Pre-election gun buying...

[beantickler]

I am pretty sure I am not allowed to carry or conceal any fully automatic weapons in my state of PA so I really don't see the point for myself to buy any of these... I carry all Sub compact Glocks... I have a 9mm and .357 and I am getting the 10mm SOON!

That isn't true.
Back in 1995 a Denver cop was shot and killed with a .50 caliber. It was big news then. The bullet went through part of the engine block before hitting him while pulling into an Albertson's parking lot.

If you do a search, you can find a few examples of .50 calibers being used in crimes. Not a lot, but it is a relatively rare firearm.

Can you please provide a link?

I searched and couldnt find anything credible. FYI a .50 WILL NOT go through an engine block. Sorry.

Do a search on officer Timothy Mossbrucker. You are correct about the engine block, he was struck by a .50 caliber bullet through the windshield.
I lived in Littleton when it happened and it was a big deal. I remember the news speaking about a bullet that past through part of the engine block, but several shots were fired and the fatal bullet did pass through the windshield. It was back in 95 and I've slept a lot since then. Memories get blurry.

On April 28, 1995, Albert Petrosky walked into an Albertson’s grocery store in suburban Denver, Colorado, and gunned down his estranged wife and the store manager. Armed with an L.A.R. Grizzly 50 caliber sniper rifle, an SKS Chinese semiautomatic assault rifle, a .32 revolver, and a 9mm semiautomatic pistol, Petrosky then walked out into the shopping center parking lot, where he exchanged fire with a federal IRS agent and killed Sgt. Timothy Mossbrucker of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department. Petrosky, who was known to his friends as “50-cal Al,” fired all four weapons, including the 50 caliber rifle, during his murderous rampage.

Yeah I ended up finding but they said they "believed" he was shot by it but it never say "he WAS" Oh well, still a VERY isolated event.

Mampam, umm, please keep this civil. So far we have gone five pages with nothing but responses from adults. If you can act like one you are more then welcome to participate. If you cant, please dont get this thread locked!

The .50 Caliber took out the policeman. He used the other guns on his wife and the Albertson's employee. He set up in the parking lot after shooting in the store and waited for the first policeman to pull into the lot and shot him. It was a major deal back when it happened. There is a park in Littleton named after the officer. I agree on the very osolated part. Are you going to the machine gun shoot this weekend?

You are an anti gun moron, a child is 100 times more likely to drowned in a swimming pool than die because of a gun in the house. You don't have to believe me just do a search on line. Than go drowned your self.

Come on now, no need for that! Lets let the gun grabbers look silly and childish!

Havey, I might go. I live close to the Knob but I'm so broke right now. Kinda sad since the spring shoot was cancelled cause of the flooding we had this spring.
