The guy that owned the gun was not a citizen if that makes a difference? This is definately a true story

I can't see them letting anyone with an AK go back on the street like that. The best part is the cops are just going to let you have an unregistered automatic weapon.

That should have made things worse (for the shooter) not better.

My dad isn't a citizen and I remember my mom saying that if he commits a crime they are deporting his ass. I don't see how shooting a weapon at an occupied car wouldn't be enough of a crime to get him packing.

Reckless endangerment
Discharging a firearm within city limits (which sounds like you were)
Discharging a firearm from a moving vehicle (if they were driving) Felony I believe
If I'm not mistaken you're (a civilian) not even allowed to transport a loaded firearm.
Depending on where the gun was in the car, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.

and said something about the NRAI think those 'cops' weren't cops and you got in the middle of something strange that was going down. I'd find some way to get rid of that gun. If you or your friend even think of keeping it, you're retarded. You don't sound like it was too strange of a situation

It happened in Bithlo, a more rural part of Cen. Fla, and I don't think the cops knew what to do and fish and game guy was like this is the most exciting think I've done in years on the job...

Me and my boy were thinking about getting one at the next Gun Show that comes to the fairgrounds and I think Gunny has an AK47.

Well from start to finish the situation took about 2 hours and there are two reports that we will be getting, one from the fish and game guy and one from the orange county police dept.
The cops were legit

on this whole thing. I dont need to explain why. IF this is true, you better contact the FBI regarding this policeman's actions.

And do what? no one was injured, and their paperwork checked out?
What should the cops of done? It was only 1 shot and they were trying to say they were shooting at the ground and it ricochet (sp?)

:wtf: how could they not get charged and arrested, and if the cop tells you its legal to shoot at cars as long as you dont hit someone, why the hell didn't you load on their car while they were standing there?

^For what its worth they said it was an accident, not intentional
We were just taking it all in, and left the decesion making to the cops, they seemed to be taking care of the situation.
I had no idea what should be done or should still be done? Just glad no one is injured/killed.

How does the cop know your buddy doesn't have a felony conviction?
Felon with any firearm is a no no... Federal not state law I believe.
