Felon in Lexington Nc caught with AT4 rocket launcher

The exception to the statute is if they're properly registered. So, of course he must've had a Form 4 for his DD. Duh!! o_O

Police also attempted to charge Grice with possession of a weapon of mass destruction. However, Grice’s case did not match exactly with the statutes outlining that charge, so it was dropped.
 
Just what is a WMD? I assume my 12g 870 could be a WMD.
It's actually worse than that. In NC they're considered Weapons of Mass Death and Destruction. They're = any NFA item.

So, that inert chunk of metal we'd call a silencer is also a WMD&D.
 
That's my guess. Launcher but no rocket.
I don't believe that's how it works with 40mm launchers...so it would surprise me if it did with rocket launchers.

Well, I guess nothing should really surprise me anymore....:(
 
@BigWaylon How would the launcher not be considered a WMD? My thought process is that if a 40mm launcher is an WMD would the AT4 launcher?

See my post right above this. :p

I guess it could be non-serviceable?
 
But I also know very little about the DD category. I don't own one, and have only done some surface level research on the cheapest way to get into it...for the sole purpose of saying I had one. :D
 
Isn't the AT4 just a non-reloadable, single shot, throwaway launcher?? After it is shot it is just a tube.

Exactly an AT4 once fired is pretty much useless, though we were often told that if used in combat conditions to destroy the tube after firing by cutting, crushing it etc. I'm guessing he just got lucky and found one de-milled or something.

On the battlefield they can be made into mortar launchers or so I was told. That's why they needed to be destroyed.

We just got told to bust the sights and firing mechanism to pieces and chuck it.

Once fired, it’s useless unless you use it to launch fireworks out of.

@DCGallim youd need a specific 84mm mortar (or rocket) and even then I don’t think the tubes are hardened for multiple use after use after use. You’d have better luck with a Carl Gustav

I'm sure you're right, but that was just one of the boggie man things we were told.
 
My LGS had one. I'm sure it was for sale. He did a bunch of mil surp stuff. This is probably a big nothing burger, or a bluff, on the weapons charge for the tube.

That’s what I was thinking bc you know if they thought they could make it stick they’d of charged him.

If you are under fire in combat who will have the time to destroy the tube? Drive the truck over it?
 
I went to school with a guy might be him idk. You can imagine what we called him

So this article seems odd. They wanted to charge him with possession of WMD but it didn't meet the definition of the law? Did he just have part of it and no projectile? Anyways thought y'all would enjoy this!

Like an "assault weapon", the civil definition likely has not relation to what the true definition of a WMD is.

Heck, we can't even show liberals what a real WMD is without getting into an argument over THAT, with respect to what we've found in the Middle East, especially with respect to Saddam Hussein.
