#2 Hey Mo, where did you put that rocket launcher? It's not in the back of the truck.

But Abdul - I thought you put it back in the truck!

#3 Be careful she dose'nt get sued by whoever they catch for this. It could of been purchased for art work. And since they can now sue, she could be in bigggg trouble.

#4 This could end up being a huge grant opportunity for some scientist to study the migratory and nesting habits of the North American military rocket launcher.

#5 after noticing it had a picture of a soldier on it

Huh?

Perhaps a silhouette showing the proper stance for firing? Because I can't imagine any other reason to put "a picture of a soldier" on a weapon.

Ya gotta love "journalists". They seem incapable of trying to clarify anything.

#8 hey, it's New Jersey! Having a rocket-launcher only temporarily made her the most heavily armed person on her block!!

Now Besai's neighbors are going to feel the need purchase Russian made SAM-7s...and thus another Jersey arms-race kicks off!! *sigh*

#10 Yawn, read the whole story: Sources tell CBS 2 HD that the device is an AT-4 missile launcher that is used to fire against tanks and buildings.

It's the launcher they found, not a missile.

The M136 AT4 is a lightweight, self-contained, antiarmor weapon consisting of a free-flight, fin-stabilized, rocket-type cartridge packed in an expendable, one-piece, fiberglass-wrapped tube.

Like the old LAWS rocket, once you fire the weapon, you toss the launcher away. Somebody in the service most likely brought one home from the range, his kids found it and took it out to play with and they dropped it on this ladies lawn. Really, nothing to see.

#12 I live on the other side of the tracks from where they found the launcher- that's the bad part of town, and frankly I've always suspected that the locals packed serious heat. It's a tough neighborhood, you've got to be strapped.

#13 There wouldn't happen to be a lot of bearded guys living in that neighborhood, would there?
