Our latest idiot of the week (month?) Typical media bias against firearms is woven into the story but if the story is accurate, the HOA "officer" is a clueless fool :roll: .

Full story here.

"A resident watching fireworks explode late Thursday over The Hamptons at MetroWest on Turkey Lake said she feared for her life when a man carrying what looked like a machine gun ordered her to leave, according to Orlando police.

The heavily armed man turned out to be Swapna Mandavia's neighbor with the title of "chairman of the fine and hearing violations" committee for the west Orlando complex's homeowners association.

"The suspect, later identified as Howard Fox, approached her and told her to leave because it was after hours," according to an arrest report released Friday. "Mandavia began to leave the pier when Fox raised the gun and pointed it at Mandavia and said she was doing something illegal."....."

Lame. Bad timing for Zimmerman as well.

If he really had an SBR and two suppressors, he is especially an idiot to engage in aggravated assault.

I wonder if he had one of these or if they are mistaken with his ".40-caliber Glock short-barrel rifle"

It did not say CHL, thank goodness. But bad enough.

I'm sorry, but other than the fact that this incident happened to also occur in Florida, how is it even remotely related to the dog-and-pony show (aka: railroad job) currently taking place in Seminole County, FL?

I don't think it will directly affect Zimmerman's trial since the jury has already been seated, but watch out for the firestorm if Zimmerman is acquitted and a potential shift in public perception about firearms in general thanks to stories like this.

Well, we can't stop idiots from getting guns or any other dangerous toys. No amount of gun control laws will accomplish that either.

I was going to doubt the part about pointing it at anyone until I read:
He also said he walked the grounds at night to hunt small animals with a 9mm pistol on his belt and a .40-caliber Glock short-barrel rifle over his shoulder, the report stated.
Yep.. Off his rocker.

Just to think what might have happened if he came across an armed CHL holder.
