Haha except a roasted pig is still edible. A Sig Sauer doesn't receive a tv signal.

I wonder if a another guy ordered an assault rifle and got a TV instead, but doesn't want the media attention.

I thought it said the police asked the other guy if he received a TV and the answer was no.. maybe he's trying to score a free TV.

I would have kept the rifle, for sure.
