Man 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.

Must have been a few gunshows this weekend.

I used to carry one, (empty) slung across my back on a regular basis while riding my bicycle in Western Kansas.

It made those truckers think twice about turning me into roadkill.

Ummm, quick question.

Under what authority did the cops seize a non-weapon in a non-crime?

[Hi Heels]

HAHAHAHAhaahah.... Unloaded, though, a round rock would be more useful.
