Cops Almost Gun Down Man Carrying A 'Gunbrella'
"Canadian police urged the public to think twice about walking around on rainy days carrying an umbrella made to look like a rifle.
The harmless but alarming umbrella brought police to a bus stop in Richmond, B.C., after commuters saw a man who appeared to have a genuine rifle over his shoulder.
CBC News said the store where the so-called gunbrella was sold decided to discontinue the line."
Gunbrellas don't kill people, it's clueless cops who mistake a gunbrella for a real gun who kill people sporting a gunbrella.
I would advise folks not to use a gunbrella to protect them from the rain, unless it's made out of Kevlar.
I wonder which rocket scientist came up with the idea of an umbrella that looks like a rifle. I have an even better idea, a wallet that looks like a grenade.
Officer: You were exceeding the speed limit by 20 mph. Can I see your driver's license?
Driver: Yeah, just a second, let me reach for my wallet.
Officer: Boom! Boom!
