Rocket on Display for Two Years at Veterans' Museum Found to Be Live, Safely Removed

CUMBERLAND, Md. Jan 23, 2008 (AP)

<snip>

"The rocket was donated to the museum at the chapter building by a local Vietnam veteran
about two years ago, he said.

On Wednesday, Allegany County law enforcers were notified that the rocket might be live.
Bomb squad officers from the fire marshal's office and the FBI went to the museum,
examined the rocket and found it was live. Technicians removed the rocket and rendered it safe.

Authorities are investigating how the local man came to possess the live ordnance."

1. Is this a second amendment issue? 48-inch by 2.75-inch Mark 1 Rocket
The ordnance was a 48-inch by 2.75-inch Mark 1 Rocket
similar to those used on helicopter gun ships during the Vietnam conflict,
Deputy State Fire Marshal Joseph Zurolo Jr. said.
