Spot the Terrorist weapon!
I was just mailing off a package at the post office, waiting in line along with 23 million others in line. The Self serve machine was dead, so I couldn't use that.
While waiting I placed my keys on a counter top along with the package I was mailing. After at least 8-10 minutes I get called up, and mail my package. As I was leaving I see police standing outside the main lobby, looking in, along with a postal official.
Then I hear "Sir....could you please come here and keep your hands out and in plain sight."
I look at the cops, who nodded at me, and both cops immediately grab my hands and hold me in place.
"Sir, do you have any weapons on your person, like a gun, explosives or something that could be viewed as such?"
I blink..."Outside a couple knives and a Leatherman in a pouch...No."
Then I hear behind me a woman..."Thats him...check his coat pockets!"
The cops dig out my gloves, a pen and my keychain you see featured here. And then pat me down, removing my leatherman and Swiss army knife (Yet leave another Swiss army knife IN my pants pocket!)
I glance at the woman,visibly shaking, pointing at the keyring "Thats it!! See it?"
The cops look at the keyring carefully, look at each other, then ask me ..
"Sir, did you threaten or wave this around?"
"No, it sat on the counter until I was called up!"
The cop walked up to the woman...showed her the keyring, still shaking "But thats illegal isn't it? I mean he could kill somebody with that right?"
The cops shake their heads, reassuring the woman that the keyring was NOT going to kill anybody.
The Cops hand me back my keys and stuff, apologize and shake their heads as well, saying in effect they have to take all calls seriously. The Postal official looked oddly as well, Remembering me assisting the post office helping ID and catch a Vending machine thief a few years ago.
Yes...some people seriously need to take a chill pill and chill the fuck out!!

I figured it was the .44 round. But I know how you feel. I had the STG slung over my shoulder, magazine was in my pocket and it was oranged tipped.
I'm walking to my house and the town cop pulls his M9 and tells me st stand still and put my hands up. I'm shitting bricks as he comes over and takes the AIRSOFT gun and looks at it, then looks to this guy in the squad car. Cop sees that it's a replica and isnt even loaded. Asks me what it is, I tell him, and he asks me " So this isnt an AK-47?" I tell him nope and it's a pellet rifle. He hands it back to me and tells me to be mare careful and then goes to talk to the dumbfuck in the car.

Damn and I have a box of terrorist weapons behind me, I just have to open them ditch the cordite, pop the primers, drill the holes and put split rings in them I have 30!!! I could threaten a whole city!!!!
Can you sue people for being stupid? We could get rich off of that.
Or I could mow down the mall with my Nerf machine gun.

I'm not sure what's going on but you should immediately drive to the nearest McDonald's and ask for all the money in the register while waving the D-ring around. It seems to be intimidating enough.
Apparently this lady called the police and did not give the dispatcher any specifics to work on. That's retarded on the part of the cops.

YEW TURRIRIST, YEW!
I'm with TK; I would ENQUIRED IN A LOUD VOICE about the PENALTIES FOR FALSE ALARMS et cetera et cetera.
Even if the only result was one dimbulb thinking twice before hassling someone with a dud round on their keychain in future, it would have been worthwhile.

sounds like the ultra liberal people that tell you how much your going t hell and supporting murder because of wearing the ak-47 shirt I gave you. Trying to be a home town hero by buying into the media's speeches of believing your neighbor is a terrorist and you should call them in if they sneeze wrong.
What ever happened to common sense?
What ever happened to common sense?
Common sense was legislated out of existence because it did not serve the interests of the Plaintiff's bar or the Trial Lawyers Association, That and common sens is unfortunately too gender oppressive and heteronormative to be a societal standard acceptable to all races and genders. Pffff. Oh wait, you don't live in Madison, so you?
Let me guess...
The woman was about 5 foot nothing... long graying hair that looked unwashed for days, and about 68 to 72? Oh... and she wore "Flowers in her hair"?
Looks like she came in off of Telegraph Ave. in Berkeley?
YEP!!!
Seen flakes like this too.
You should have had the cops cite her for harassment... that would have really freaked her out!

Obviously the carabiner *yes I know it was the bullet*.
I like the fact tho, that the cops were polite, professional and apologized for the problem. I don't envy them in this day and age of 20 god damn law suits when they don't go "far enough" checking out Joe Blow walking down the street, and 20 more law suits when they check out Joe Blow who had nothing on him/going on.

The people in our country... Fuck me runnin' in the tall weeds. What the real bitch is, is she'd have you arrested for this and labeled a TURRURIST. But I bet if you had a CCW on you at the time, and had used it to saved her fat, gibbering ass with... She'd still bitch. James Madison himself said, "A government that doesn't trust its citizens to keep and bear arms is in itself not worthy of trust."
Reminds me of the TSA confiscating that NRA members "silver bullet" at an airport, it was a solid silver .45 lc bullet engraved with heston's signature.
On the flip side, remember one of the usual idiots going on in front of your table at AC '08 about his "plan" re: a certain then incumbent republican president, despite you pointedly informing him I was a fed.
All kinds of stupid people in the world.

Unfortunately the hollyweird media, which is where many of these idiots get all their knowledge of firearms have taken firearms out of the mental category of dangerous but useful tools and raised them to the category of dangerous talismans of evil killing power. I heard that there is a bill in the South Dakota legistature that requires all citizens to purchase a firearm suitable to their temperament and abilities on their 21st birthday. I think that having a mandatory firearms training requirement in the schools would do much to reduce the stupidity. Grade school, they get the Eddie Eagle training "Stop, don't touch, call an adult) Junior high gets a session with .22 rifles target shooting. It is, after all, an olympic sport. High school gets more .22 rifle marksmanship and pistol marksmanship, which is also an olympic sport.
too much ignorance, fear, uncertainty and doubt.
Also, if the gang bangers actually get some marksmanship training, maybe they will actually hit each other in their shootouts, not hit kids and bystanders blocks away with their misses.

Amigo the terror is great when it comes to a keychain. See that sharp looking key? You could do some serious epidermal damage with that, or even fuck someone's car up seriously.
If it makes you feel better I was stopped before because I had a concealed .22LR m1911 look-alike, even though it is completely legal in PA. I've also been stopped for carrying a paring knife in the restaurant I work at, unlocking a cash register, trying to help a lady when she fell down some stairs, stopping to help a guy on the side of the road (Really fun time), and giving alcoholics rides home for free. :D

Awww Rabbi! You know and I know that ANYTHING on that keychain with a metal edge on it could be a weapon IF one knows how to use it. STILL. I can sympathize with you over the unwarranted reaction by the woman who was visibly upset after seeing the bullet key fob. I'm assuming she more than likely called the police using a cell phone, as an excuse to exercise her "Power" and felt she was doing a "Good" thing. Now I know, and you know, and thank our lucky stars that perhaps the Police knew that a bullet cartridge cannot fire well with it's powder removed and it's casing drilled. Even with a viable primer, the explosive force would more likely blow out the holes in the sides over loosening the slug. I'm glad you kept a cool head in this instance, and yes... This anti-gun, or "Gun Equals Terrorist" thinking has gotten well out of hand.
I think people who "cry wolf" like that should at least receive a fine. There are some people I've heard about that abuse situations just like that. I want to say "Heavy fine" but I can already see the argument in my head about how that would discourage people from speaking out when they should. But ya. People. Fuck 'em.

Goddess...makes me wonder just what things will be like in your neck of the woods whenever they pass CCW. The Cops aren't going to have enough time to answer every call. I also blame Big Sis Napolitano for the hysteria with the "If you see something, say something" campain...Friggin Nazi propaganda.
We should bomb whatisface that was all pissy about

Kind of reminds me of the days when Diet Coke-cola first came out. I was drinking the stuff all the time. including while driving. since the can looked just like a 'Coors' can. cops were forever pulling me over on suspected drunk driving. Of course they never found anything.. I guess they were only doing their jobs tho a bit to rigorously. :P
Oh well. the Lady needs her brain examined if she thinks a bullet with a ring through it could be usable.

Oh wow first of all had to give it to you that is a thing one can see with such detail you gave and the cops being good sports about it in the end. Reminds me of something that happened locally a few years ago. an off duty policeman was heading home from a training range and some woman in the next lane saw pipe-bombs in a box on the passenger seat and called the police, only to get the off duty cop pulled over and let go because they were fake and he just was returning them the station after they did some training drills. The woman if i recall, the paper said did not want to comment on the incident. most likely too embarrassed that she saw fake bombs, the car and licensee but not once looked at the guy who was wearing a police training uniform with badge lol.
Also surprised not one comment had a blond joke lol.

That happened here in Madison a couple times....a 9MM bullet was laying in the middle of the street and somebody panicked and called the police, who came out in full bomb squad garb, blocking off the block. The technician came up...picked it up and simply tossed it to the Sergent in charge.
Another had a school shut down over a SPENT .22 casing found.

It's likely something like that is what caused me to miss my flight when I took a trip back in September. TSA had to check EVERY bag at the check in counter, stood in line for nearly two hours to get through security, rushed to the gate just in time to have them close the door in our faces. :( Because someone brought a souvenir 50 cal shell through security an hour earlier. At least that's what I heard some of the TSA guys muttering. People way over react to things like a simple cartridge. If people were just a little more educated about firearms, there'd be no need for security measures like that, let alone knee-jerk reactions from jerks.
I bet she drove a Prius.

I always keep my keys on my belt loop. But yes tis sad. People i the past few years, in the western world, have been conditioned to be paranoid in general. A side effect of mass consumer news media. So people that are actually paranoid are scared shitless by comparison. But yah that woman needs to get help.
I wonder how she'd react if she knew the police next to her had full magazines of those on them, plus the weapons needed to fire one. Not to mention, that round has a hole through it. I imagine it wouldnt be very effective if most of the explosion went out the sides of the brass
