L: So they have weapons in the main security office.
J: And in the booths. Shotguns.
L: Do any of the Scientology executives, like Miscavige or Rath…
J: Every one of them has extensive… I know David Miscavige has at least 3 or 4 gun cabinets full of all different kind of rifles, hand guns, this type of thing. Norman Starkey, the same, he even has an elephant gun there, that just knocks you away. L. Ron Hubbard was fascinated with guns. Richard Aznaran, his first introduction to doing something with L. Ron Hubbard that I know of, besides being his personal secretary, was to be his gun IC. This was to take the extensive amount of guns he has, which I would say would be over 40, 50 guns and rifles, and make sure that they’re cleaned, buy new ones. He would go up there and test them. People in RTC would buy him guns, he would shoot them and say, “Oh, this is really nice.” It was definite gun activity.
L: Were there any military weapons?
J: Yeah. [BOTH TALKING AT ONCE] R-18s, mini-14’s.
L: Uzi’s, anything like automatic or semi-automatic illegal guns.
J: All of them were semi-automatic that I knew of. I didn’t know of any fully-automatic weapons. The Uzi’s, yep.
L: They had Uzi’s?
J: David Miscavige has an Uzi.
