Oh no Obama will be banning cross bows now

Who rides around with a crossbow in the back seat, cocked with a bolt loaded?

Tony I agree; what the hell was he up to? Things that make you go hmm. . . . . . .

Darwin Winner.

why was he riding around with it loaded? I agree with Michael, what was he up to?

Yeah I think I would have removed the bolt on account of the stored energy.

Tbone too bad he cannot ban idiots like you from posting here.

@Sherry - LOL!
