A man from the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee was arrested this week after police said he drove into the District with a pickup full of weapons and a propane tank, then asked an officer for directions to the White House.
The 59-year-old man, identified as Steve Randall Oney of Sevierville, Tenn., told police he was moving and had stopped in the District for an overnight visit. Police said he pulled his truck over on Independence Avenue, got out and asked an officer, “Where’s the White House?”

According to the court document, the officer saw a propane tank in back of the truck and what appeared to be an ammunition box. Police searched the vehicle and reported finding a .44-caliber revolver, unloaded and in a holster, a .22-caliber rifle with a scope, a 7mm rifle, a knife with a 12-inch blade, ammunition boxes filled with hundreds of rounds and three percussion caps.

In most states, personally-owned firearms may be transported legally if they are unloaded, cased, and locked in the automobile trunk. As an additional precaution, firearms may be disassembled and separated from ammunition.
The exceptions to this rule deal mainly with interstate transportation of handguns. The myriad and conflicting legal requirements for firearm transportation through the states make caution the key for travelers.
If you travel with a trailer or camper that is hauled by an automobile, it is advisable to transport the firearms unloaded, cased and locked in the automobile trunk. If your vehicle is of the type in which driving and living spaces are not separated, the problem becomes one of access. If the firearm, including handguns, rifles or shotguns, is carried on or about the person, or placed in the camper where it is readily accessible to the driver or any passenger, state and local laws dealing with concealed carrying of firearms may come into play. It is suggested, therefore, that the firearm be transported unloaded, cased, and placed in a locked rear compartment of the camper or mobile home, inaccessible to the driver or passenger.
Once you reach your destination, the state or, in some areas, municipal law, will control the ownership, possession, and transportation of your firearms.
*** Washington, D.C.-— District of Columbia laws prohibits the transportation of firearms through the city unless the travel is to or from lawful recreational firearm-related activity. Firearms transported for this purpose should be carried in accordance with the general rule.
Well, you can hardly fault him for his idea. But, it does prove one thing...it sure doesn’t take a genius to know how evil this administration is...on both sides of the aisle.
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, I guess....
Sounds about like what's in my truck right now.
...Except for the percussion caps...
It’s hard to imagine people that stupid.
Great pic. Could add a dude in the back with a pitchfork.
It’s a good thing for him he didn’t drive through New Jersey. He’d be facing life in prison.
I suspect that describes about every third pickup truck here in Tennessee.
“Take a left at the next light and drive until you see the drunk Secret Service officers and their Puerto Rican hookers.”
lololol
Yep. If I drew detail duty at the White Hut, I’d drink too!
What? No Confederate flag decal?
ROTFLOL!
In an unrelated event the Editor of the Post is considering firing the writer of the article for failing to use the word “ARSENAL” repeatedly to describe the weaponry found.
The reporter is countering with and offer to attend right-wing-offender sensitivity training...
HOLD MUH BEER!
None of those four would miss if they got within a mile.
Damnit, why do the idiots always attempt to end our nightmare?
