AK47 stuck in pants

2008 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Is that an AK47 in your pants? Or are you just happy to see the police?

A California couldn't pull his AK47 out of his pants fast enough, despite being warned by police, and was fatally shot by an officer.

21-year old Philip Dorado apparently did not have the benefit of watching old westerns where he would have learned that weapons are holstered and not shoved down the leg of your pants.

Excerpt from news story "The officer exited his vehicle and told the suspect to sit on the sidewalk, but the suspect instead began to pull a rifle out of his pants, according to police.

The suspect continued to draw the rifle despite orders to drop his weapon, and the office shot the suspect several times. Police said the suspect's weapon appeared to be a loaded AK-47 rifle."

According to a quick Google search, a modern AK-47 with a folding stock is 25 inches long when the stock is collapsed. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to get into a showdown with a police officer where I have to try to draw a 2 foot long rifle from my pants. Thanks, Karen!
