Some people see a sword. Others see a gun. Common mistake because they're both black and long. Kind of explains the numbers in prison...

Same thing in Burlington Mall a couple of years ago Burlington Mall Gun Scare: It was an umbrella

I just chuckle a little every time something like this happens.

What about the children?

It is absolutely incredible how this country has devolved in the last 10 or so years...

ban umbrellas! even if they're not guns, I get very upset when I see them because they make me think of guns.

Ban umbrellas because I'm 6'4 and short people have no regard for tall people's eyes

If you pulled the trigger to open that itd make my f'in day. I'd lose my LTC for suitability the next rain storm, but I'd be like a 3 year old in a candy shop till it happened.

I think the trigger is for show. I can see the small push lever that releases the umbrella at the first node. Too bad though. Would be very 007, or maybe a Kingsman...
