Found this in this mornings paper;
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Defense attorneys said it was just a potato, Prosecuters argued it was a silencer. In the end, a jury decided a man who weilded a gun with a potato stuffed in the barrel was guilty of using a silencer-equipped gun in the commission of a drug crime - a conviction carrying a mandatory 25 year federal prison sentence.......In closing arguments, federal prosecuters said no expert testimony was necessary to establish the significance of affixing a potato to the gun's barrel. "It was'nt there to make french fries" prosecuter David A. Ring said. "Why else would he have done that?"
Vegetable registration is right around the corner guys! If you currently own an AR AND a potato, you might want to get that illegal silencer out of the house in a big hurry!
