Imagine, you go through all the trouble (and expense, though small) of calling a place several times just to get the truth ironed out and STILL there's someone that won't believe you. I need a head bang smilie right now!

Well, before 280plus' investigative skills shone through, I would have said the photo was altered-because she has the longest forefinger I have ever seen! Is ET her dad?

280plus,

I'm not doubting your "troubles" but one question I have asked on other NGs that hasn't been answered, and since you seem to be the answer guy, I just had to register at this NG to ask:

In what newspaper did this originally appear?

Methinks that if you answer that one question, you'll remove all doubt from any of the doubters out there.

Thx.

Sorry, no idea on that, I'd suggest researching papers local to Marble Falls if anyone thinks it's that important. The best GUESS I have is the event occured Saturday 11/11/06 and probably made into the paper that day or one or two days afterwards. As far as me, I'm satisfied with the info I have already. I'm more interested that you CAN, in fact, actually insert a mag into an AR type rifle backwards and have made a mental note to do my best not to do this should I ever need to load under pressure. That was my main interest in following this up. I didn't believe it could be done but now I know for certain that it can. Just goes to show you how nothing is fool proof. And yes, I'm sure some damage occured to both the rifle and mag.

Occum wants to know, does the possibility that she has fingernails not explain her "freakishly long" finger?

Well, I can't speak for any one else, but in my line of work, citing one's sources is essential to any good work. Remember the history professor Michael Bellesiles who wrote Arming America? As an historian, he had to properly cite his sources in order to get published. As a liar, it was his citations that caused his downfall because Clayton Cramer was able to follow his tracks and prove him a liar. :shrug

HP,

280 has gone beyond the call of duty in calling the police dept. and speaking with someone there about what happened. The newspaper that ran the story is merely a middle-man that apparently portrayed an accurate picture, judging by the dept.'s apparent corroboration. Of course, 280 could be lying about calling the police dept, but if that's the case, why ask him about the newspaper?

Right, my source would be the Day Watch Captain at the Marble Falls PD, Marble Falls, Texas. Didn't ask his name, cause I didn't really care. Be my guest and call them yourself if you're that worried about it.

Besides, I just finished "rolling" my very first own .45 ACP ever and I'm in a good mood, stop urinating on my cornflakes! grin

Face it, 280. That cop is your ex-wife and you're trying to make her look bad by making the whole thing up. grin

Hey, you guys from THR who didn't think it was possible, it looks like you really can jam a mag in backwards.

They would dare to disbelieve The Badger?!?! shocked

The Badger is displeased. police

Cosine, you really ought to start a new thread on that in the Rifle forum at THR. They wanted a source, after all.

Wait a minute. You probably photoshopped that picture, too. laugh

Here's a easy reference guide to photoshoppeing at THR:

If it makes cops look like fools, then it is obviously Photoshopped.

To add to your reference guide to PS'ing at THR:

If if has a mountain lion in it, it's Photoshopped; unless,

the mountain lion is getting it's ass kicked by cool looking cops, then it's obviously real and shouldn't be questioned.

Doing so would probably prove to be futile. If they wouldn't take 280plus' word on what happened, nothing would convince them.
