Local Man Registers Car as Firearm to Ensure It’s Always Protected

Man says it was the only way to ensure his property was legally protected

AUSTIN—A local car enthusiast has reportedly taken steps to protect his vehicle by successfully registering it as a firearm, citing what he describes as “a stronger and impenetrable legal framework.”

The owner, 62-year-old James Orson, said the decision came after years of drills he had to participate in while attending schools across the US instead of being protected by the law.

“I looked into my options,” Orson said. “As a car, it’s basically unprotected. As a firearm, suddenly the rules don’t matter, consequences are make-believe, and people can’t take it away from you. It just made sense.”
