Sorry, I was wrong - Charles Ramsey is the new top cop in Philly. He was in DC when the last sniper was loose.
Nice picture and that is funny LOL!
Maybe they were on board the plane together, hmmmmm
Yep. I own one myself. Not much good beyond 100 yds though.
So any idiot that shoots at cars on the freeway is a “sniper” now?

Yes, I know the flint probably wouldn't clear the scope and the scope would mostly give a sight of the bell. It was intended to be as unworkable as fitting a scope to an ancient fowling piece.
No gun cleaning while driving.
If you rent a car at LAX and don't have a gun, they will issue you one. Does not apply to one-way rentals. Taxes and fees additional.
