Spotted a cannon? while getting gas for my bobbed deuce

I'd bet you could get a sunburn just standing close to it.

FEDS: "We aren't asking if you stole it; we're asking why you didn't report it".

That BFG fires separate projectile/bags. Shells could be manufactured for inert. All in all WTF!!!!! I can not believe that was not in a secured yard. The boys up the road were playing with the M777 earlier this month. They announced it on the radio. Wonder if they would let me join in with that piece of Salvage!!

honest officer...

honest... ( insert gov. LEO here...) it just followed me home...

Wonder what the response ATF would have if I filed for a Class 3 permit?
Probably something like

 

[sirmrtow]

are you sure its a m198 because it looks to me like a m777

"911 operator....what's your emergency?"

Dufus D. Driver. "Some sumbitch just stole my loaded flatbed semi-trailer while I was.....errrrr.....eating lunch".

911 "Where was this trailer stolen from Sir?"

Dufus...."Right next to Mabels' cathou..........errrr right next to the Wendy's on Maple street."

911 "What was on the trailer Sir?"

Dufus "It was a cannon"

911 "A WHAT?"

Dufus "A cannon...you know what they shoot big shells out of."

911 "One moment Sir...just stay on the line."

Dufus....."OK.....hey...here comes a police car now."

Background......."GET ON THE GROUND....GET ON THE GROUND."

Dufus "Hey...I was the one what got stolen from...... FBI????....What did I do?"

Background..... "You have the right to remain silent."

We now draw a curtain of charity around this event to protect the terminally stupid.

911 calls Dufus Driver back and asks:

Wait...is that you again Wreckerman????

Positive. It doesn't look anything like an M777 to me.

I drove by the gas station today. It is gone.

I drove by the gas station today. It is gone.

I deny everything and demand proof.

I drove by the gas station today. It is gone.

.... and now the FBI and Homeland Security are looking in all the "right" backyards...... BEWARE of the BLACK HELICOPTERS hovering nearby.

Hmmmmm.......so much paranoia. Usually associate lovers of another form of green with that condition. I'm sure some poor analyst somewhere in the NSA gets a report on us daily. Its probably thrown out with the rest of the NOT A BIG DEAL hits they see. Except for Papabear and Wreckerman's bickering over what I think is 5 different thread that I've counted, I think we are not really a threat to anyone...well maybe the odd mini cooper or prius stuck in a grill.

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

Hmmmmm.......

....... some poor analyst somewhere in the NSA ......

I WAS one of those "poor analysts" in a prior life
It's not that big of a deal

 

[jamesfrom180]

exactly... I'm torn as to the need for that sort of survelance but I do think in some capacity it is needed. Still would love to see the back story on that BMFG. Why oh why was it just sitting there. I'm sure local LEO and us are not the only trafic on such a load.

Hi all,

I hope it is gone because the correct people picked it up and got it.
And it did not land in the hands of the wrong people.. (terrorists, democrats, etc...)

If it was picked up by the wrong people, do not be surprised if some places in this country start getting shelled.

God help us...

Don't worry, if the Dems got it, the anti-gun bedwetting liberals would just dismantle it and recycle the metal. You know... that's what Earth friendly people would do. lol

that has been here on site a couple of times before, a real TIME SUCK but a REAL fun challenge

It is the real thing, being hauled by the Real Hauler. Landstar is a Gov't contractor, hauls all over the US for Uncle. Imagine the king pin had a lock on it til the driver came back. Interesting gun though, very light under carriage for a 105. JT
