I had a small-time miscreant break into my office once and steal thirty-seven cents, then waited around. He wanted to be caught, you see. Jail was what he knew, and winter was coming on. I don’t want to prejudge Verlin here, but the situation looks familiar.

Well, it was only a .38 Special, not a .40 or 45!
What was that rule, “Never try to rob a store with a bullet whose name doesn’t begin with a 4!”

Most likely, he did it because some jailhouse lawyer (another inmate) told him that if he was caught, he couldn’t be charged with robbery that way.
Of course, that ignores the fact that he had intent to put another in fear of whatever by displaying the bullet, so PC for robbery is covered anyway…

The bullet was useless without an “assault clip”.

Assault clips? Are we back to that? I thought we had switched to big bullet blasting boxes lol

It probably would have worked in England.

Felony humor? How can it be a felony, being as it was so obviously a joke?
Also; they don’t make it clear that it was a complete cartridge as opposed to just a chunk of lead.

I still can’t make the link work.
