Subdeacon Joe Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 I'd be worried, too. BEAUMONT, Texas (KBMT) - A Beaumont man was cited by police after riling up motorists by standing at an intersection carrying an AK-47 while dressed as a banana. Derek Poe, owner of Golden Triangle Tactical gun shop, said the stunt was part of the store's grand opening after moving locations. Poe said the man in the banana suit was holding an AK-47 across his back with the barrel pointing down and holding a sign with an arrow pointing toward the store. He said this idea was to attract customers to the store. A Beaumont police spokesperson said officers temporarily detained the 18-year-old and found he had the rifle with a drum magazine attached with at least a 50-round capacity. The spokesperson said the teen was cited for violating a city ordinance that prohibits soliciting in and alongside roadways. Quote
Capt. James H. Callahan Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Beaumont TEXAS! Especially long gun laws quite liberal. If he was carrying a handgun at 18 he might have a problem. JHC Quote
Blackwater 53393 Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Yeah I know, but some silly officer with his own agenda could certainly have made it a bad day. Quote
Branchwater Jack SASS #88854 Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Some of those guys with the signs on the side of the road are pretty impressive with their dancing and their twirling... Quote

Harvey Mushman Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Another one of those sentences you don't hear every day. Do you mean a banana dancing while holding an AK-47, or a banana and an AK-47 dancing with one another? "Is that a banana, or are you just UNHAPPY to see me?" Quote
Old Scatterbrain Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 "Is that a banana, or are you just UNHAPPY to see me?"Never much cared for the AK. Didn't hate it, just found the AR-15 to be more apeeling. Quote

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Maybe he was supposed to be a "banana clip". Quote
