I never met the guy, but some of the Detroit crew know him - We have attended a few of his shows over the years.

Now, on the one hand its easy to blame the dumb*****'s who called the cops on a disarmed ww2 vehicle driving around - on the other there was that guy a few years ago in San Diego who stole the M60 from the local National Guard depot, and went on a rampage with it... [X(]

Given that a few years ago the was the incident during the St Clair Shores show, where the US Army re-enactors decided it would be a good idea to take a jog thru the neighbourhood in full kit one evening after the show - causing panicked residents to call the local PD - He probably should have known better. The re-enactors just got a telling off just for running around in full kit (without firing their weapons) and were told to stick to the show grounds - if he was indeed firing his 50 cal, whether it was a blank firer or the propane powered replica's we use over here, that's pretty dumb [&:] and he does deserve that night in the cells.

I just hope all they do is slap his wrists tho. Over here they'd probably confiscate all his toys and throw him in jail for a good stretch [&o] - and that's assuming the armed response unit didn't just shoot him dead on the spot...
