One of the articles I read said that he did shoot it into a book and he showed the woman that in his test the book stopped the bullet. That is how he convinced her to pull the trigger.

I can't imagine why so many made a simailar comment. It said it in the linked star tribune article in the first comment. I suppose no one read the article. Lol.

The Pioneer Depressed had the usual comments section in full swing. There was one string of comments where it was abundantly clear that the poster had no idea that a "fifty cal" is more than just the .50BMG.
