Great article. The machine-pistols were definitely the high point, but the original topic of elephant guns was quite entertaining as well. Judging by the quotes from the OCSO, I'd say they knew the person doing the interview was a moron and tried to dumb it down so they'd understand. Still, there's not excuse for this kind of ignorance being published.

and I always thought a 416 Rigby would make a good elephant gun round.

I don't know that I would have chosen that platform, but I give them kudos for actually thinking ahead to potentially bad situations.

Well, Disney did open Animal Kingdom down there a few years ago... And of course there's Gator Land and Sea World. Simba, Shamu and crew better toe (or paw, or fin) the line, I guess...
