When I was in Vietnam we picked up an Australian news reporter once and gave
him a ride. He was in civilian clothes and ordinarily we wouldn't have stopped
for him, except he was carrying an AK-47 slung over one shoulder and I wanted
a closer look at it.


It was Russian-made (a weapon, we kept getting told by the know-it-alls in
politics and our own media, that wasn't IN Vietnam), and when I took it from
him and looked it over, saw it was far superior to the (then new) M-16.


He was taking it home to Australia with him as a souveneer, and said they were
legal there.


Of course...this was early 1968, and maybe they were legal back then. Not in
the US, though. Although some guys did take them home packed in their duffle
bags.
