Not a Drive By

No less than seven patrol cars answered when someone called Los Angeles 911 to report a passenger was pointing a rifle out of a moving minivan. When the cops finally caught up to the minivan, they found that passenger was sitting in a child-safety seat, and the "rifle" he had been pointing was a toy, complete with an orange tip. Officers gave the parents a lecture on allowing their children to point obvious toy weapons at others.
