[citation][nom]chaohsiangchen[/nom]Man you need to work on your military equipment identification skill. AT-6 is NATO designation of an old Russian anti-tank missile system (9K114 Shturm). Or, you actually mean AT4 rockets. Google the picture of AT4 launcher and Dragon missile system and you'll find what that is.[/citation]
I wrote AT6 as a typo and corrected myself immediately. Tom's had yet to provide an edit or delete option, so we try to be forgiving of spelling and grammar and such. Also, on my laptop, the image is about the size of a postage stamp (this is my work laptop, not my personal one). When I found a better copy of the image, I could clearly see it was an M-47 Dragon and not an AT-4.

Can't missile launcher be legally owned by anyone in the US? Oh no wait, it's only full automatic assault rifles and .5 cal sniper rifle...
Cause you know, deers are so fast nowadays that you need to shoot them a hundred times per second or from one mile away so they have no idea you're around.
Anyway, funny enough that you find missile launcher in the US when you're gardening, what would we find if we really started looking? 😛

[citation][nom]lemonade4[/nom]He was cutting down trees?[/citation]Yes. It's normal to go in and cut down trees in your forest for several reasons.
-Remove dead dieing trees to make room for healthier trees.
-Remove diseased trees do stop or slow the spread of the disease.
-Remove newer struggling trees to maintain healthier growth of the current trees.
-Remove trees and unwanted branches to form a path.
Generally I turn most of the trees I remove from my parents forest into firewood. All but the diseased ones which go to the burn pile outside.

[citation][nom]zipzoomflyhigh[/nom]Never heard of someone cutting down tree's eh? That's how you make firewood.[/citation]
Are you admitting to not only cutting down trees, but burning them as well? Stay where you are, Al Gore and company are en route to take you to the nearest reeducation facility.

Had to comment I was an Anti-Tank Assaultmen (0351) in the Marines from 1990 to 1996 and The Dragon anti-tank rocket was in service untill the Javelin replaced it shortly after I got out of the Marines. Yes there where still in service in 96. I know lots of guys with expanded Dragon tubes its just a fiberglass shell.
Even for a live one you need the combination Sighting and triger housing group that gets attached to the top of the tube to fire it.
It is a wired guided 84MM missle with a max range of 1100 meters, so no inless you get really close to a plane hehe

Shoot the rocket launcher at the trees. That would certainly speed things up ^_^. Seriously though, it's kind scary that someone would leave that lying around. What's worse is that they weren't eager to pick this thing up.
He just wasted a whole day, and some phonecalls, and gets something like this taken away from him!
I wonder if he got at least some small bonus off it?

Yeah, it might be useful for fighting of aliens or zombies or the decepticons! You never know 😉

Yeah, just a Dragon probably used for practice. The warhead is long gone. If it were in there, he would be struggling to hold it like that. We used them all the time for training excercises and EIB training/testing well after the Gulf War. The last time I saw a live Dragon fired was in 2000. What this guy found is really nothing too exciting.
Unless used in some crime, I can't imagine any Federal or local law enforcement would respond. It's a military issue, especially when it's merely a training aid. There isn't any intelligence value in this either, so no big deal there.
Comal county is right next to an Army reserve base, too.

It's a common misapprehension, even by some of our own political "representatives", that the Right to Keep and Bear Arms has something to do with hunting. That is not correct. It has to do with personal defense, but not necessarily from criminals, though that is a part of it. It is the guarantee of protection of the People against a tyrannical government.
Now, of course, some might be naive and point out that a bunch of civilians with guns couldn't stand up to the might of the US military. Normally, that would be true. However, having served in the military myself, I know that there are a LOT of soldiers who would absolutely refuse to follow orders to take aggressive action against the citizens of this country. Furthermore, you see how much harm can be done by a few thousand terrorists with I.E.D.s, light arms, and even box cutters. What do you think would be the result of open revolt by a few million armed Americans?
I hope that never has to be put to the test, but there it is.
