That's awesome. Oh wait. Our military is leaving dangerous high-tech weaponry out in the woods.

Nevermind.

Seeing as it's Texas (and if I'm not mistaken you can have Surface to Air launchers as long as you say it's for "self-defence") it doesn't surprise me that he found it laying around.

What does surprise me is that he was stupid enough to turn it in.

You never know when you just might need to defend your property. And in Texas property is everything.

I second this [small] no offense to anyone that lives in Texas [/small]
None taken. You should come visit sometime - you'll find it's a pleasantly reasonable place, if a bit warm.

A. cool shit.
B. What a fucking idiot. News flash moron, Explosive weaponry is fucking dangerous. You see something like this, you step back and call the cops. You do NOT pick it up, You do NOT put it in a moving vehicle, You do NOT take it fucking home. I swear to god, the fact that someone this stupid manages to live to maturity is miraculous.
Yeah, it is dangerous. But these things are made to be carried by soldiers through warzones without 'going off'. So I don't think picking it up is going to make it 'go off'. You remind me of one of those people who have never handled a firearm tend to think they're just going to shoot randomly while you handle them.

He did what probably 99% of people (well, guys anyway) would have done - picked it up and taken a picture.

Yeah... no. I don't know where you got your extensive Texas State law knowledge, but it wasn't in this reality.

Very few states prohibit owning a missile launcher - pretty much all of them (and the federal government) prohibit owning explosives, which means you get no ammo.

And he did the smart thing by turning it in... you don't want to be caught without a federal permit and that thing.

I once got Unique Armor that Deflected arrows but had Low durability and was Ethereal lol.

I once found a 20 Dollar bill. Sure missile launchers are Bad ass But 20 bucks?
I (well, my girlfriend at the time) found a £50 note on the stairs in an incredibly busy train station in Birmingham. Paid for our day out, haha.
