Good story. But the weapon was a CAR-15, or better known as a M-4, which in turn is a FULL AUTO WEAPON. Having possession without an FFL who is licensed to deal in full auto's, a cop/LE, a licensed and bonded Security Agent, or a military person is a FELONY. The kid just holding the weapon in this case is probably no less than four felonies. No telling what the Marine saved people from that day, and I for one and happy not knowing what a radical seditionist terrorist would have done.
