"losers" with "no life" on Saturday night

[MaggieL]

And as we all know, small arms can't down a helo. Even if you shout "Allahu akbar!" afterward. Or "Wolverenes!"

Furthermore, "A pistol is what you use to fight your way to your rifle"-- Clint Smith (Lather, rinse, repeat until you've worked your way up to an arm that isn't too small. See FP-45, OSS Stinger during WWII)


Actually, the politicians *are* a solution....but they're a solution to the problem of "somebody has to run this thing", and that solution does generate more problems of its own.

Not exactly....a friend of mine asked a PA State Police chopper pilot, where you would aim, (hypothetically, of course) to bring down a chopper with a rifle/pistol. The pilot looked at him in amazement and said, "At the pilot".

But, my point was "stockpiling ammo" has it's practical limits. I try to keep at least 10k round cases of the common stuff, plus a variety of other calibers. The fact remains, however good your plans and intentions may be, if you become a pain in the ass to the government, they'll eliminate the problem(you) with a precision sledgehammer.
They work on the asking forgiveness rather than asking permission theory, except they don't ask forgiveness.



Uh oh, it's Saturday night.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

It's a beautiful evening. The first day in a month or two we've had the windows open all day.

10,000 rounds of any caliber is quite a bit more than a "case". Typically a "case" is 1,000 rounds of pistol caliber ammo, although it may be packaged in 500 round cases, as rifle caliber is.

(We did a video shoot for "In Bed With Butch" for WYBE today...should air on October 19, he tells us. If I wasn't paying off a wedding trip I might well have come home from the range with a shiny new semiauto AK47)

Anyway, you wouldn't wanna try to lift 10,000 rounds of anything.

One person who's a pain in the ass to the government is eligable for the "precision sledghammer" treatment. A whole bunch of such people (quite a bit more than, say, a Waco's-worth) is an "insurgency".

Despite the story liberal twits will try to sell you, this *is* still a democracy (modulo the fact that it's actually a republic).

I'm sure your friend has thought about that quite a bit...helo cops that do survellance for pot farms are frequently shot at. In fact all kinds of helos are shot at; the guy who owned the airport where I learned to fly once brought his Jet Ranger back with a bullet hole.

They fly low, are loud, and fly over populated areas. They bug me too.

Ha Ha Ha ...yeah my bad, I really have to learn to proof read, having the spell checker has made me lazy......er, lazier.
1K(1000) typically, except the 7.62x39 is 1400/case.

I used to think people should have to eat what they shoot, until I realized we'd soon run out of stop signs.

And some cops would be even worse shots than they already are.

Doing that video shoot for "In Bed with Butch" we discovered a new kind of "Shoot-N-C" target from Birchwood-Casey, the brand is "Dirty Bird". Nice, and not dreadfully expensive.

Severeid's Law in action, and particularly true of things political.

You're thinking of Wolverclean.

Pardon the typo. I meant "Wolverines!"
