Blah blah. Guy sounds like an attention whore.
He shoulda had it in the back of a white Toyota pickup in a fake launcher.
When the Cubans were training in the Florida Everglades to overthrow Castro a couple guys went in their passenger car on the highway with a bazooka visible in the back:
A police officer pulled them over but had to let him go.
A bazooka is a single-shot weapon, all of which regardless of size were then legal at that time in Florida.
Only in FloriDUH
I’m sure many people blinked. But then you move on. You can’t do an hour on the freeway without seeing something weird, if you made a fuss every time you’d never get to your destination.
Dialog of the day;
I said to her ‘Do you see what’s beside me?’
She replied blankly; ‘Do you want small or large’.
She may have been as cute as Maria Harf, and probably has guys trying all kinds of ice breakers and conversation starters at her window. “Don’t react to their bluster, don’t take the bait!” This guy was too old, so no way would he be getting her phone number.
I heard some high power rocketry guys got pulled over in DC by the Secret Service last year transporting some large rockets to a high power launch called Red Glare. The Secret Service checked them out and let them go.
Here is a sample of what they fly there.

Well, at least he had it seat belted, properly. :-/
Good luck with the launch!
I used to keep a spent LAWS rocket on the rifle rack in my pickup just for fun. Had a State Trooper start to pass me one day. He saw it, slowed down to get a better look, then laughed and shook his head and went by. That was 25 years ago. Not sure I’d get the same reaction now.
Florida’s open carry, right?
The only thing surprising about not getting stopped is Florida is not an open carry state.
Thanks for posting. I actually laughed out loud at that one.
I'm sure you're wrong. /s
Joe Dirt?
Yeah, if the launch spring was cocked, and rust compromised the structural integrity, people could get hurt if it let loose or broke apart.
Is that a photo from the story? because that looks to be and air to air Sidewinder.. not some air to ground like the story spoke of
