Interesting concept... I know a couple of folks at work already working on the same kind of rigs

"Amazingly this is illegal in Georgia, even though the Second Amendment clearly gives Americans the right to bear arms remotely via webcam."

Gee I wonder where this dick stands on the 2nd

It is illegal in most states.

I like this comment about the article.

"Yep. When I found those six expensive Bennellis I turned all four of them in to the police.

The cops tell me they're looking for the guy who set both of them up "

And this one:

"It's actually a great example of human evolution.
We now have redneck nerds."

I seem to remember another story much like this one in the past. Someone was trying to sell subscriptions to remote controlled rifles. It was either at a target range or out in the field.

That one didn't get very far either.

The shotguns were in a right of way. I'm not that upset about Bambi but it is such a WTF question about what they were up to since utility employees could have wandered by. I get mad about my utility bills but not that mad.

I remember the remote controlled hunting. Nothing out of Texas surprises me. Years ago I drove through west Texas and saw a lot of heavily fenced off areas with a glimpse or two of African looking animals. I asked about it at a local place and they told me about these game farms where you could hunt trophy animals. If you didn't like walking they even had feeders close to blinds so the animals were used to getting food there. That's kind of stretching the definition of hunting.

Hate to say it but these will probably turn up controlled by drug dealers. A few outfits like this along smuggling corridors or labs would not be fun.

It's not that hard to do. A few years ago I helped a coworker code a webcam controlled nerf gun shooter.

Dumb-shits like this give the Liberals reason to scream and bitch.
Personally I think it's irresponsible and reckless.

Had some Kids found this, I am sure there would be a huge cry, again, to round up all of the guns.

Talked tonight with a friend in the Park Services who told me that it is not the first time they found a rig like this protecting some pot growing operation on Federal Land....
