Going Postal

The above is somebody's mailbox in New Jersey. The Daily News has the story:

Roger Buchko, 49, built an oversized replica of a Smith & Wesson firearm to replace his old letter box, drawing attention from across the globe. The business end of his faux firearm points out onto the road with the mailbox installed in the muzzle. The cylinder, mounted on ball bearings, spins in a good breeze. Buchko said the unusual lawn ornament wasn’t designed as a political statement. He was just hoping to pick up work for his cabinet-making and metal fabrication business.

The gun is bolted to a 1200-pound base, just in case.
