Man mistakes Canon for a canon, gets photographer arrested - Polidicks

[QUOTE=don868;39496660]Cops do this shit all the time though, and it's getting to be retarded. Cameras and guns are held, and look entirely fucking different.[/QUOTE] Better safe than sorry in my opinion. It kinda sucks if they get a wrong guy, but you can never be too cautious when someone's potentially running around with a gun.

[QUOTE=don868;39496660]Cops do this shit all the time though, and it's getting to be retarded.

During media class we take our tripods and run around the halls making pew pew sounds

[QUOTE=PaChIrA;39494069]I really don't get why people always say scopes and sights are tactic00l, tactic00l is for useless shit. Scopes, aimpoints, red dot sights, etc aren't useless.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure a gun big enough to mount something of that size as an attachment would fall under the category of "useless shit" (because of, y'know, the size). Therefore, both the giant ass gun and the giant ass scope thing would technically fit your definition of tacticic00l.
