Related to the T18 with PVC Pipe. A Few years back a County Codes and Compliance guy wandered into my back yard. Seemed a nosy neighbor had complained that I had a cannon pointed toward their house. My first candid response was "Which One" (I had about ten assorted pieces or various sizes and at one point you have to place things like that under tarps in any manner to get them into a small yard as best as possible)
I once drove my brothers GPW with a "WOOD" dummy M2 he had built. It was so good a General on Aberdeen had once told him he could not have it and proceeded to chew on him till he got in "...but Sir it's wood...I made it in the craft shop on post..."
They are all over America, mislead by the media as saving the World from us dreadful maniacs with machine guns and rocket launchers. It's a product of our Society now.... In England (God I hate to admit it) they can drive around in Armoured vehicles and collect LIVE artillery all day long apparently, and the News pics up on it as a FUN hobby...
He walked behind the shed saw two, went with me around the corner saw another, the front yard had two on either side of the driveway pointed out, etc. Well long and short of it seems people save these theings up as "New Years" resolutions to get something off their list of "to do" stuff and he has to check things out.
I really wondered why a Codes Compliance guy would come out for a "Cannon pointed toward my house!" instead of the State or Local Police....ATF, etc.....
He went on his way and I assumed the very old (90+) Mother living in the converted Garage across the street that only had a view of our front yard was the Busy Body.
Anyway some old clown stopped me while driving his jeep and said I couldn't have the Ma Deuce "Period!" I went off on him about the 2d Ammendment, Legal rights of non-felons, fact I'm a Soldier, AND oh by the way,, it's wood.....
But they can't fire it...and we still can unless we let our guard down...That's why I display my gear openly every time I can. I've nothing to Hide... (and ironically the FBI seems to have me on speed dial now too....)
