Sons of Guns Crew Truck Causes 9/11 Scare at Dallas Airport

During the 10th anniverary of the September 11 terrorist attacks security at airports around the nation were on high alert. It’s safe to say you shouldn’t drive a truck with guns anywhere near one, especially on September 11th. Well a crew truck from the Discovery Channel show “Sons of Guns” did just that as a crew member of the show told airport police “I got a couple of guns,” as he was waiting outside for a co-worker. The bomb squad and canine units were quickly dispatched and a “automatic weapon” was found in the truck, which was parked in the general area where returning troops are usually greeted as they come back from deployment.

I’m sure the crew member meant no harm and was just being honest with police in case they randomly searched their crew truck, but come on. Driving a truck with a gun to the airport on September 11th? Just a note it was not the truck pictured above, but that’s the visual I had as I read the article on Mercury News. I also pondered what impractical gun they were building for the episode they were going to film. What ever it is I’m sure it’s “neva been dun befoe”.

Libyan rebels seized Gaddafi’s compound in Tripoli today and as expected they ransacked it for anything of value. One lucky rebel fighter scored an awesome find, a gold plated Al Kadesih rifle. The Al Kadesih is an Iraqi made clone of the SVD Dragunov sniper rifle. Lucky guy!


Don’t mind the reporters remark about it being an AK, it’s the media after all.

Check out MMA legend and UFC fighter BJ Penn shooting a Smith & Wesson .500 revolver at fellow UFC alum Matt Hughes’ farm in the video below. It looks like it was BJ’s first time shooting, but I don’t blame him, the .500 S&W is no joke to shoot. It’s cool to see BJ Penn and Matt Hughes hanging out shooting guns, the two were bitter rivals having fought each other three times in the Octagon during their careers. It just shows that the shooting sports can bring even old arch enemies together.

Each lamp comes with the AK-47like fixture, shade, cord and plug. At $445 per lamp they’re not cheap however, you could probably make your own lamp out of a real AK-47 or one of the many variants. Check them out at Etsy.com.

It’s no surprise that Special Operation Forces have begun to adopt motorcycles, especially in terrain like Afghanistan where conventional armored transports can be slow and unmaneuverable. Not much is known about these specially outfitted dirt bikes from motorcycle maker Christini other than they are Honda dirt bikes with a Christini all wheel drive system and have special camo paint schemes.
