說，老俄造的AK-47主要是為娛樂事業拍攝所用。
"The only time a person would need a rifle of that magnitude
(outside a range) is if they're fending off zombies," said Fritz Casper,
an instructor at Shooting Sports, a N Dale Mabry Highway gun range and shop
in Tampa.
專家又說“一個人是需要一把AK-47，如果他們要抵抗殭屍的話"

The AK-47 is a common choice for gun enthusiasts, he said, mostly
because it is cheap, available for as little as $300 to $400.
AK-47價格便宜，300美元到400美元。
"It's a ubiquitous gun," Casper said. "It's inexpensive. It's simple to use.
It's simple to fix."
這是一枝無所不在的槍，”專家說道。 便宜，簡單易修。
Dennis Patriarca, owner of the VIP Security Training school in Tampa,
said the AK-47 is "a good protection gun, but it's mainly a recreational-type
thing."

For many gun owners, Casper said, it's not about need but want.
"If a dude wants to be cool and goes and gets a Corvette, it has nothing
to do with the fact that he's going to go take that Corvette and go race
at 165 mph," Casper said. "It's like that. Shooting guns is fun. An AK-47
is fun."
對於許多槍支所有者而言，擁有AK-47不是需要，而是想要
And they can be a collector's item, said Patriarca, who has one but
doesn't fire it.
收藏家擁有AK-47是收藏，不會拿來點放
Meanwhile, Longoria said the incident will not be a distraction for
the upcoming season, which starts Friday."This is, hopefully, just
a one-day thing where we talk about this and leave it behind us," he
said in Tampa before Monday's game with the Yankees was rained out.
"We didn't lose anything that is going to prevent us from playing
baseball. That's the focus, and, hopefully, we can find out who did
this and move forward from there."
龍哥認為開季不會受影響
