15 Year old Kid found with RPG in Novato

It's more than likely department policy. Hell, I have to call the bomb squad for 50 BMG ammunition I take into custody. It's stupid but it's the rules the department set up.

^^^ This ^^^.... department policy, sadly, nearly always over rules common sense.

The tube is either expended or an inert training tube which, in either case, isn't going to do anything. The fail is massive on the part of the corporal who got to play spokeshole.... they didn't "find an RPG".

Of course this is the same law enforcement agency that can't gather sufficient evidence for a complaint when missing persons are found buried under the BBQ in their own backyard. The same agency that once ruled a guy who was found dead of multiple ax blows to the head to be a suicide.

I hate to pick on them, but they make it entirely too easy. And they have for many, many years among those of us who have booked in the same jail as them.

Once empty, it's about as dangerous as a soda straw.

Actually, you can't poke your eye out with this, as one may do with a soda straw...

AOWs are no more expensive in CA than any other state. I'm willing to bet that the AOWs we can get here are, as a group, among the cheapest NFA items period. Also, C&R SBSs and SBRs are legal here as well.

In CA you can just do a $5 tax stamp and $15-25 FFL transfer fee and you're done?
Not bad at all. Wish I knew that sooner.

I believe there is an AT-4 (in the window?) over at Supply Sergeant in Burbank.



Stopped by there today, the AT-4s aren't in the widow but are on display in the store. I saw two of them. Don't think they are for sale.

I wonder if he had a bullet button on it...

In case anyone missed it, this kid was released and nothing charged. The AT-4 was disabled and inert, so it was not a destructive device and is not illegal.

I am not sure that is a fair assessment at all. The investigation brought in FBI forensics as well and the DA decided that there was no case of wrongful death, as their is no proof of foul play in his death. He was very sick with cancer. However there may be other charges levied against the wife with of course improper burial of human remains, and possibly fraud since it may be she collected and cashed benefit checks after he was deceased.
