How Stupid is This?

[StephanieLynn]

Good Afternoon Calgunners~!

I submit for your disapproval and theories as to why any responsible, clear-thinking firearms owner would display for public consumption, their scoped rifle in a second story apartment building window sill? This is in Los Angeles on a pretty busy street with plenty of pedestrian, private vehicle, as well as mass-transit traffic. The rifle is plainly obvious from street level, and makes an unmistakable sillhouette with the white curtain behind it.

Let alone the obvious - attracting the attention of a "concerned citizen" followed by a visit from your friendly neighborhood Law Enforcement Official, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight between a window magnifying the heat, and a reflective white curtain can't be good for either the rifle nor the scope. Sorry for the poor quality of the pics, but I confirmed via binoculars that it is indeed a rifle, not an airsoft or other replica. I'm not one to be a knee-jerk, reactionary, alarmist, but I'm just wondering what the hell this person could be thinking!

From the time I first spotted it, it's been on 'display' now for two hours at the very least.

It's on display so you know there is a firearm(s) there for the taking once the occupant is away. Jk but really maybe give that smart fello/gal some advice keep it out of sight.

Fajen stock?

[Low Light]

Nope. Stock, loft-dwelling, yuppie blowhard.

It's a trap. Actually, if this were a normal society where we had the rights we are suppose to have, no one would care or look twice.

So OP thinks all gun owners should hide?

What's the big deal?

[shooterfpga]

Maybe he just finished a bedding job or paint job that needs some curing and it wasnt curing fast enough.

I am failing to see what the big issue is here.

Now that I look at it again that street looks pretty dead.

[nickel plate]

It also looks like it is very well lighted at night.

[HOGLEG]

You would be equally shocked if you peeped on me. My gun may be on display as well. However, my rifles are all locked up.

Probably his airsoft rifle, but wants to impress/intimidate the neighbors.
