I'd like to say I am at a loss as to how police could mistake an SKS for an M4; but I've read too many police reports describing .9mm handguns to be very shocked.

DNS said:Okay, well IF it had any of those features listed, then by Virginia law, it IS an assault rifle.
"Good guy with a gun" full media coverage only happens when the "good guy with a gun" happens to be the police, or a security officer.
Notice that the homeowner who apprehended two prison escapees at gunpoint is barely mentioned in today's news.

Got a link to an article? That's not the way I heard it.TomNJVA said:Actually the escapees surrendered to the homeowner as the police were hot on their tails. While armed, the homeowner never drew his gun.
Further proof that we can't rely on any early-breaking story from "the media." The first articles I read reported that the homeowner and a neighbor held the convicts at gunpoint after he caught them trying to steal his car, while calling the police and awaiting their arrival. Based on this article, it seems those early articles got basically every detail wrong.armoredman said:Actually I did see that, Aguila.
