In a Roswell, New Mexico grocery store, a loaded semi-automatic Rock Island Armory .38 Super and seven rounds of ammunition were found in a packed case of frozen ribs. A grocery store employee made the strange discovery and the gun and ammo were then brought to the Roswell Police Department. Unfortunately, the gun was cleaned before it was handed over so police were not able to uncover any forensic evidence.

It’s a very popular caliber in Mexico. Mexican citizens are prohibited from owning “military” calibers such as .45ACP and 9MM.
Since 1911s have been chambered in .38 Super for decades and are not considered a “military caliber” (whatever that really means) the 1911 in .38 Super is very popular there.
My theory is someone got whacked in a Mexican slaughter house, and having seen too many American mafia movies they thought it would be funny to wrap the gun up with some meat for some peon to find.

Each cartridge is a round of ammo. So what would a square of ammo be?

Where can I buy a box of meat like that? Much better than the toy inside a happy meal!

Taking your theory a little further, we should check to see if the ribs were, ahh,........beef or MS13.

Someone may have put it there with the idea of shipping it to someone in Mexico.
