Just got this on an email, want to know if it's real or just BS?


From a guy in Texas:

My neighbor is a "lefty" of sorts (Obama bumper
stickers, gung-ho socialized medicine, "guns should
be banned", etc.). So this past spring I put this sign
up in my yard after one of his anti-gun rants at a
neighborhood cocktail party.

The sign wasn't up more than an hour before he
called the police and wanted them to make me take
down the sign. Fortunately, the officer politely
informed him that it was not their job to take such
action without a court order and that he had to file a
complaint "downtown" first, which would be reviewed
by the city attorney to see if it violated any city,
county, or state ordinances, which if there was a
violation a court order would be sent to the offending
party (me) to "remove the sign in seven days."

After several weeks he was informed that the sign
was legal (by a quarter of an inch) and there was
nothing the city could do, which obviously made
him madder.
I tried to smooth things over by inviting him to go
shooting with me and my friends at the hunt club
but that seemed to make him even more angry.
I am at a loss how to reconcile our long relationship
(notice I did not say friendship), any suggestions
would be welcome.

pretty solid invite to criminals to choose your house as it has better stuff to steal, watch your six

I say fake if for nothing more than who in Texas has a lawn that green?







Well that and it's a chain email.  And here's a google search of the photo.

I'll go out on a limb and say not real.

Fake. Any real gun owner would have a much clearer field of fire around their property. IMO.

Sign looks photoshopped, there isn't any shading on the lawn from it, and the sign is too perfect in terms of color and sharpness.  On the arrow, it looks like whoever did it didn't fill in the red all the way, thus it shows near the tip of the arrow.

Old photo. Shows up all the time on gun boards.

Very unoriginal.

That picture is older than the internet.
