Dr.Jimmy Rustler 23 Posted August 9, 2012 sig716 for 300 bux and hes complaining... to be fair to it is a pretty bad ass gun, which i would assume makes it scarier to someone who knows nothing about firearms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DTtuner 21 Posted August 9, 2012 Why did this yuppy douchebag get the Sig? Huh? This mix-up is a dream come true for all of us. Instead Captain of the Starbucks Latte crowd gets a beautiful, expensive rifle and calls the cops to impound it. Grrrrrr! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coldsolderjoint 84 Posted August 9, 2012 wheres that thread on here about the guy receiving his neighbors "adult" play toys.. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holeshot 3 Posted August 9, 2012 "Maybe this is a TV stand or mount or something" ^^^Lol Anyone have the Amazon SKU# for that TV? Figure I'll order one. Worst thing that can happen is I get the TV instead of the Sig and I'll just return it. LOl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheDon 3 Posted August 9, 2012 Please, God. Please deliver unto me such a computer glitch such that I may partake in such a splender as is an un-neutered tactical rifle. I promise, I will heed your sign and swear off any new gun purchases for 1 year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
z2886 0 Posted August 9, 2012 "They confirmed that it was a weapon that you can’t own in the district. They said by law that you can’t return this; we have to confiscate it and handle it for you.” HA HA Is that PC for 'we got ourselves a new toy'?

Malsua 1,422 Posted August 9, 2012 If I lived in DC, I wouldn't want this. Now the guy is on file under suspicion of illegal gun use. I bet this haunts him for years. Every time he gets stopped or does something that comes to the attention of law enforcement, there's a firearm violation notice on his record. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mcbethr 42 Posted August 9, 2012 There is one disturbing thing about this story: It perpetuates the myth that you can order guns online and have them delivered to your door. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wojo 98 Posted August 9, 2012 I saw this and thought, no wonder Sig has such a back log on the 716's if they keep doing this. I bet if this guy got something he wanted by mistake, say like flowers or a Tiffany Lamp, he would've kept quite. His(?) girlish scream probably alerted the neighbors that something was wrong. Nail polish, orange shoes and wearing frigging Capri pants. I'm going to take a long shot and guess BHO supporter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NicePants 58 Posted August 9, 2012 You can if you have a FFL (1 or 3) in most states Yeah, but the ATF would likely get buttmad if you were just using that to get yourself some new toys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greatgunstatenj 32 Posted August 9, 2012 If I lived in DC, I wouldn't want this. Now the guy is on file under suspicion of illegal gun use. I bet this haunts him for years. Every time he gets stopped or does something that comes to the attention of law enforcement, there's a firearm violation notice on his record. Where does it say he was arrested or even detained? It would only be on his record if the responding officers and higher ups had no discretion [or decided not to use it] over whether it gets chalked up as a mistake or actually filed, no?

alec.mc 180 Posted August 9, 2012 Yah, that's like calling the police because you found some drugs on the sidewalk or something, then being charged with drug possession. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malsua 1,422 Posted August 9, 2012 Yah, that's like calling the police because you found some drugs on the sidewalk or something, then being charged with drug possession. So, the cops just forgot about it, no names anywhere or do you think they recorded it "just in case"? There is now a case file that references this guy and it's labeled "Unregistered gun in DC city limits". Cops are usually very good at documentation.

I believe it was documented but not to the point where his name appears on some list of suspected illegal gun owners or weapons violators. Now we're broaching on tin foil hat territory again.
