1. What the hell does he need a .25 cal for?

.. he had packed his loaded .25-caliber Colt semiautomatic revolver in his luggage..

A .25-caliber Colt semiautomatic revolver? A semiautomatic revolver. :wtf:

[-..__...]

3. The only semiauto revolver I'm aware of is the Webley.

"A .25-caliber Colt semiautomatic revolver? A semiautomatic revolver. :wtf:"

Google on "semiautomatic revolver" and see how reputable journalists can be when reporting
incidents involving firearms.

6. This is pathetic.....

I am always amazed that one can apparently "report" without any understanding whatsover of even the basics of the topic.

This happens all the time - the "automatic revolver" seems to be a weapon of choice, in fact.....I say we ban them!!!

:evilgrin:

2. BWAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!

"he had packed his loaded .25-caliber Colt semiautomatic revolver in his luggage"

The author said "semiautomatic revolver"... heh!

Also, why's Detroit issuing .25s? They're practically useless.

5. At least they didn't..

..call it a plastic semauto assault revolver of death with armor peircing hollowpoint teflon coated bullets in a evil high capacity clip.

:wtf:

The man on the verge of becoming Detroit's next police chief ( Jerry A. Oliver Sr ) has been accused by two women -- including an ex-wife -- of repeatedly beating them in the early 1990s while he was police chief in Pasadena, Calif.
