Well is this stupid or not

Hi Guys, my youngest son is 26 and his mate that you will see in these images is close to that age as well, you would think by then they would have some brains.

Well on their day off work they decided to do something different and put some real action photo's together, just for fun, it is a wonder they wern't shot or arrested, they were using toy pistols, but you just don't do that these days.

And to top it all off the did it on a bridge right next to the cop shop, ( building on your left first pic), while there other mate shot the photo's, and this was all done to impress some shelia.

Where have i gone wrong

Leon

It's not you Leon, it's the testosterone running through their bodies.

The scary bit is that the Victorian Police don't exactly have a good reputation for asking questions first.

Brains

Goes to prove that growing old is compulsory, but growing up is optional.

One, they run the risk of seriously annoying the police, by causing the police to act in such a manner as if there were two armed ********s running around.

Two, imitation firearms owners must have permits to acquire, and store, such imitaiton firearms. Next thing is, being in the possesion of an imitation pistol, which they look like they are, and running around the street with it, is as much a firearms offence as being in possesion of a real pistol. Permit or no permit.

The final thing is you are right. Police would be justified in drawing their sidearms on those two brainless clowns, as the Police officers safety, and that of the public, doesn't require the Police to think anyone dumb enough to run around the streets in broad daylight is only using an imitation pistol as a prop.

They just weren't thinking at all.

Alex, she was impressed, and they framed them and gave the pic's to her.

Secondly, I was not impressed, but at 26 what do you say, and Mr Night Owl, I agree totally to what you are saying, but hasn't the world changed.

Back in 1973 etc, about that time, I would park my car in front of the gun shop at that time, and no one would bother to look or take notice when i took my rifle from the back seat, sling it across my back and walk toward the shop.

We could buy ammo of any amount etc, and no licence necessary, how things have changed, but i agree, they were dumb.

Yeah, I can remember back in 1982 a friend of mine bought a semi auto 12 guage shotgun, that had been driven over, and the barrel slightly bent.

He took it to school, fully assembled, to fix it in metal work. He walked with it over his shoulder right through the middle of school, and the principal and several teachers saw it. The cops weren't called, and the metalwork teacher helped him straighten it. Do that now and see what happens.

The world is just a ****tier place now. Everything now has an induced 'climate of fear' placed on it by governments that realise fear controls people.

Also, what concerns me is many countries without private firearms ownership don't get to vote. Just ask the Chinese, and Burmese. You know what I'm saying.

I reckon you gotta laugh really...you cant carry a knife.. but you see at all the markets ..those imports shops...lots of places ...swords..they may not be battle ready but its seems funny that such is not frowned upon. But no doubt these items may well feature more in a nasty situation than a good pocket knife say.

Leon on Myth Busters they built a canon using a tree...tell your Son about that one... if I was a girl that would impress me...and I must say if there was a girl who could build one she would impress me.
