Not a 41 MM but a smaller 40 MM
Might be a tussle getting one of these in your pocket.

This is a breaking news situation.
A man entered a courtroom in the Fulton County Courthouse this morning and shot a Fulton County Sheriff's deputy, a clerk and a judge; there are reports from both WSB and WAGA, the judge is deceased.
The perp has carjacked multiple vehicles -- now on his third -- and is still at large.
I've just come from downtown Atlanta, and the city is a madhouse.
I trust the doctor on this. I think the deputy chief may have misunderstood the question. I think that she was overpowered and then shot. He probably thought the question was "Did he overpower the officer by shooting her".
/sarcasm (obviously)
May those who fell due to this outrageous crime RIP. May the perpetrator who committed it be caught, tried, and executed. And may those whose fanatical ideology (partially) opened the door to it's inevitability spend sleepless nights reflecting on the human costs of their bug-eyed fanaticism.
Don't ask. He might take it as a dare.
The Fulton County Courthouse has seen enough public hangings.
It's still offensive, and you are an idiot to post something like that on this thread.
I read (MSNBC) that the shooting took place at ~8 AM EST.
It's now ~3:30 PM EST.
That's over 7 hours and no word yet of his apprehension. Just imagine the damage Nichols could do in that period of time. Just imagine the spike in opportunistic crime while Atlanta's LEO resources (such as they are) are diverted in this manhunt.
According to the news account I read, the jury wasn't even in the courtroom when Nichols was about to be brought in there. But the judge still didn't want him to be in shackles or even a stun belt. That judge's idiocy, along with the atmosphere of political correctness, just cost 4 or 5 lives and may cost more before this is over. The even sadder part is that Atlanta will learn nothing from this.
why don't they have plainclothes officers hanging out, what not...of course, I'm not a law enforcement officer, anyone care to shed some light?

I'm four hours from Atlanta in Dothan, Alabama. He could be eating in a resturant here and no one would have a clue. At noon, I had lunch with my husband and daughter - all four channels there were tuned to sports. I asked that they switch one tv to Fox, which they did. Jaws were dropping around the dining room - literally no one had a clue this was happening. Freepers are a unique and informed breed.
tacky, inappropriate, and irrelevant.
this guy just committed multiple MURDER.
he has not been accused of eyeballin' some virginal white girl by a mob of narrow-headed bigots.
multiple MURDER.
got it?
damn!
Not a quick end as in the Smith County Texas Court House shooting.
Say hey to my brother. He works in Dothan.
Prayers are out to the judge, deputy sheriff, court reporter and bailiff.
It was around 9A ET. I drove through the Spring & Marietta Sts. intersection at about 3 'til 9. From what I understand, one of the carjackings was at that same intersection at about 4 or 5 AFTER 9.
A bit much for a concealed carry piece.
Opp here,be carefull.
Eh... what you said.
Throw a tarp over it.
I was born in Opp. Misell Memorial hospital.
Kind of like Poe's Masque Of The Red Death, isn't it? All his neighbors were locked in with a violent maniac.
