DocM Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Inert usually means a disabled mechanism, no propellant and no explosives in the warhead - a display piece. Hmmmm.... LA CBS.... 13-Year-Old Among 2 Arrested On Suspicion Of Possessing Stolen Military WeaponCOLTON (CBS) ? Two people, including a 13-year-old boy, were arrested Friday on suspicion of possessing a military-grade weapon believed to have been stolen. Colton police said in a statement released that officers were dispatched to the 1100 block of South Mohave Drive about 6:59 p.m. Friday. Upon arrival, they saw a male, later identified as a 13-year-old boy, sitting on top of a roof and holding a possible rifle. According to police, the suspect ran into a nearby apartment, which a K9 subsequently searched after authorities contacted the owner. Three weapons were recovered, including an inert M136 AT4 ?LAW? anti-tank weapon, a b.b. gun rifle and a replica 9mm hand gun, police said. Mario Bruton Sr., 43, was booked into county jail and the 13-year-old was taken to juvenile hall on suspicion of possession of a stolen weapon and possession of illegal weapons. The U.S Army is expected to confiscate the weapon, police added.

jnelsoninjax Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 In all fairness, most police officers can not tell if something is inert, so they are justified in taking it and having it checked out, and TBH, the teen brought this on himself by running from the police.
