They've been pushing a law in Cali (SB 1070 I think? maybe I'm wrong) that would require all bb, airsoft and air guns to be made of clear plastic.
I wouldn't be suprised if SF already has a similar law on the books, or maybe airguns are banned outright.

>I smell a lawsuit in San Franciscos near future.
Oh, I certainly hope so.

Some kids get all the cool toys.In the mid-1960's, my favorite uncle (who was a LtCol in the Reserve and a civilian employee at the Rock Island Arsenal) gave me a fired LAW... I was definitely the only kid in town with one. Oh, the chagrin when the front sight flipped up one too many times and broke!
The nannies of today would crap cinder blocks if they saw the "playing army" gear of the prepubescent set in those days.

You should have seen the Army Surplus stores of the 1950s and early 1960s, the collection of demilitarized machine guns from around the world was incredible, and I think went for like 30 and 40 dollars for the common ones if I remember right.

Probably a demil’ed LAWS rocket tube that you can buy at most gunshows and surplus military stores. Basically he was arrested for scaring a liberal.

I haven’t seen a spent LAW tube for sale in years. I was told that at some point the Army started ordering they be destroyed immediately after firing...material for boobytraps and all that.
Last time I saw any for sale, the prices were well into the hundreds.

It’s an empty fiberglass tube.

The replica is of no use, the BB gun is too small, but the anti-tank gun is just right.

Colton (Southern California - close to San Bernardino), where the arrested were found is 435 miles from San Francisco.
Are you saying they are going to sue the paper?
To: cripplecreek
Had been fired when? In Desert Storm? I think they sell those things as paperweights in Army Surplus Stores.
To: MeganC
What’s next? If I have a spent roman candle tube in my trunk, they will arrest me for transporting fireworks?
Maybe classing empty beer cans as “open containers” set a precedent.

I’d rather have a tank with an anti-apartment gun.
