1) Submit it to FDLE or County's Ballistic Lab for test. Without firing it, most every thing else is a guess, whether or not the AK is a fully auto or garage modified.

2) UNK to this writer

3) Read below and learn the elements required to effect a relatively Nolle Prosequi proof L&ampP arrest. An offender can very well L&ampP while driving a car, let's say within a warehouse area, at 3:00 am, where COMPSTAT has indicated there has been a trend in commercial burglaries for instance.

To check a weapon to see if full auto

1. Unload the firearm by removing the mag and checking the chamber to be sure no round is in the battery.

2. Pull back the charging handle to be sure the firing pin is ****ed and release the handle.

3. Then Pull the trigger and KEEP THE TRIGGER back against the back of the trigger guard and recycle the weapon. (pull the handle back again) and if when you release the handle and it slides forward you hear the firing pin click with the trigger still pulled back, it's full auto. Arrest the subject, send the firearm to the Lab for confirmation for court.

But I truely hope you never have to use this. Have a nice day.

In spite T-$ and BK, you are doing the Lord's work!

Weapon of mass destruction (WMD) is a term used to describe a weapon with the capacity to indiscriminately kill large numbers of human beings. The phrase broadly encompasses several areas of weapon synthesis, including nuclear, biological, chemical (NBC) and, increasingly, radiological weapons. There is controversy over when the term was first used, either in 1937 (in reference to the mass destruction of Guernica, Spain, by aerial bombardment) or in 1945 (with reference to nuclear weapons). Following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and progressing through the Cold War, the term came to refer more to non-conventional weapons. The phrase entered widespread usage in relation to the U.S.-led 2003 invasion of Iraq. Terms used in a military context include atomic, biological, and chemical warfare (ABC warfare), nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) after the invention of the hydrogen bomb, and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN), recognizing the threat of subcritical radiological weapons.

Due to the indiscriminate impacts caused by WMD, the fear of WMD has shaped political policies and campaigns, fostered social movements, and has been the central theme of many films. Support for different levels of WMD development and control varies nationally and internationally. Yet understanding of the nature of the threats is not high, in part because of imprecise usage of the term by politicians and the media.

What about chickens . . . suspected of being infected with Avian Flu? Do they qualify as WMDs? If so, me and FF will start Miami Avian Shield. Imagine the publicity I'll get?
