This is an interesting article I read the other day:

"DENVER - Authorities surrounded a Home Depot store in the Denver area on Tuesday after witnesses claimed to have seen a "man with an AK-47" assault rifle there.
Witnesses told police that a man carrying the weapon and a "banana clip" full of ammunition was seen inside the store -- located in the suburb of Aurora -- just before 9:00 a.m. Tuesday.
Authorities surrounded the store and searched for the reported gunman.
After several minutes, a store employee told police that the "gunman" was probably a customer he had seen in the store a short time earlier. However, he said the customer carried a nail gun -- not an assault rifle -- and was simply looking for parts.
The employee also said the man had left the store before police arrived.
No arrests were made. "
I don't know about you but mistaking a nail gun for an AK-47 seems a bit difficult. The interesting thing is that the witness describes an AK-47 with a banana clip. This person must know at least something about guns to describe that...probably an anti-gun person trying to create some gun drama.
