AURORA | The report sounded ominous when Aurora police responded Tuesday morning, July 15, after hearing a man with a AK47 and a banana clip was seen in a Home Depot Store.
Police surrounded the store at 3475 N. Salida St., just before 9 a.m. Employees and customers were brought out of the store as officers with rifles searched the interior for the reported gunman.
K-9 units were also called in the search the store.
Then, an employee came forward and told police that a man matching the description of the gunman had been inside the store earlier.
The employee said the man was carrying a nail gun and was looking for parts. He had left before police arrived.
;D
WTF

PARANOIA THE DESTROYA ???

Quick ... time to get nail guns on the ban list! Do you have any idea how many nails they hold in the magazine? We have got to get these things under control before someone goes on a nailling spree!
-
Nail guns must remain concealed in public places! Imagine the arrogance of this person strutting around with an open nailer scaring the beejeebers out of people. How insensitive, how selfish and uncaring can you get? I'm thinking there must be immediate laws to protect the people from errant nail gun exposure. Anyone wishing to carry a nail gun, except when traveling directly to a work location from a regulated storage location must keep the "NG" concealed and out of plain and, futhermore, be required to permit said ng to ensure law enforcement knows who are transporting these narly, nailey terror devices. Penalties to show....
Aw heck, I can't keep a straight face.

At least he didn't leave the nail gun in a park or give it to his 3 yr old son. ::)

I was somewhere (can't remember) where you had to have TRAINING to get a nail gun that used the 22 blanks!

osha does require that... its about 10 mins... here are the high points.
wear ears and eyes
make sure you know what your shooting into( no pipes of wires)
this end goes down
never keep it loaded
its basicly the 4 gun safety rules.

With a banana clip? A banana clip????
Was it a Dole or DelMonte banana clip? ;D

The caller is a prime candidate for an NRA First Steps firearm course. Aurora PD should pay for it.
Mac.

I am looking deep deep into my minds eye and I see no resemblance between a nail gun and a AK 47 ::)

I don't have a picture of the AK-47 version, but here's the M-16 Dewalt nail gun ;-)

If they don't know what a nail gun looks like what makes you think they have ever seen a AK 47 :-\

The next thing you know "Hilti guns", fire 22 blanks with nail loads for concrete and terrazzo floors, will have a NICS check to purchase
Was it a overzealous employee? And/or just a dumb a** employee.

I think I would rather be shot with a 22 then take a nail form a hilti... more so the ones that use 38 blanks. I know from exp that if you don't put the retaining washer on they will go right thru the 2x4... no 22 can do that.

Being shot with it isn't the worst part, the worst part is when the Paramedics use a cat's paw or claw hammer to take it out. YEOW!

you really can't pry those nails out( unless they are in the 2x4, the heads normally snap off)... you pretty much have to break the concreate by hitting them side to side. ;D

That hurts just thinking about it... Yeeesh...

Unfortunately this is the kind of paranoia that afflicts many antis. They don't know jack about firearms, just that they are "bad." I know some people that you can't even talk to them about guns because they are that paranoid of them. You would think you were trying to talk to them about participating in incest.
When the Heller decision was being discussed in the news, Juan Williams on FOX news was basically saying he was afraid of them, and more violence would result. I doubt he has any shooting experience. I once saw Dan Rather call an M-1 carbine that was shown in a video news clip an AK-47.
Of course an AK-47 probably has a bigger, more sensational fear factor with the antis and the general public. Dan Rather knows the difference between the two, or at least he should having been a corespondent reporting from Viet Nam.
I find that accuracy in news reports both about firearms and firearms law in sorely lacking. These people don't due their homework and background fact checking.
Geraldo Rivera doesn't seem to know that differant barrel lenghts are available for the AR platform and that LEO can have short barrel lenghts and full auto.
I'll stop ranting now.

I once modified a staple gun to fire full-auto...does that mean I need a NFA class III tax stamp for it?

I like to carry when I go biking. Everything was going just fine until I hit third gear and 60mph. That is when I ran out of air hose and was promptly yanked off the bike.
Project for this week - build a trailer hitch, so I can tow the compressor along.
