Fun With Guns: Guns, Explosives, Bumper Stickers, and Speeding Edition
In Ohio on New Years day.
When Andrew Scott Boguslawski was pulled over, the police officer, noticing a bumper sticker that said, “If you can read this, you’re in range,” asked the driver if he had any weapons.
Andrew said nope.
There upon the police officer noticed a large handgun between Andrew’s legs. Or, at least what he hoped was a large handgun. The other possibility is just too gross.
So, the police officer decided that maybe a search of Andrew’s car was in order because if you’re lying abut one gun, you might be lying about others.
Investigators found two pistols, two rifles, 48 explosive devices and tools and materials to make additional explosives, according to The (London) Madison Press . Also inside was a remote detonating device, Assistant Madison County Prosecutor Nick Adkins said.
That does not qualify as leftover fireworks.
Thanks to Karl for the heads up.
Bogus-law-ski?! SOMEONE is having a little fun here! You can’t make this crap up. Glad I am reading about it here and not after the fireworks!! Good on the cops!
1Dude just doesn’t understand big words like “weapons”.
2He didn’t think of them as weapons– just as entertainment for his kid’s birthday party.
On second look, I hope there aren’t any human females who would reproduce with this guy, so I hope no kids.
3What a gohmert! Day 1 of 2014 and he is already in the running in the Annual Gohmert Award for 2014. Packed with enough explosives to blow his sorry butt to perdition at the first frost heave or pothole, he also has his pistol packed in position to neuter his little gohmerts. WTG? On his way to meet his 72 virgins, he sits on his gun to ensure that he arrives as a eunuch. Now that is crazy.
Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen, but this guy is the odds on 2014 favorite.
Except this guy is giving him hard competition from the crazy camp. Not to be bested by Ohio or Texas, Maryland man “held on $400,000 bond after authorities discovered live bombs and 100 pounds of bomb-making materials, along with booby traps set throughout the man’s home.”

The good news is, that with these crazies upping the ante for the award, Sarah Palin might drop out of the running with her piddling faux hunting expeditions. Move over Duck Dimwits, the crazies are cleaning your crazy clocks.
4I hate to laugh about this because he is truly scary. It just reminded me of one of the Janet Evanovich novels where one of the guys Stephanie Plum had to pick up…this is getting complicated. Stephanie Plum works for a bail bondsman. One of the guys she had to pick up made stuffed animals into bombs, mainly messy ones. Evanovich’s novels are great entertainment for the folks whose doors are frozen shut.
5A $1,000,000 bond seems insufficent given the remote detonator, the 48 explosive devices and material;s to make more. Wow!
6Sure hope he’s not dating this woman:

@Marge – reading #19 now and #20 has already been bought and is waiting
7“If You Can Read This You’re In Range”
The peel off sticker on that bumper sticker should come with a notice
WARNING: If you can read this, don’t affix to the rear bumper of your vehicle.
They would sell just as many with or without the warning.
8I think he still looks surprised he was arrested in his mug shot.
9Bet he had forgotten all about that bumper sticker, which of course was the dead giveaway and the gun between his legs was just the icing on the cupcakes. he’s a definite finalist for the Darwin Award.
10Holy gohmerts and counting, Cheryl. While the boys shoot off their gohmerts, we cannot ignore the ladies packing heat in the oven, Republican style, not kitchen.
If there was an atom of sanity between all of the 2-A nuts and their nuts or ovaries, we wouldn’t need gun safety legislation.
Yo Wayne, what says the manly NRA men about your eunuch fans? Just asking.
11This guy was evidently active in and an officer of the College Republicans http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/01/07/1267973/-Man-arrested-with-48-bombs-NRA-member-ex-College-Republican
12Real question: Why is it that people charged with or suspected of violent crimes can get out on bail at all?
A fine upstanding citizen in Austin just murdered someone he’d never met before in front of a witness and his bail is set at $1 million. Why should he be able to be out on the streets at any price?
13His picture shows he forgot to take his meds this morning.
14I hope Evanovich is reading all these comments; she’ll have a new novel in her head by the time she’s through. Anyone have her phone number or email address?
15Cheryl! It took awhile to figure out what you were talking about. My husband adores Janet Evanovich, reads every single book she has written.
16Speaking of reading, I need someone with more time than money because this would be a volunteer gig. If you like juvenile fiction (Yes, I am an old lady but I still read juvenile fiction; lots of it is wonderful) I am writing novels and need someone to read the first one before I send it to the editor. I am taking a big risk here but figure y’all are nice folks and besides it is copyrighted and surely everyone is nice enough not to steal my unique and wonderful story. It’ll be ready in two or three days, I hope. The title is THE SECRET BUZZARD SOCIETY and is about some twelve year olds in a rural community in west Texas. Anyone interested?
@16 Marge,
Are you asking for general impressions or error catching? I’m a big Tamora Pierce/Garth Nix fan, so I enjoy “juvenile” fiction.
17Marge, send that manuscript my way. Been reading up a storm since retiring 404 days ago, and that includes occasional youth fiction. I’m a writer/editor/proofer by trade.

Dear Marge if you’d like a second opinion I’d be honored! Love to read! 😀
19@ Cheryl:
That lady is apparently Cormac McCarthy’s ex-wife.
20Is that his real name? Gracious, how appropriate!
21Cheryl @7: Did you read the comments? Some are hilarious!
I have read all of Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum books … I buy, read in one day, and then donate to our local library! Love those books. I’ve tried some of her other books, but they just don’t compare to the Plum series.
22Marge … I’d love to read your manuscript, as well. I tend to proofread every book I read and I’ve been known to write to a publisher, citing errors and actually getting a reply back. I won’t subscribe to our local newspaper due to the horrendous errors in that rag and the editor simply does not care!
Been following this. Incredibly, he was on his way to a government site to do his dirty! Imagine that! Someone who wants to do the government (in any form) great harm!
23There is going to be a lot more to this story, so stay tuned. He works at a Navy Seal Training Facility and had what sounds like confidential information in his possession.
By the way he is only 43 years old. Thank you for printing his picture. Seldom can I point to someone thirty years younger than me and confidently say that I am better looking. I really am. Honest!
24@Marge–stuck in bed from RA, reading is my life–if you need another opinion, I’m more than willing!
25I am terrified of these crazy people, I had as a child, too many violent episodes in my life that involved guns–a handgun has no purpose except to kill, so I come down on the belonging to a well organized milita ( my grandmother was killed in a hunting accident..) and the guns being stored and checked out when needed–a rotating gun safe for every group…so thing like that–the Swiss with their good training and everyone in the army kinda thing…
Anytime there is overkill, one meal at a time, one outfit at a time, one room at a time, and I believe it takes both hands to shoot a rifle…so time for rules and limits!
