BB gun....sheesh. Maybe going to do a bit of damage to a sign or two but a BB gun? lol. We used those big time when I was a kid. People are too sensitive now a days. These guys should not be arrested for using a 2nd Amendment right. What a disaster America is becoming.

The BB was for one of two things ~ possibly to shoot rats on the roof. Nothing like a rat bite to mess you up. Or, to shoot at glass bottles filled with flammable liquid that's been fused to ignite if percussed.

I'd be looking around for the empty bottles ~

A BB gun paired with a machete, pry bar, tin snips, AND they’re on the roof of a parking garage near Tropicana field where the RNC kick-off/welcome party starts tonight.

Law-abiding gun owners and concealed carriers are not going anywhere near these events, and the police know it. My cousin’s husband is a Tampa cop and has told everyone in our family that if they don’t have business in Tampa this week, stay far away from it.

I’ll be heeding that advice.

Association my friend is part of the law in this state when it involves the commission of breaking the law. The reality is the police most likely saved their worthless lives by running across them first. A competent CCW holder would not have been so “understanding” if that BB gun was to be brandished.

They weren't. What were they charged with? How can you be legally arrested for exercising a right. They simply showed how terminally stupid they were. On roof, with gun (or what looks like a gun) near a convention. If they shot at someone, they may have been killed for a terminally stupid prank.

Shaw, listed as a transient from Largo, was arrested on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon. Swanson was arrested on charges of possessing burglary tools, violating an injunction and being a delinquent felon in possession of a weapon.

I admit that a BB gun is a stretch as a concealed weapon, but he certainly did not have a permit. And the article mentioned an anti-government T-shirt, bet it was not a T-party T-shirt. These are Leftie paid useful idiots. And STUPID.

Here's a harmless little Air-rifle "the Condor" will shoot the 14.3-grain .22 Crosman Premier at velocities of around 1,250 f.p.s. for the first five shots! The first 15 shots will usually be faster than 1,200 f.p.s., and even shot 20 will usually still be above 1,175.

That just might be a little mischievous for a kid's BB gun.

here's a harmless little bb-gun pistol that put out a round at about 1000 fps.
