Illegal Immigrant Stung Buying Grenade Launcher in South Texas
Breitbart ^ | 13 Feb 2017 | ILDEFONSO ORTIZ

Agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosive arrested 31-year-old Oscar Fredy Garcia last week near Los Fresnos, Texas, during the failed purchase of an M-203 grenade launcher, court records revealed. Garcia is listed as an illegal immigrant from Mexico.

The case began on February 6 when Garcia met with an undercover ATF agent to purchase the grenade launcher and three AK-47 rifles at a price of $5,000. During the meeting, Garcia gave the undercover agent $300 as a down payment. Another ATF agent wrote in the criminal complaint that Garcia revealed he was purchasing the weapons for a man named Oscar Garcia Mendez. It remains unclear if Garcia Mendez has been arrested in connection with the case.

An M-203 is a grenade launcher that fires 40mm rounds. Versions of the weapon can be used as a stand alone or can be attached to rifles such as AR-15s.

Neighborhood kid in the USMC was taken off Humvee driving duty in Afghanistan because he was too aggressive. So they made him gunner and gave him a (MK19?) 40 mm Automatic Grenade Launcher. Love it.

Is it the launcher or the ammunition that is controlled?

Not sure if my boy shot one in basic or Marine Combat Training. He had a free shot at the end, so he shot one from the hip, paintball style. Managed to get it inside the hole of an old tank hulk that didn’t have a turret. Instructor muttered “Good shot, Marine”. Memories ...

Close is better than a direct hit if you use a grenade launcher for hunting.

Somebody tell this idiot that he was just in the wrong county.

If he would go to Travis County, Sheriff Sally Hernandez will personally assure his safety and security, and if he needs to molest a child, well...she'll help out there, too.

Oh, Texas, what have you become?

My Yugo SKS has a grenade launcher, but I’m fresh out of grenades. Read somewhere it was made so that the Warsaw Bloc plan was to use captured NATO grenades.
My migraine is gone. Thank gooness.

Choppy?

“Tenderized”, not choppy. It’s all about how you present it.
