Everybody and their mother has a gun in northern Maine.

DNRTFA, but I feel the same way about my Reese's Pieces.

Sounds black

Turno said the boys got the weapons from their grandfather without permission.

Grandpaw needs a fine or some jail time and the loss of his guns to teach him more responsible gun ownership. The careless old fart just makes life harder for the many gun owners who act responsibly.

CSB time:

On Halloween some kids knock on the front door. The SO opened it to find a water gun pointed at her. It did startle her for a millisecond. Good thing it wasn't real cause I had my Sig holstered next to me at the time.

This is what happens to our youth when they listen to that rap music

sometimes you feel like a felon. sometimes you don't.

Did she feel lucky?

And what exactly is the problem here?

Sounds like a little thug in training.

pete? Meet Re-pete

BeezyBates: Sounds black

No, just a redneck part of town.

/wife is from Aiken

Suspect:

scottydoesntknow: Ehhh I killed a man for a Klondike Bar, so not too much different.

What would you do-ooo-oooo

/impressed

FTFA: "According to Aiken Public Safety Lt. David Turno, the clip was not in the gun at the time, but the boy did have a loaded clip in his possession."

Ugh, do we have to go over this again? Clip vs magazine mix up is getting old...

The boy's brother, also 10

Twins?

BeezyBates: Sounds black

As soon as the article mentioned the kid was handed over to his parents, I knew he was white.

Jeebus, this sounds like one of my previous placements. I'd better go check and see if his case worker has been trying to get in touch.

When I was a kid, a neighbor that was a good friend of the family did the "jump out of the bushes with a hockey mask and axe" trick and swung at my dad. No where close to hitting him as it was a joke, but startled my dad so bad he decked the guy. He felt like crap when he found out and said he thought he had just missed, not that he was kidding.

A black kid in Georgia? Unpossible!!

I agree. I mean one is for reading and one is for your hair.

Obviously. I don't see how people could confuse the two.

Was it a Glock?

Sybarite: A 10-year-old Aiken trick-or-treater pulled a gun on a woman who said she would take his candy on Halloween.

This seems like a proportionate response.



"Suck my fat one, you cheap dime store hood"

What this article doesn't state is that the kid pulled a Tec-9 which is this..

lordaction: What this article doesn't state is that the kid pulled a Tec-9 which is this..

In which case the woman had nothing to fear. Biggest POS firearm I've ever owned or fired. But it looks cool...

I think I might have been able to fire 2/3 of the magazine without a jam, once, in 1995 or so.

Boy it sure is.

CLIP
A device for holding a group of cartridges. Semantic wars have been fought over the word, with some insisting it is not a synonym for "detachable magazine." For 80 years, however, it has been so used by manufacturers and the military. There is no argument that it can also mean a separate device for holding and transferring a group of cartridges to a fixed or detachable magazine or as a device inserted with cartridges into the mechanism of a firearm becoming, in effect, part of that mechanism.

This

That

There is a difference.

lordaction: What this article doesn't state is that the kid pulled a Tec-9 which is this..

[webpages.charter.net image 640x480]

In which case the woman was completely safe, as Tech9s are notoriously shiatty firearms with a bad tendency to not function.

Hyppy: Bruxellensis: (back and forth about the clip/magazine war)

There is a difference.

Okay, bub. You keep on your lonely semantic pedestal, the rest of the world is moving on.

Whatever you say, boss.

It's like saying there's a difference between a yam and a sweet potato. While technically true, the terms have been used interchangeably for so long that on insufferable pendants try to force the issue. Or are you just soooo much more informed than the people at the NRA?

Maybe the NRA needs to edit all the Wiki articles to clear up this obvious confusion?

Yeah, I bought one used for $250 a couple of years ago and ended up giving away it was so shiatty. All it did was jam.

Another Government Employee: Except this is in South Carolina.

And they don't have black people in SC. They still have The Colored.

I've tried to get the angel to watch MTV so I can learn the vocabulary of your music, but even with the gift of tongues, I'm having trouble learning to speak hip-hop. Why is it that one can busta rhyme or busta move anywhere but you must busta cap in someone's ass? Is "ho" always feminine, and "muthafarka" always masculine, while "biatch" can be either? How many peeps in a posse, how much booty before baby got back, do you have to be all that to get all up in that, and do I need to be dope and phat to be da bomb or can I just be "stupid"? I'll not be singing over any dead mothers until I understand."

What confusion? Did anyone not know what TFA was referring to?

/Language (especially english) changes and evolves. Deal with it.
//Or, keep farking that chicken. Whatever makes you happy.

I guess you better inform the gun forums. Thanks for the English lesson.

For some reason, the idea of a Flintglock cracked me up. Well played.
