A clip, have not heard it called "clip" in years..dropped magazines on the range..never had the ammo fall out...dropped handguns on occasions, no discharge, but the sights had to be aligned..

I find this story hard to believe unless he was carrying a wheel-gun and using "half moon clips" to carry extra ammo. But I thought the Air cops carried semi autos

What do you expect from a reporter, accuracy? (smile) You're right, he should have used "magazine" instead of "clip" in this case.

…when the clip fell to the floor, scattering bullets…

I forgot about the half moon clips – never liked them, never will. Why fire auto rounds through a wheel gun?

You're making the mistake of assuming that the reporter has ANY knowledge of guns. I noted this also but didn't comment because it's such a common mistake. Notice how he says the bullets fell out. If that is actually true, the ammunition manufacturer could be sued, since they dislodged from the cartridges in which they are supposed to be securely crimped.

Remember the cardinal rule of modern media - journalists are socialist morons, with big egos and almost no hard knowledge or analytical skills.
