And also, it's not a shell, it's a round. A shell is an empty case. A round is a case / shell filled with a live primer, powerder, and a bullet. Learn the basics before you start to preach how people should behave.

The cop pulled the trigger on that Browning. There is no other way that gun would go off while it was in a holster.

Pardon the pun, but it does appear that some pigs are more equal than others.

Don't have a dog in this fight, just some definitions.

From Oxford Concise:

Shell: US. A cartridge.

Cartridge: A case containing a charge of propelling explosive for firearms or blasting, with a bullet or shot if for small arms.

Have a nice day!
