Grandmother Recives Machine Gun In the Mail

[hippykiller]

A grandmother receives an automatic firearm in the mail that was intended for a near by police station. I don't know how this stacks up against the swat officer who left the m4 on the lawn after a stand off, but this seems like a pretty decent example of over site.

Grandmother sent machine gun in the post that was meant for nearby police HQ | Mail Online

'You don't expect something like that to to arrive. I was petrified and I didn't touch it - I didn't know if it would go off.

"This standard issue police Heckler & Koch machine gun was accidentally sent to the wrong address"

"Wrong recipient: Catherine Roots was mistakenly sent a police Heckler & Koch machine gun similar to this one in the post (file picture)"

Yeah, those two guns look alike.

Yeah, the pics are funny. One is a G36 and one is an MP5.

If you read the articale it's funny that the police didn't get a gun that could fire bullets, it shoots a lazer for training.

Why don't I ever get cool stuff by accident...

Then it's not a machine gun.

The comments at the bottom of the article are priceless...

It does appear to be a laser training rifle. Fires a deadly laser beam at 86,000 miles per second. The "bad guy" wears a receiver to give the shooter credit for "hits".

Star Trek it isn't!

On stun Mr. Spock!

Of course it all depends on what she really received considering the file picture and not the real item.

Dorset police, who have apologised several times, assured Mrs Roots that it could not fire bullets.

It had been converted to produce an infrared beam for training exercises at their headquarters

Yep, just had to read the article.

I did not see anything

If you receive something in mail you did not order you don't have to pay for it right? what H&K rifle I did not get anything. If it shows up I will be sure to call.....all my friends

Wow I was expecting a M240b, or 249 LOL - Machine gun.

Yeah, good luck with that. Let us know how it works out for you.

Lasers? Like the ones in STAR WARS?

Yeah, good luck with that. Let us know how it works out for you.

I'm waitng for the ad-on article where the local majestry files charges against the grandmother on behalf of the King. Since it's ILLEGAL for british citizens to own guns let allow machine guns!

Under the current ludicrous legislation, she should have been jailed for 5 years. The legislation is so badly worded that even a clerical error involving a legally held firearm should result in a jail sentence.
