Not sure why they are so excited. Rusted, non operable, yet they still have to be destroyed. Just a sad reminder of good citizens giving up there freedoms.
Wow! I was actually considering doing something similar near bridges on the Elizabeth river. There's gotta be some highpoints waiting to be rescued near Norfolk and Portsmouth.

Must have been a whole bunch of tragic boating accidents there.

I tell people that the original AR carry handles were actually designed to protect the CH from inadvertent operation (like a trigger guard for the charging handle). I usually get blank stares back.
When I did the Missouri River 340 canoe race in August, one of the resupply points was Boonville, Missouri. When I pulled up there was a cop at the bottom of the ramp and a guy wading like he was looking for something. Found 3 guns real quick in a couple of feet of water. They put them on a rock and were taking pictures of them and carefully put them in evidence bags.
Didn't have time to look and see what kind of pistols as I had to repair a leak in my canoe and hop back on the water. A one hour stop including letting the epoxy patch cure.
