I rant all the time about my weedeater because the dang thing would rather malfunction than wack some weeds. I "might" have actually tossed it a good 10 feet in disgust the other day in my front lawn. (I've noticed the neighbors have distanced from me ever since.)
But what has this guy done? His lawnmower wouldn't start so he reacted like any good These-Colors-Don't-Run American and took the business end of his short barrelled shotgun and unloaded on his Lawn Boy. I'm right there with ya, brother.
But, since we now live in Communist Russia, he was arrested. If I were him, I'd whip out a copy of the U.S. Constitution and point to the Second Amendment. Our founding fathers certainly had the protection of a man in mind who wants to blast a crappy Lawn Boy. That's what's called an inalienable right.

Just think...had we outawed guns he wouldn't have been arrested. He looks like a law abiding citizen.(Am I correct....I mean, if we outlawed guns he wouldn't have had one.)
You're the Lawyer, what in the heck did this guy do wrong? If he gets arrested for shooting his mower then I need to rethink my position on people who drive fast on the street I live on. I have a very old mower that I believe is about to "bite the bullet". I have thought when that time comes I will be more than happy to shove it out in front of someone coming down the street like a bat out of hell. Now, what in the heck am I suppossed to do when my mower bites it? If he goes to jail for shooting it I am sure I will go to jail for failing to yield the ride-away or something.
He looks like the lead singer of Motörhead.

Rock on, brutha. Rock the "F" on!
as in the movie:The Longest Yard (pun intended)I bet if asked, he would say "the time spent in jail was worth it".
He never had a chance,he weren't no bigger than a little ole squirrel...Uhhh Huhhhh
Hey barry...Don't feel bad, I have slung my weedeater through the air a few times, narrowly missing my daughter sitting in the yard, watching me through a temper tantrum.....(it's not just a "guy thing" either!!!)
Barry,
you being a lwayer, and making comments like this is going to make people think that the 2nd amendment gives them the right to "SHOOT" their arms. the 2nd gives us the right to have, not shoot when confronted by more sophisticated equipment than we can handle....just sayin
"....he would have had fun sometimes."
I'm all for gun ownership and I can assure you that I'll be keeping mine.
That said - I can see why the authorities might be concerned when an irrational drunk guy is firing a sawed off shotgun in his yard.
"reckless discharge of a gun....that's what the officer is claimin'.......Bubba hollered reckless? Hell....I hit right where I was aimin'....Bubba shot the lawnmower, last night...."
Ah, the dood old days when individualism was an asset. Oh well that went out the window too while you sat on your ass watching TV.
Jarhead is right...Lemmy Rules!

1. If he fired it in a city limits, there is probably a city ordinance about discharging firearms (unless in self-defense, etc.). Even our city police in Wise County would have to arrest him, and this here is Texas!
2. If the barrel was too short, he is possessing a prohibited (illegal) weapon, which is also uniformly illegal in the U.S.A.
Shooting the mower wasn't the problem, it was WHERE he did it and WITH WHAT he did it.
Funny story, though. My advice to him would have been to make a gangster--take that stubborn mower on a "one way ride" out in the country, and then riddle it with holes to your heart's content! {But then don't "illegally dump" it!]
7:28, that was HILARIOUS!!!!
Bless your little heart - you're not too good with motorized things, are you? Do you ever tune the things up? Oil changes?
Not to make you feel bad, but it might be time to trade in the old hoopty. You drove past my daughter and I today as we walked up to Sweetie Pie's on the square and we both thought a semi was coming up behind us and was about to plow us down. We both looked back like "WTF"? Then I saw it was you! BSG in all his glory! I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants! Bar, that thing is loud! What the heck you got that thing revved up to and WHY?
Gator....maybe if you lose some weight you won't be in the road so long.
Then you won't get "plowed" down.
Then we won't have to read about you calling the author "bar".
Ahh, the world would be a much better place with out anonymous jerkoffs like 9:39 around.
Just for grins, why don't you post a picture of yourself so we can all see your wonderful physique?
And for the record, I believe Gator has lost a ton of weight ~ if you bothered to look past the first picture on her blog you'd see.
Friggin' moron. That's just being mean for no good reason.
If I had a gun I would of shot my mower, weedeater, and edger at different times. I have cussed them, kicked them, thrown or pushed over each of them on different occassions. I think the actions of this man are totatlly justified and hope I get to be on his jury. In fact I think there should be a law passed making it legal to shoot lawn equipment and we could name it after him. So all in support of "Keiths Law" (last name is way to long) please call your or write your legislator today!
I bet a dollar that he'll have the grill mounted on his den wall by the end of the month.

9:39 would like to appologize to Gator.
He was poking fun at her calling Barry, "Bar".
He went too far and meant nothing by the comments.....sorry Gator.
Jarhead is right.....my appologies.
Hell, if I shot everything that didn't work around my house, well, I wouldn't have all these damn kids runnin around here.
3:22 you ain't got to appologize to jarhead..he thinks cause he has a gun and a stupid assed name that he's the f'n jerkoff police or somthin..well he ain't..he's really just a turdjar!!!
IS THIS TRUE..JAR?????
Yes. 8:27 is spot on. I am indeed the "jerkoff police."
**Rolling eyes**
Lawn Boy season in Texas is may 15 through September 15. This was perfectly legal as long as the Lawn Boy had a hardened handle on each side of the frame, and was properly tagged with the month, day, and time of the kill.
