A crash alerted him. It was 10:52 p.m. He grabbed a short-barrelled Patriot Ordinance Factory automatic rifle fitted with a suppressor and took cover behind the counter. The intruders had broken the side lite glass next to the outside doors, and were inside the vestibule in two seconds, according to the surveillance video. The glass on the inner wall was laminated. It was tougher. It took them eight seconds to break down the laminated glass with the rock(s) they had brought in from outside.

Matt was ready.

He fired a four-round suppressed burst into the upper left corner of the doors. It had the desired effect. One intruder bolted from the scene. The other dropped to the ground. Matt kept him there, then moved to activate the secondary alarm system to bring the Sheriff’s deputies. The intruder on the floor bolted for the outside and took off.

A third suspect was waiting in a car outside the acreage. The sheriff’s deputies arrested her before she left the scene. Issac D. Tomek was arrested a quarter-mile away. He had run away from the getaway vehicle, rather than toward it.

The event makes clear how effective a full-auto burst can be to stop aggression.

A local man, who knows Matt, Jonny Petree, wrote this on the comments section of the Marathon County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page:

I figure those were warning shots. The owner is an excellent marksman.

Matt used his skills in such a way that killing was not necessary.

I'm lost as to the history here.
Didn't the manufacturing of new automatic weapons become illegal for anyone besides LEO/military?
So if he purchased an existing automatic pistol, was POF really around back before this became law?

I'd guess the guy has Type 7/SOT FFL, so the gun would be a dealer sample. The gun could have been made last week, it's perfectly legal under the type of license/FFL he has.

Hmmmm, so a type7/sot gets to posses and use a "dealer sample" as a non member of law enforecement

Sot are manufacturers. Not a dealer sample.

Correct, but he obviously didn't manufacture the POF lower...POF did.

All you need is a signed request from a LE/MIL for a demonstration of a firearm, such as a full auto POF rifle. Once the demonstration is completed, it stays with the FFL. Maybe the LE/MIL buys rifles through you, maybe they don't...you still get to keep the firearm.

He can take a semi POF lower and turn it into a full auto rifle because he is a manufacturer.

So LE/MIL can't just buy/demo a rifle?, it has to go thru an FFL?, and if they don't want it, the FFL just keeps it?

OK, but only for LEO/MIL right?

Not necessarily. Some manufacturers build them to do testing,research, product development, etc. not always because they are looking to sell them. There isn’t any restrictions on how many you can build for various purposes that are not intended for sales.

The whole dealer sample only applies to 03 ffls. Not 07/sot ffls. I don’t know of any agencies actively looking to test dealer samples. They can do the same directly with the manufacturer. Usually it is just an 03 who wants to own a full auto without become an 07/sot who has a friend at a local agency draft a letter that allows him to acquire one. Most dealers who want full auto are going the 07/sot route now.

Pretty much all mil will go directly to a manufacturer who is a 07/sot. Most of the Leo agencies also. In fact most le agencies have their own ffls so they can buy through wholesalers when necessary.
