Jon Rafman maintains a fantastic, ongoing picture essay using Street View: http://9-eyes.com/

I wish this guy listed the locations where these were taken - or am I missing it?

Looks like a shotgun to me, but the image is blurry.

Lol, The image is way too blurry to say even that. It could even be a airsoft gun.

I don't think fools in the D are posted up with an airsoft gun....

These pictures are all taken from other Google Street View gallery sites, with the location information removed and the source uncredited.

Yeah, could also be any number of star wars weapons. Probably not a light saber, though.

It could be a light sabre but the blade of plasma just isn't activated.

Michigan isn't known as the murder mitten for nothing.

See my comment above. The sites where the pictures were originally found generally have a link to Google Maps for each image.

What pains me is that after reading this article, the only thing I could think about was how the article contained the overused word 'like' in a sentence as if it was written by a 15 year old high school girl.

'Except for like, when you drive through a rough urban area and happen to have a large gun pointed at you.'

Naturally if you are shooting around priavte property without owners permission and regard to privacy, you may get shot.

Is there really much of an expectation of privacy on a front porch though?

Haha, you ruined the article for me. I wonder if the guy driving the car even noticed, or was otherwise distracted by counting the minutes till he could get done with that area.

Once Google has perfected their driverless car, it won't be an issue to driver safety.
