“AK-47-style semiautomatic pistol”
I want one.
“”a camouflage jacket, military boots and a black skull cap” “
Sounds like a cop.

LOL I almost bought one of those for my kids.
There is a whole thread on this incident and this guy at Glocktalk.

Seems the guy in question likes to incite crap. Not one to try and open carry quietly, he tries to cause incidents, then go and troll forums stirring things up more.
The act of painting the tip orange to make it seem like an airsoft gun or toy shows another twist to things that is not cool either.
While there are enough incidents of cops overreaching concerning people carrying weapons legally, please don’t lend this clown any credibility-he is seeking more than a confrontation to prove his rights, like other carry advocates-he is seeking it to cause trouble.
My 2 cents.
The cop’s comment from the police forum is so indicative of many police attitudes; “sneeze and I’ll blow your s#$% away.” A policeman has no right to commit an assault with a deadly weapon any more than I do. These jack booted thugs are laid to rest for their unlawful acts.
I am not sure how i would rather be killed, by a policeman trying to shoot some one who had a gun that looked like a toy or by the man carring the gun that looked like a toy.
Its for sure if you carry a gun like that no one is going to try to rob you, but if some one is threatened by it they could end up killing you just out of panic, ( police or private person ).
If some one wants to kill you for any reason, a gun no matter how big will not save you except if you are aware of it. so i think a small hand gun is the only thing that makes any sense, because common sense tells me its just telling those would be muggers to leave you alone.
But if you are going to start a war then you would need a big weapon.
As you can probably tell, i am not a gun expert but i believe in the bill of rights and i believe any laws concerning the right to keep and bare arms is an infringement.
I smell a setup. Do something legal, have someone else cry to the Law about it, get a Legislator to ramp up the laws to crack down our Rights further.
Protections for our Rights are important specifically to protect some of those individual behaviors that might "scare the sheep" a bit.
Also, I've seen at least one person bring up the "fire in a theater" canard. People need to stop using that one. You cannot FRAUDULENTLY yell fire in a theater, but you damn well can if the theater is on fire. This isn't an infringement on speech, but an injunction against fraud and causing willful bodily harm.
Who is harmed by some idjit carrying a pistol like this? He walked past several people, without doing anything overt to scare them apparently, and is a known quantity in the community. A bit of a tard, but harmless.
Let's not fight our enemies battles for them.
After a long hiatus and great demand, the Thompson Pistol

Included with the Thompson TA5 is one of the most famous
accessories, the 50 round Drum magazine.
The authentic Drum is entirely U.S. manufactured to the
specifications that are as close as possible to the original.
A 30 round stick, 10 round and 100 round Drum magazine are optional.
