I was teaching an EMT class as a substitute for another instructor, and somehow I got to talking to a student on the subject of guns during a break. I mentioned that I was waiting on my paperwork from the ATF for my suppressor. Another student overheard this, and said, "Silencers are illegal."
I explained the procedure and the law to him, and he just rolled his eyes and told me I was wrong. He then started telling me (and the rest of the class) about how he used to be "an operator" with the Leesburg SWAT team, and how he used to carry an MP-5 with a silencer. He then started telling us that machine guns and silencers could oly be owned by cops.
I told him to look at the Knob Creek videos on youtube, and explain that. He then said that 'civies' had no reason to own those items. I asked him if he was taking the course because of the police department. (We get a lot of cops through there, who are trying to get a TEMS certification) He said that he wasn't a cop any longer, that he was working as a meter reader.
Sounds like a mall ninja to me, but it was hard to tell.
