It took the guy a little effort, to get military to come and get it.

I would have shot it off and then called them. Man, now I want a missile launcher.

 

[DCortez]

I lose more launchers that way

 

[Hawghauler]

I think I'll walk my property today and see what I find

LOL. The launcher was empty when he found it.

It said unarmed, not empty...

 

[MadMo44Mag]

I would saved that for the 4th of July party!!!

Your right...it did say, "unarmed" and not empty. My mistake.

 

[TxEMTP69]

wow

 

[usmcpmi]

Used to shoot these in the Suck.... it's empty... front cover is missing, and the foam bumper on the back is also missing.. No optics/tracking unit either. Just a green metal tube with a Gov't sticker on it. Actually, I think you CAN get them at the gun show! MG

 

[Acetone]

.... it's empty...

Damn.

 

[kingofwylietx]

I'd be curious as to how it appeared on my property.

 

[pheet17]

I bet that was quite the WTF, moment.

 

[M. Sage]

Yeah, Javelins are pretty useless without the optics...

 

[usmcpmi]

Sage, the news report said it was an"old school" M-47 Dragon. We used to have to lug those things all over Pendleton playing "bang-bang" with the bad guys... They would take a empty tube and put a steel weight inside "so we would get the real feelof having to carry one in battle" what a crock... MG

I know how it ended up on his property...
Some gang banger went and bought one in houston because of the "gunshow loop hole". After he busted a few caps he tossed it in the woods. The other 10 he bought must have made it into Mexico. I think he even told the seller that he would have a problem passing a background check.

 

[Texas42]

I'd sell it on ebay.

: )

Or trade it on TGT.

Unfortunately you give the South Texas gang bangers too much credit. Half of these idiots out here can't manage to tie their shoes, much less figure out how to pronounce "missile launcher" well enough for someone to understand them, much less sell them one.
