Stead - one of your relatives?

He seems to have the same tolerance of malfunctioning equipment as you. Only he also has a shotgun.

Cranky man shoots lawn mower for not starting
MILWAUKEE - A Milwaukee man was accused of shooting his lawn mower because it wouldn't start.

Keith Walendowski, 56, was charged with felony possession of a short-barreled shotgun or rifle and misdemeanor disorderly conduct while armed.

According to the criminal complaint, Walendowski said he was angry because his Lawn Boy wouldn't start Wednesday morning.

He told police quote, "I can do that, it's my lawn mower and my yard so I can shoot it if I want."

A woman who lives at Walendowski's house reported the incident. She said he was intoxicated.

Walendowski could face up to an $11,000 fine and six years and three months in prison if convicted.

I'm not sure of a 'ski' connection in the family tree but having persuaded a few inanimate objects in my time to 'play ball' (Hengle for instance - see what I did there?) I know how he feels!

Six years inside sounds harsh for shooting a machine no?

I expect it's more about the ownership of the gun rather than what he shot with it. Presumably it was unlicenced or something.

Ben can probably help us out here - I think gun laws are state by state right?

/raises hand

The closest I've ever gotten to shooting a gun was a paintball gun.

I'm a big fan of kicking things very hard.

Correct, although federal law takes precedence in any case...I read about this one the other day, he was charged with violation of a provision of the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934...This law was enacted as a tool against organized crime; it effectively banned the unlicensed possesion of full-auto and semi-auto firearms as well as rifles with barrels less than 16 inches in length or shotguns less than 18 inch barrel length...There were other provisions but those were the most well-known...

The gentleman in question possessed an SBS (short-barreled shotgun) without jumping through the government mandated hoops first...He could have gone through a Class III dealer and had his shotgun shortened and applied for the necessary paperwork but he didn't...Given his mental state, I doubt he would have passed the background check anyway...

As far as non-speciallized guns, the federal government does not license their possession and most states do not require licensing or registration...In more enlightened states (like Texas) we can carry long guns or handguns in our vehicles with few exceptions...Here in Texas (and 37 other states) licensed citizens may carry their handguns concealed with few restrictions...This is one reason we have a lower crime rate than more restrictive states...

If the man in Wisconsin had a gun other than the SBS, he might have been charged with only the lesser crimes of discharging a firearm in public or deadly conduct...As it is he faces federal felony charges...Ben
