South Texas man charged with having rocket launcher

PORT LAVACA — A 31-year-old man was arrested Tuesday by federal agents and sheriff's officials acting on a tip that the convicted burglar had a rocket launcher.

Paul Henry Ledwik was arrested without incident on a felon in possession of firearms warrant issued by a federal judge in Corpus Christi.

He was being held in the Aransas County Jail, awaiting transfer to a federal court appearance in Corpus Christi, officials said. Jail officials did not make Ledwik available for comment. They didn't have information on whether Ledwik had an attorney.

Calhoun County Sheriff B.B. Browning said he notified federal agents about the rocket launcher after hearing about it from someone who saw it in Ledwik's apartment.

"It's a shoulder firearm, a one-time rocket launcher," federal agent Rick Miller said in a story for Wednesday editions of the Victoria Advocate. "You use it once and throw it away. To my knowledge, there's no way to reload it. It wouldn't fire again."

Miller is acting agent in charge of the Corpus Christi office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Members of the Sheriff's Office SWAT team and ATF agents seized the launcher, four rifles, a handgun and several boxes of ammunition.

Browning said Ledwik is "a man who loves guns and loves to hunt, but he's not supposed to be doing it. He can't even get a hunting license, but he hunts anyway. I have no idea where he gets the guns."

Ledwik has served prison time for 10 convictions of burglary in Calhoun County, officials said.

What is his screen name?

An legal empty tube is going to cost this idiot 5years.....


Hint... If you are a prohibited person and insist on owning firearms... don't attract attention!

BTW what was the screenname

Yeah he is fucked

The question is a spent launch tube considered a firearm?

Quoted: Quoted: What is his screen name? Why would you think he would be a member here?

You've been here for going on 7 years and you've never seen anyone ask that anytime someone gets busted for having an illegal NFA item, too large of a gun or ammo stash?

No but the 4 rifles and handgun are....

"...shall not be infringed." How fucking simple can it be?

When Rocketlaunchers are outlawed, only outlaws will have Rocketlaunchers.

My other vehicle is tank.

Remember the Alamo- if only they had Rocketlaunchers!

That's not a weapon, this Rocketlauncher is a weapon!

Box-O-Truth and Rocketlaunchers.

Your complaining about ammo prices? Try feeding a Rocketlauncher!

This home is guarded by a Rocketlauncher three days a week- guess which three!

Mess with a bull, you'll get shot with a rocket!

IWB and Rocklaunchers, needed or just overcompensating?

That's not a Rocketlauncher- this is a Rocketlauncher!

You can take my Rocketlauncher from my COLD DEAD HANDS!

My Rocketlauncher, MOLON LABE!!!!

What do you mean some idiot made a pistol with one of these- now I can't own steel core?

I have no idea where he gets the guns.

My apologies.  My post was made in jest.  

Funny in a way.  The rocket launcher was probably the only thing legal in his apartment.  Moral, don't make the sheep nervous I guess.

some people are just slow I guess...

Port Lavaca, nice place, nice people, lived there  and was a cop years ago. Nobody likes people that steal their property. Mr. Multi-time convicted burglas needs the rocket tube stuck up his ass and filled with lead to anchor him in one spot....The Texas Department of Corrections !!

Quoted: The question is a spent launch tube considered a firearm?

No...

But a loaded one is, and the report was 'man with a rocket launcher'....

For you or me, it would have been 'no trouble'...

For a 10-time felon, it's big trouble when as a result of that call the cops find his other weapons...

NO...

MORAL: Don't be a thief - especially a really shitty thief who gets caught 10 times, and still doesn't understand that whole 'obey the law' thing....
