Man points firearm at driver during Littleton road rage incident, police say

[namedpipes]

Alleged firearm is correct. Until they have sent it to an accredited lab that test fires the gun, it is just alleged to be a gun. If it fails to fire, it is not a gun under MGL.

Just thinking outside the box here...

If one had maybe an electric furnace in the car, could one simply melt the gun to unusableness, if pinched by the cops?

When I'm carrying there is no screwing around unless you call speeding screwing around.

So always?

Was he passing in a no passing zone so the victim beeped at him?

Article doesn't say. But these days some people get annoyed at being passed even on a dotted line, 'cause "I'm going fast enough", so I wouldn't bet on it.

 

[Garys]

He who calls 9-1-1 first gets the presumption of being the victim.

 

[cams]

I bet his camo crocs got stuck between the pedals and he was just trying to fish it out with the butt of a rifle. I’ll accept that. lol

 

[one-eyed Jack]

How can this be? I thought Acton had a successful gun buyback?

Acton has never done anything successful. Jack.

Need to carry something like this. They will never be able to accuse you of brandishing.
What did the firearm look like? Well it was stainless/black.
Well officer I only carry hellokitty tactical

He was probably pissed he couldn't buy a shield in 40.

I know I would

Well not much yesterday cause I barely left the property other than my short road trip then the wife and I went for Chinese food for dinner and one must have 2 drinks.

Same idiots who camp out in the hammer lane I’d bet.

Pretty much. Again, I've had it happen.

Best is some guy does some bullspit move on you. Like pull out when it was clear he wasn't clear. Or takes a left-turn in front of you. You honk. THEY honk. Then they get hot under the collar. Dude. YOU were the one in the wrong. Like 100%. What are you beeping and fingering for????

It's not an anger issue as much as it's a self-esteem issue. They have low self esteem so when someone beeps at them, they have to get all alpha-ape to show they aren't the loser they believe they are in their own heads.

If I do a bonehead move and someone beeps, I pantomime whatever apology is necessary. Because everyone makes mistakes. You just apologize and move the F on.

Bamboo or Karma? Jack.

Bamboo or Karma? Jack.

Bamboo, always!!
Wait, what are we talking about?

I was asking Asaltweapon. See post 40. Jack.

 

[Mountain]

If you look around the Intarwebs, he may actually best be described as "Florida Man".


If it's illegal in Littleton to possess a handgun without an FID,
I know a lot of people goin' to jail...

Yep, I saw the same LinkedIn doggy profile pic for same name guy- appears to be a used car salesman in Florida? Reading between the lines, this sounds like what happens when two idiots collide. 'Victim' was likely antagonizing the guy- may have been F-ing with him and I bet he was laying on the horn, not just 'beeping' LOL.

Mods please close and combine with 'WTF Is Wrong With Florida?' thread.

My mind is running wild after reading this post. Are we only talking about some narrow situation where a non-firing "gun" isn't considered a gun? Does the lab get to add missing parts or can you just take a firing pin out of a gun and have it not be a gun under MGL (which can't be right)?

 

[falcon123]

Also, what's an "Alleged firearm"? Are they not sure?

Probably his index finger. Pew, pew......

Bamboo or Karma? Jack.

Karma. Worst service ever earned him 10%. Far cry from my normal 30+%.
Started out heading for Bamboo.
Yanks still closed for renovations. Billy told me a month but that’s 3 months overdue and the old seating is still outside. Something went sideways on that project.

Have you tried Taka?

 

[Asaltweapon]

Oh ya. Before Covid. Outstanding food. Shit location.

Hell, we just assumed they were gesphincto.

IIRC, they were bought by Bamboo, so...

Yes they were. Expansion plan was more bar/lounge area.

Might be my new favorite, but yeah parking sucks.

Word is that Yanks has been bought out by or merged with Karma. When I have the NH families here for big take-out pig-outs we now get it from Bamboo. I find the food "fresher" than Yanks was. Not like it has been sitting around. I agree with a big "no" for Karma. Jack.

That'd be a perfectly rational goal.

Yanks was bought by Bamboo. Same name on the debit card statement.

They never wanted the bar crowd but that changed a bunch after the Tiki closed up shop. Karma and Bamboo picked up the slack it seems.
One thing was very clear the other night and Karma and that was the young crowd. Place was packed with them. I swear the wife and I (at 60) were the oldest people in the place and we don’t look 60.

 

[Dennis in MA]

What is all this about you guys wanting to Yank each others Bamboo???? Can we keep this a family board, please????

IANAL but I vaguely remember some court ruling that basically said that if a non working firearm can be easily made operational than it's a firearm for all legal purposes.
