Sorry to pry.... But the Cops actually admitted that the bullet came from an SKS? How did they figure that out with out a suspect or a witness?
I do not know much about forensic identification of bullets, but pretty sure that a used SKS barrell isn't going to stamp "SKS" on the projectile... 7.62 mm bullets are pretty common and unless they can ID the manufacture of the bullet; and that producer only produces 7.62 x 39 mm, understandably it could be predicted its an SKS...but I doubt our wheels of justice turn as effectively as CSI Miami?
Is there another tell-tale sign an SKS leaves? ie: specific ball type ammo used at a wieght only found in 7.62 x 39mm?
I am surprised that they admitted that the bullet did not come from the Range.
So the earliest the range can re-open is the day after the next city council meeting (assuming our local politicians have time in the schedule to discuss)...
