"Man pulls Uzi submachine gun out of a pond with magnet and rope"
A man experimenting with a magnet plucked a fully-loaded Uzi submachine gun and several other weapons out of a pond in Massachusetts, reports say.
The unnamed individual called the police after pulling the Uzi out of Pillings Pond in the small town of Lynnfield.
Lynnfield officer Patrick Curran inspected the submachine gun and discovered it was loaded, before encouraging the man to throw his powerful magnet – attached to the end of rope – back into the water to see what else he could find.
The magnet fisher pulled another four guns from the pond, including a Glock handgun, a Colt Cobra revolver, a semi-automatic handgun and a revolver with “significant corrosion”, according to The Boston Globe.
All five of the firearms were loaded, local police said. The weapons were handed over to state police ballistics for further analysis.
A state police diving team was also called out to conduct a more thorough search of Pillings Pond, but the magnet man had done such a thorough job they did not find anything else.
The Lynnfield resident told officers had been watching videos about French treasure hunters who use magnets and ropes to recover World War II artefacts from waterways.
“In my more than 35 years on the force, I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s a little strange,” Lynnfield police captain Karl Johnson told The Daily Item local newspaper, which first reported on the weapons haul.
The hobby known as “magnet fishing” has becoming increasingly popular in recent years and has led to some unusual discoveries. Earlier this year couple found a hand grenade in a lake in Florida.
Last July a 36-year-old London man pulled an Uzi machine gun out of Enfield Lock using a magnet, before revealing he had previously found a samurai sword and a cross bow using the same technique.

Holy crap! I think that I'd soil myself if this happened to me.

So, as I interpret things, you get a hit on #1. It says nothing about feeding from said magazine, just that the magazine attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip. And it is attached. Was this what was considered when it was written? 100% no. However, this is NJ and I don't think they would give you an inch when as written it covers it in plain english. #2 would be a hard yes if you put a threaded barrel on your setup, so I'd not do that. #3... well it's not a shroud, but it does allow you to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned. Shroud is ill defined, and it could be argued to partially enshroud the barrel from the bottom. I would bet cash money that the AG would gladly say that second part there is to clarify the intent of the law and that since you can do that, you violated the stated intent of the law. -

I don't know why we ( NJ gun organizations ) have not yet filed a lawsuit on "duty to inform" A clear violation of the constitution 5th and probably 4th. Maybe this guys lawyer will and get that charge dropped. what other right do you need to inform a law enforcement officer of. are you required to identify as a republican or democrat during an encounter, and by the way, what constitutes an encounter. voluntary? involuntary? time to get this one knocked down. come on ANJRPC stop waiting for court decisions and go on the attack. -
Right, each location will have a different set of Repeater frequencies you can use in your area. You could also just have 2 sets of CHIRP files ready to go and make sure you have the ability to program them quickly in a SHTF situation. Maybe dedicate at least one radio for each location with specific programming, and then when you get there you can re-program the radios you take with you with the programming specific to that location. More expensive radios have the ability to program them via your phone app and BT connection. -
