Stop complaining! It meets the minimum requirements that were asked for.

Well, it isn’t technically a gun, but I think they’d better give the man his sneakers...

They find a missile launcher in a shed near one of the busiest international airports in the world and all they can say is “You never can tell what you’re going to get?” Come’on Forrest. Get your head out of your rear and figure out why there was a stray missile launcher nearby!

"..Before going under cutting torches, guns that work will be test fired so the bullets and cartridges can be compared to evidence in unsolved murder cases, they said..."
Bet sombody will regret turning in the gun.

It was probably a liberal who misplaced one of his monthly contributions to Al Qaeda. :)
Or a pro-gun conservative who was overcompensating :)

You are right. Doesn’t anyone else see that as a problem?

Orlando police ask for guns, get missile launcher Some people have all the luck. I am lucky to get new arrows for my bow when I ask.

An unblemished 1903 .32-caliber Colt pistol caught the eye of a knowledgeable deputy who checked the Internet and found it was worth about $1,400. AAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!

After hefting the weapon designed to blow jets out of the sky, police spokeswoman Sgt. Barbara Jones commented: "I tell you, you never know what you're going to get." Well SHAZAM Sgt Carter!!

I would not say Ocoee is near the Orlando Airport, but one would think post 9-11 someone would want to find out who left that there.
It could have been a bit of misplace military hardware or it might have been something very disconcerting.

I would be looking into this one. Jeez.....
To: Blogger
Unless it actually has a missile inside, it is just a fiberglass tube.
It looks more like the expended launch tube of a disposable anti-tank rocket. They make great souvenirs — but they aren’t dangerous.
