Anti-aircraft gun sparks concern near DFW airport

An unusual lawn ornament has raised safety concerns near Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The lawn ornament? A Korean War-era anti-aircraft gun, which an elderly man in Irving, Texas, is keeping in his front yard. NBC 5 of Fort Worth says it found out about the gun “after receiving calls and e-mails from viewers who were concerned the gun was being used to target aircraft taking off from DFW airport.” But there’s no need to worry, the station says. The elderly man who owns the gun says he inherited the weapon from its previous owner “a while back," and adds that the gun hasn't been fired in years.

Though the gun is facing DFW airport, its owner says that's only because the weapon's gears are broken and he's not able to redirect it. NBC 5 says that even Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has dropped by to investigate, though the agency ultimately concluded the weapon poses no threat. Neighbors say the gun has been there for many years. "I just think in our heightened state of awareness and all the development that is going on in the area, people are just now seeing it," says Tracee Smith. As for the anti-aircraft weapon, its owner says its next home will likely be a junkyard

Weird lawn ornament, but I guess if you inherit something like that, where the hell do you put it? I wonder what its condition is, as a museum or park may want it more than a junkyard.
