White house 
 
 A man found with three guns was arrested near the Capitol Building early Tuesday after he stopped an officer to ask for directions to the White House. 
 
 Steve Randall Oney approached an officer about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday on the 100 block of Independence Ave SW and asked where the White House was located, according to court documents. 
 
 Oney told the officer he was visiting the area for the night and that he was in the process of moving, adding that everything he owned was in his late model Ford pickup truck with a Tennessee license plate. 
 
 The officer noticed a propane tank and what appeared to be an ammunition box in the back of the truck. He asked Oney if he had any weapons in the vehicle, and the suspect acknowledged he had two guns in the front of the truck and one in the back, court documents say. 
 
 Oney gave the officer permission to search the vehicle. According to prosecutors, officials found a .44 caliber revolver, a loaded .22 rifle and a 7 mm Remington rifle. The truck also contained a knife and three boxes of ammunition. 
 
 Oney was arrested and charged with carrying a pistol without a license, and possessing an unregistered firearm and unregistered ammunition.

 Court documents say Oney said he was unfamiliar with D.C. gun laws. 

 A man from the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee was arrested this week after police said he drove into the District with a pickup full of weapons and a propane tank, then asked an officer for directions to the White House. 
 
 The 59-year-old man, identified as Steve Randall Oney of Sevierville, Tenn., told police he was moving and had stopped in the District for an overnight visit. Police said he pulled his truck over on Independence Avenue, got out and asked an officer, “Where’s the White House?” 
 
 Authorities did not say whether they think there was an ulterior motive. Oney was charged with carrying a gun without a license and released from custody on Wednesday with orders from a judge to stay away from all congressional buildings.

 Oney could not be reached for comment. His lawyer, Joel R. Davidson, said there is no indication his client was planning an attack. “He asked to see where the various sights were,” Davidson said, adding that in addition to the White House, Oney wanted to see the Washington Monument. “He has talked to me,” Davidson said. “There is nothing that he has said that I find alarming.” 
 
 Authorities said in an arrest affidavit that Oney stopped his Ford pickup truck about 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday and approached a U.S. Capitol Police officer. “The defendant stated he was visiting the area for the night and wanted to see the White House,” the affidavit says. Oney told police “he was moving and had everything he owned in the truck.” 
 
 According to the court document, the officer saw a propane tank in back of the truck and what appeared to be an ammunition box. Police searched the vehicle and reported finding a .44-caliber revolver, unloaded and in a holster, a .22-caliber rifle with a scope, a 7mm rifle, a knife with a 12-inch blade, ammunition boxes filled with hundreds of rounds and three percussion caps.
– Some guys will never ask for directions, and some guys just shouldn't. An example of the latter: The driver of an out-of-state pickup pulled over his truck in Washington, DC, about 2:30am Tuesday and approached a police officer to ask, "Where's the White House," reports the Washington Post. The officer saw a propane tank and what looked like an ammunition box in the truck, and a subsequent search turned up a .44-caliber revolver, a loaded .22-caliber rifle with a scope, a 7mm rifle, a 12-inch knife, and lots of ammunition. Police charged Steve Oney of Seviervielle, Tennessee, with carrying a gun without a license and with having an unregistered firearm and ammunition, reports NBC Washington. Authorities aren't saying they think Oney was up to anything—he explained that he was just passing through while moving and wanted to see the sights. He's out of luck, though: A judge freed him yesterday with a warning to stay away from congressional buildings.
