"Oh my dear god honey, look a big bad scary machine gun, call the Gestapo"

They say he was pointing it at people, I'd guess he wasn't. If he actually was, I could see the cause for alarm.

BAAAAAAA BAAAAAAAAAAAA scary, scary must call police. Sheesh what a bunch of turds.

America; a nation of butthurt whiners...

The man was seen waving a flag. Some of the officers saw the man wave a flag.

Wow...

Jeeze...If I saw that thing on the road, I'd probably scream 'FUCK YEAH' out of my window at him...not call the cops...

Oooooooo he's waving a flag, call the cops!

I remember seeing a special on people who had won the Lotto and they had a guy who owned a jeep just like that with a .30 cal mounted that he drove around. Wonder if its the same guy?

That Jeep looked alot newer than a 1956 Willys. I think 70' something, it has round hood and fenders..
Oh, and don't point that flag at me!

He would have been ok if it was the Mexican, or Palestinian flag. Just don't fly the US flag. Again just another sign of the times.

Why did the reporter feel the need to run the guy's plate and then announce his name? How did they get that info on a "Need to Know" basis?

I'd sue for invasion of privacy, he did not break the law, was unlawfully restrained and made a subject of public ridicule.

If the guy was actually pointing it at people he should have been arrested. I doubt he was pointing it at anyone though.

reminds me of the day i took my M35 to the DMV.... i got pulled over by 5 county units, because some stupid nosey cunt called 911 and reported a "stolen army truck that almost hit her car when she ran a red light"

the sheer stupidity

ETA: it's cool though, it's INERT so it won't be blowing up anytime soon..................

There was a guy with a jeep and a pintle mounted .30 that got arrested a couple years ago for a road rage incident, another driver claimed that he started screaming and pointed the gun at him at a stop sign.

This one is a clear overreaction, though.

in one of the threads here about buying old armor, someone posted a story about being pulled over while trailering their APC (?) somewhere. the reason given by the deputies was [to the effect of] "there has got to be something illegal about this".

How can you say over reaction? How are people driving by supposed to know it's inert? I pass a jeep like that I'm calling police or would you have me stop and wait to see if he opens fire? Too many nuts out there you never know. It's all over so it's easy to say they overacted because you know the actual outcome. I think he's a ass for doing what he did. Shit like this just adds fuel to the anti's rant.

i remember that, but atleast mine were cool enough to ask where to buy one when they found out it was privately owned... and their boss will sign off on ATF forms, so all is good

I respectfully disagree with you. Would you call the cops on someone who was open carrying a 1911 at McDonalds?
Would you call the cops on him if he was in a parade? Would you call the cops on me when I drive by on a motorcycle with an AR15 strapped across my back?

Yes there are so many nut jobs out there driving M38A1s with M2s on them shooting things up. If I see someone with a pointed stick or a banana should I call the cops?
