Has anyone seen the story I heard about thru a third party about this ex-cop owning a Barrett .50 caliber rifle???

I heard form someone who saw the story broadcast on FoxNews about this new development...

IIRC, even Law Enforcement cannot own or posess a .50 caliber rifle in that state...Unless, if it was grandfathered in before the law was changed to ban such posession, and even then I believe those particular rifles have to be registered...

I stand to be corrected, but I figure thats ok, because I know what the implications, yet again, of such information being released through a media outlet can be utilized by those who want to further demogog our Second Amendment rights, to create a concern/fear/panic in the general public in the area where they believe this ex-cop is holing up waiting to commmit his next move...

I’d like to find out (ultimately) who the source of the information given to FoxNews was...Because I figure we’ll figure out the purpose of such a story, whether it turns out to be true or not...

I know, they report, we decide...So, I’m just trying to figure out if there is a need to decide on this facet of this story...

Dorner mentions ownership of the Barrett and other "scary guns" in his manifesto.

Believe it was in the manifesto....the Barrett

Here is the link to Fox News' redacted version of the manifesto. I got to read the un-redacted version a couple of hours ago - the one where the expletives and the names were included - but now can't find it.

IIRC, Dorner owns a home in Nevada. He could have easily purchased a Barret there.
