When doing that step, I do it in a cardboard box
If it flies, the box contains the spring and detent
But I've done the same thing. I'm sure almost everyone has.

Lol! That was one of those creepy Halloween things. When you walk in front of it the motion sensor causes the character to move. I took the picture of that guy in The Ice Palace pro shop.

I believe you need to bring it down - as HPD doesn't take your word for it; despite the background check.

Good luck with that, let us know how it goes trying to register without the firearm.

Usuually they just make shit up from my experience, last time they tried it with me it took a few months and a federal lawsuit but I was right.

They threaten to arrest me if I didn't bring in the firearm, which is what I expected
