I know some people will think I am nit picking, but yesterday during the 6:00 pm press briefing in Lafayette (Lafayette Sheriff, LSP Chief, and Jindall), Colonel Mike Edmonson actually referred to the shooter's gun's magazine as a "clip."
I cannot find any technical reference to a pistol or firearm magazine referred to by any gun maker or expert as a clip.
Why would the head of the state police not know that? And believe me, I am not knocking the guy. I have a lot of respect for him and the job he does; but that is troubling to me.
Then I heard WWL do it, and WBRZ. Of course I don't expect the news media to get that right, but the Colonel?
Am I being too critical?
