Interesting that this story/event has stuck around so long, that was 8 or 9
years ago! Just as a correction, we were not tracking semi-trailers with the
main gun, just the (1) law inforcement vehicle, and it was a good chewing out
(not only from the officer, but Dad was just a little ticked off also). As I
look back on it now, it was a very foolish thing to do, even in jest. We
still take the Saladin out for the occasional ride, but not as much as we used
to.
As to other situations, we have run the Saladin, Ferrets, Dingo's, M3A1 scout
car (with dummy .50 or .30) and all sorts of other vehicles with
inactive/replica weapons, and never had any problems, but caution and common
sense are the watchwords. Most of the time now when we are out & about, any
removable arms are stowed until we get to the show or event, and then brought
out for display.
Regards,
P.J. Thompson
