"Earlier today, students at California State University, Long Beach were asked to evacuate and/or take shelter after reports that there was an "armed gunman" on campus. People were told to, "lock and blockade doors, close blinds, silence cell phones and remain calm." Scary. Luckily, there wasn't a shooter though. It was just a guy carrying his Samsung Galaxy Phone."

Thoughts? I personally cannot understand how a phone gets confused for a gun. Unless it looks like this.

Ironically, the suspect got the "alert text" from the college on his I-phone/gun and didn't know which way to run to get away from himself, eventually his head exploded and everyone was safe..

Maybe it was this one?

Certainly could have been. Though, I somehow doubt it.

I just found out what "shoot off your mouth" really means.

I think those are illegal in the US. How could a criminal get something illegal?

Do the four rules apply? If so, how do you talk without pointing your muzzle at others.
