".38 caliber revolver loaded with five bullets"
Loss of gun control?
He’s a typical GOPe arrogant fool.
Boss Hogg busted.
Was he on his way to DC?

Idiot. You never know when you might need that missing sixth round.
(unless he had a five-shooter”)

Proly a snub like a chiefs special or the many 5 shooter compacts out there now.
Probably flying United or American and feared for his life at the hands of their out of control aircrew.
If you’re going to carry it, at least fill it up with .357 “bullets”.
Make a little noise, do a little dance.
Head hog of the Barbaur Klan that screwed Chris McDaniel
in MS. Senate race.
Hope he goes to jail.
The rest of us would get five years in prison.
I suppose one can say it’s hard to believe a former governor of the state doesn’t have a carry permit.
I think he’s jes growin a little absent-manded
The hammer on one empty chamber is the safest way to carry a six shooter.
Sorry, doesn’t work that way. Article says it’s a .38.
Incipient dementia?
.357 is the size of a .38 cal. bullet no matter if it is a .38 Special, .38 Colt, or .357 Mag round.
I never did learn what it was called a .357 instead of saying it’s a .38 magnum which would make a lot more sense.
you can put a .38 round into a .357 gun, but you should not attempt the reverse.
