Displaying a fake firearm???????????What the hell is that.......I guess if
you have a real firearm in the back window of your truck you get charged
with displaying a real firearm?.........sounds like a Cop as a "make your
own case" and we will sail it past the local prosecutor and see if he
bites.......
Love it.....
Made a trip to Knob Creek in April......had the M3AT gun on my 16 foot car
hauler. Tied down.....registered and legal. A local officer stopped by as
we were getting ready to leave the shop for Kentucky. He needed parts for
their department MP5s...so I opened back up and got him his parts......he
said..".WOW...Ill bet you get pulled over alot on your way there.....with
that thing on the trailer."........??? I replied," No...have done this trip
5 times with the AT gun ......never pulled over.....for anything...the
Illinois and Indiana State police just wave"........he said, "No Way...I
can't believe that...then it hit me.............He would pull me
over....and jack my ass....over having the M3 on my trailer......Hummmmmmm
I remember hauling 3- B-61 Practice Nukes on the same trailer......12 foot
long each on skids......pretty impressive...big fins..warheads......lots of
fancy stenciling............around 850 lbs each.......I trailered one all
the way to Northern Indiana from St Louis......never a problem.....
Poor guy in Ct........must have been a slow day in West
haven...............Breach of the peace........what a joke....must be alot
of dumb asses living around there.............Ohhhhhh the town is being
invaded.......I'll bet he was driving one of those really huge and
intimidating M5 Stuarts...........what a joke.
