Black powder splitting wedge confiscated..

[Frank_N_Stein]

Some Captain already has it at his own farm...

Entirely possible since it didn't go to the IMPD Property Room....

o they said you set off an illegal explosive device but they didn't arrest you?

Got it back today --promised not to use it in the city limits -- I think the officer new it wasn't illegal. just trying to calm the situation. --I was only using 100Gr. 2F the above video was probably using 300Gr.

How could that be any worse than those big mortar shell fireworks that folks seem to like setting off for any excuse (or none) on seemingly random nights??

There are specific ordnances in most areas that specify when fireworks can be set off…

I think someone here used to say something like.
"A confused cop is an arresty cop"

So at least he only took your toy.

I say just flie a lawsuit against them and let the lawyer **** em up.

I know of a former auxiliary "policeman" who would attempt to pull someone over, see them throw something out the window
then stop on the entrance ramp to retrieve their pot to keep for himself. Never did stop them. Not joking.

Dad used 1 of those back in the 80s then switched to the mechanical screw contraption that you had 1 drive wheel on the truck to make it turn. Biggest safety thing for the powder splitters, was to set a piece of wood behind it. Those things were pretty much used for making split rail fence.

I sold several of those back in the 80's, got a call one Sunday night from a customer stuck out in the woods -Had a stingy elm log that screwed all the way over his hub of his truck without splitting. Couldn't get the cone off to drive home. Worked great in the right place. not near as fun as the black powder splitter.
