I’ve dropped a few shit grenades in my time, but never a bullet

But it’s not shaped like a gun. It’s styled like a gun. But there’s no gun that shape.

For once I have to side with the TSA.

It looks like something you’d find at Hobby Lobby.

Bleh. I can only hope someone saw this and thought it would be a good gag gift and weren’t seriously excited to go home and install this.

Guns shaped like toilet paper rollers are fine though.

Classy. Perfect gift for the uncle who already has a Big Mouth Billy Bass.

You “unload” it when you’re done with “unloading” yourself.

I remember a friend once went flying with a paperweight that looked exactly like a hand grenade in his check-in luggage. But this was pre-9/11, so it went roughly like this:
“Hey, is this a hand grenade in your luggage?”
“No.”
“Okay, cool.”

Really? Because I had a cigar punch that looked like a .44mag bullet but as clearly a cigar punch on a key ring and they made me check it. But they allowed me to carry my pocket knife, as it was under 3". This was pre 9/11.

Not sure which is the worst:

  1. That this thing exists
  2. That TSA confiscated it, as though it posed any actual danger
  3. That the person carrying it didn’t foresee this happening

Of course there is. And its obviously a Browning.

Say…did you just see that cloud? The one that looks like a horsey?

Wait, where is the annoying person who says:

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a toilet paper roller shaped like a gun is a good guy with a toilet paper roller shaped like a gun

?

Oh wait, that’s me, ugggh

I think its:

  1. The TSA confiscates 4000 real guns a year.
