“This afternoon two Calera officers noticed a person acting suspiciously in a neighborhood. When approached, the person ran and was later found at a local gas station. The suspect, from Chilton County, had a concealed firearm and is a prior convicted felon with two active arrest warrants from separate cities.

The firearm, while not a thing of beauty, appears to be functional.

This used to be someone’s .22 caliber bolt action rifle but has been modified apparently to be concealed.

I’m proud of our officers for actively patrolling our neighborhoods and preventing crimes. This happened at a time when we are extremely short staffed.

Convicted felons, drug dealers and gang members should not have firearms regardless of the quality. (Chief Hyche)

Comments about the firearm and it’s craftsmanship are expected!”

 

[Philmo11]

Wonder if he even knows how many laws he broke, lol

 

[xdman]

gotta love the ingenuity, they are about 20 min down the rd from me.

Duct tape… duct tape fixes everything. Probably gave it magnum power!

 

[Bassbob]

Well at least he was responsible enough to have a WML so doesn’t accidentally shoot someone.

 

[Philmo11]

Did anyone even notice the pool noodle under the barrel?

 

[dad]

I guess the trigger guard was removed for rapid fire. Or to fire it when putting in in his waistband

 

[TidalWave]

…that’s my idea of a “throwaway”, Lol !!!

So it’s basically a “sawed off” .22 cal rifle?

Yep
An SBR

 

[Philmo11]

He should have sawed off the end of a trumpet and threaded it on the end to make himself a proper pirate gun...

The weapon mounted light and tactical tape make it "tacticool"

 

[Sld1959]

I think he should have straightened the bolt...

Thanks Hayes Wasnt sure that was a light. And as for the heading I've seen it all now. After some of the stuff my son showed me after he saw this, well you havent seen anything yet. It seems the is an endless supply of stupid and always someone to post it to the internet. Makes me want to buy a good horse and ride off into the sunset. But seeing how its February I should probably wait for warmer weather.

Super easy recoil I bet

 

[Recusant]

Maybe that felon had seen The Godfather and remembered the scene where Clemenza hands Michael a "cold" pistol to try in the basement he tells him that the grip and trigger has a special tape that latent prints cannot be lifted from.

When the felon was asked why he was carrying this monstrosity he stated “I was carrying it because the only other option I had was a Hi-Point and I wouldn't be caught dead with that piece of crap"
