Well, I guess I got to load a few more mags before work now.

Good news is, they apparently cant shoot all that well, and don't know how to change mags.

So what are the rules there on abandoned property? Can I pick those up cheap at the next auction or will they give them back to the person that "found" them?

I'm sure they will sit for years in a storage locker, then get destroyed. Sad, but true.

llegedly opened fire on the other with automatic weapons, firing up to 50 shots.

Should be: semi-automatic weapons, firing up to 50 shots, as I seriously doubt they had FA, damn media and their fear mongering....

Wow, there braking out the big guns in Cinci.

Yep, sounds like media sensationalizing the use of the AK (yet again).

Yeah, well they also had "riffles". Educated morons.

Alas, I don't think it is matter of intentionally sensationalizing the story. i think most reporters are just idiots (more charitably: uneducated) when it comes to guns. Maybe if they knew the difference they'd still choose to misrepresent the facts, but that's a different issue...

Ah, but they do.

Somehow I'm thinking this would have been a better story if the fighting was done with tommy guns instead of AK's.

as I was in the parking lot unloading after shift a couple days ago, call went out for people with guns at a club 5 blocks from the station, I throw the shotty back in the car and fly up the street to help

For Sure. Of course the media would of said they were AK's anyways, because it just sounds so menacing and of course the pinheads don't know the difference either.

Tommy guns would of seemed a bit too classy for that part of town. Cincy does seem to be goin to heck this year from what I'm seein on the news though.

All recovered weapons in Cincinnati are destroyed .

A lot of people who should know better call the semi auto Kalashnikov an AK or an AK-47. I used to, until I read more on the net and learned better.

From what I heard the drug runners used to bring them in with the drugs and drop them and the drugs so they'd be clean headed south. That was back right after the Sandinistas were kicking up down south and cheap guns were common in Southern Mexico.
