Does this Steering Wheel Lock (Club) look like a gun?

Apparently it did to Australian cops. It seems that they found the ‘gun’ while searching the vehicle of 18-year-old Chad Hastings, after they pulled him over.

They immediately called in backup and arrested the man for possessing a firearm.

Soon two additional cops arrived on the scene, and moments later Chad was a free man. Apparently the new officers on the scene were able to tell the difference from ‘the club’, and a real gun.

Upon leaving the arresting officer muttered ‘Get a new steering wheel lock, it looks like a bloody gun” – he said he was a “lucky boy” claiming any other cop would’ve held him at gunpoint.

If this looks like a gun, my mouse is a freakin’ grenade! [Courier Mail via Gizmodo]
