[hrt4me]

Today a man robbed a bank in Denison, Texas, using what appears to be a black powder cap-and-ball percussion revolver (brass frame)...

 

[2 shots]

I read somewhere when they made C&B handguns FFL here, that the last recorded use of a muzzle loader was in 1973, and it was with a single shot 50 cal cap gun.

Criminals are moving up in the world

It would definitely get the attention of the cashier.I bet that muzzle looked big enough to drop a silver dollar down into it.

That's the very last thing we need.

"Earlier today, a man who couldn't buy a regular revolver due to his criminal history bought a black powder revolver online and had it shipped to his house without a background check."

I can hear the uproar in the congress already.

Don’t worry. I doubt the cartels will start building Kiblers.

Nice fake beard and stash had a police scanner

Hate to see a black powder gun used this way. Had to scare the heck out of some bank employees trying to earn a paycheck. Just another thug who deserves condemnation instead of attention.

It's not that uncommon for convicted felons to mess around with muzzleloaders since, for the most part, they're not considered "firearms". I've had several ask if they could own one to hunt with. "Whatever your parole officer says."

I don't get it ? What's your topic about?
If YOU notice the firearm has a brass frame, then maybe you should contact the local PD of the robbery and share that information and help them identify the perp of the unlawful act.

Live in Texas. BP/C&B guns/revolvers are not considered to be firearms but are considered dangerous weapons. Which means no FFL required so they can be shipped through the mail. Plus, Texas has Constitutional Carry, no CCW required. C&B revolvers do have a steep learning curve in order to use them safely, so, I'm surprised some Wanna-Be badass would take the trouble if he/she is interested in preserving all of their fingers and the integrity of the weapon. But then, criminals have never been known for being overly bright.

Well, most bank tellers are probably not educated in the ways of firearms in general, much less black powder versions. I know for a fact that many criminals have used Airsoft guns or similar after painting over the orange muzzle piece, so the "weapon" looks more realistic to those who might find themselves on the business end of said device.

This already happened and is why Cabelas no longer delivers muzzle loaders to your door

 

[FishDFly]

Ditto.

 

[sturmkatze]

LOL!

I can't help but imagine a gold plated SMR on the streets of Jaurez.

They'll get him! Good photos. He needn't check the time there, he'll be doing 7-to-15 soon.

Looks like the Pietta Bison model.

That's all we need to have them going after our BP guns
