Title: Hey Millcreek - Do you have the AR-15 Umbrella Bayonet?
Post by: Ben on January 17, 2018, 06:34:39 PM

Sounds like a Starbucks mom or somebody in Kirkland mistook a guy's umbrella for a rifle. As the comments inferred, good way to potentially end up getting shot nowadays.

I'm waiting for the Seattle city council to outlaw black umbrellas.  =D

This is in our local news right now, and I paid keen attention since it was at a local hospital.  My first thought would have been to wonder if it was a broadsword; you see a lot of people with these at the local Ren Fairs.  It sure as heck freaked out the hospital staff, and I would bet the guy did this intentionally.  Good thing he did not get Tazed or pepper sprayed.  He actually turned himself in when he noticed the media attention.

Good thing it wasn't one of these overpowered umbrellas.

I suddenly have an urge to learn some Big Bad Voodoo Daddy songs.

If ever there was a "thing that goes up" this was it.  Therefore it was an assault umbrella.
