A bullet doesn't have to be in a gun to fire.

No, it just has to be in a CARTRIDGE (excepting muzzleloaders and cap'n ball revolvers). The CARTRIDGE will fire the BULLET if the PRIMER is struck, igniting the PROPELLANT CHARGE.

It's amazing how ignorant journalists are about firearms. They virtually NEVER get the facts right. Never!

My problem was with the sheriff. He didn’t get the information right either.
