Writing with smoothbore

shotgun0.jpgshotgun1.jpgI'm not sure which is odder. The idea that the appropriate defensive armament to deploy upon notice that an aircraft appears to be targeting the Whitehouse is the shotgun, or the idea that tourist and staff managment at the Whitehouse during POTUS protection events is planned around the use of the tactical shotgun.

Or maybe its Quail season somewhere.

Once the aircraft hears that unmistakable sound of a pump action shotgun, they will flee the airspace.

I particularly enjoyed the sign outside the White House tourist entrance that said, among other things, with a circle and a slash and everything, "No Nunchuks"
