If you're going to shoot a piece of lawn equipment, use something that won't land you in fpmitap. :o

that looks like a tow up old man :uhhok:

uh... why did he go to jail? It's his property, his gun... i don't get it.

Intoxicated...firearm...within city limits

Oh, ok.

He looks like a pretty upstanding and classy guy. I am sure they will cut him a break. :hsdunno:

Should have went office space on that lawnmower instead.

I say :bs: gun owners are all responsible and they only have gun to protect them and their families.

not to mentioned "short barreled shotgun" which i really doubt he had a stamp for.

I understand his frustration... :o
