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.

Buy him dinner first.

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

Either the diameter of the round of ammo squared, or the diameter / sqrt(2), depending on whether the square of ammo is circumscribed or inscribed on the round. ;)

Why turn it into the police?

I find a gun laying around somewhere, no way I'm passing it up. It's free and unregistered. And nobody knows

You and I think alike metmom, that bad boy would’ve been in my shop, barrel diamond honed along with the firing pin face faster than Sheldon after a pot of coffee.

My thought exactly! Must have been an Øbama voter.

So what would a square of ammo be?

4, 9, 16, 25, 36.

Unless it's hollow point, then it would be 8, 12, 16, 20, 24...

What if that’s my huntin’ dawg?

Move to Germany...

[Big Mack]

I would look twice at the ribs before I bought any.

Man, all I ever got was stickers.

Nobody has ever designed a “square bullet” to be shot from a “square gun”? Clearly that would not work with rifles, but a pistol?

That is an adult male Happy Meal if I have ever seen one!

[Slings and Arrows]

About as happy as they come, you betcha.

Times are tough. I bet your butcher has an FFL and sells guns on the side too. lol

Pork the one I love?

The answer to that depends upon whether it’s a setter or pointer...and if you live in Germany or not.

[Titan Magroyne]

Same here. That sucker would stay a secret and in my possession!

"If that's where my gun went, then what the h*ll have I been carrying in my holster?!"

“Explains a lot, really.”

Obviously, we need to ban meat and turn vegetarian. After all, vegetarians are and always have been tolerant, wise, just, diversity-minded non-violent people. Y’know, other than Hitler.

Thanks Slings and Arrows.
