I was petrified and I didn't touch it - I didn't know if it would go off.

Yeah, unloaded weapons have a habit of doing that...

A grandmother was left petrified when she was sent a police machine gun in the post by mistake.

Today's Britian. People traumatized by the sight of a gun. Makes me want to puke.

Not a real gun.

Assistant Chief Constable Adrian Whiting, of Dorset Police, said: 'Because this item isn't actually a firearm it is lawful for the company, the suppliers, to use a courier as they did.

That is a GORGEOUS gun. I would love to own it.

However, as gun rights fanatic as I am, I am somewhat convinced that automatics do not belong in untrained hands.

At the very least do a background check and a 2 week training course

"Instead, she found the Heckler & Koch black sub-machine gun staring back at her..."

Appalling -- she had ordered it in pink!

OH MY GOD! A FAKE GUN! EVERYBODY PANIC!!!
That is not a firearm. That is a training device much like the old Nintendo "zapper".

Grandmother sent machine gun in the post

Is that proper english grammar?

I ask because I find it misleading. It would be more descriptive of what happened had it said Grandmother received sent a machine gun in the post that was meant for nearby police HQt.

That’s not a sub, it fires the 5.56. Not 9mm or .45.
