AggieDave 6 #1 September 6, 2004 will have rocket launchers. http://www.nbc-2.com/News/stories/weirdnews.shtml#rocket QuoteMan brandishes rocket launcher during argument SYRACUSE, NY — A Syracuse, New York, man got the scare of his life when another man pointed a rocket launcher at him during an argument. Luckily, the weapon had already been used and was inoperable. Police say the two men were arguing when one of them pulled the rocket launcher out of his girlfriend's vehicle, pulled off the cap, extended the tube and pointed it at the other man. Police later seized the rocket launcher. No charges were filed. The man said the rocket launcher came from a friend who had used it in training at Fort Drum. Ha. Just had to post this. Moral of the story? How did that asshat get a girlfriend? Rocket launchers is one thing for a guy like that...but a girlfriend?--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

CornishChris 5 #2 September 6, 2004 How were no charges filed? It cant possibly be legal to have your own rocket launcher in the US? CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pdj6p 0 #4 September 6, 2004 Basically a peice of pipe is a rocket launcher. So if the pipe has no rocket in it it can't be considerd illeagle. Death is so permanant, and I'm just not ready for that kind of committment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenister 0 #5 September 6, 2004 actually it is improperly disposed ordinance and depending on your jurisdiction you can be arrested for possessing it... there was a case in AL while i was in high school where a national guardsman had made a waterpipe out of an expended LAW... then made the mistake of showing it around to all his buddies... what i wondering is iirc LAW's haven’t been used by the US army for awhile... i'd doubt it was fired at Ft. Drum recently, and its pretty obvious when they've been expended, particularly if its pointing at you.... I'd laugh at someone who pointed an expended LAW cartridge at me____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

It's legal to have all kinds of properly demilitarized and/or deactivated weapons. Heck, you can buy 50 caliber machine guns, so long as they no longer fire.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave, there are all kinds of losers running around with girlfriends even though they're total asshats. And there are lots of good guys who can't seem to meet a decent girl. Go figure.
