Just seems so unlikely that he'd want to start a war against a communist country, too much deep sympathy and all that. Plus right on the borders with China and Russia, that could become a big diplomatic mess in a hurry. Fortunately we have Lurch from the Addams Family there to handle that arena.

What could go wrong?
In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

Maybe Lurch will talk about Ghengis Khan and bore everybody into committing suicide.

Federal plant in Anoka is running 3 shifts M-F, not weekends, not sure why some PT help cannot be had to fill out weekend shifts.

They are going to tobacco-ize guns and ammo, we all know it!

Time to kill this trend right damn now!

I'm in TX again and will be heading to the local Walmart early every morning on my quest to keep building up my stockpile. I'll be looking for .380 and maybe some 5.56/.223 although I will take some .22LR if it's available.

At the gunshow in Loveland this weekend, a brick of 22LR was going for $120, and it came from a "personal stash" ....

  I was at a gun show yesterday and a 500 round box of .22 was down to 80 bucks from 90 the week before.Din't buy it.The gun shops want 10 bucks for 100 rounds and I ran into a customer of mine and he bought three 500 round boxes at walmart and paid 60 bucks plus tax.

Well....Tomorrow I'm going to look at a couple of 22 cals.... Colt and  S & W. I want something I can shoot without dropping 100 bucks every time I decide to throw some rounds into the trees. I still haven't bought any 9MM, but I really haven't taken the time to look since my last episode of "as the ammo turns". Plus, I have a new neighbor, which means our little group of survivalists has taken a hit. Why do you ask? Well, I met the new owner, a greenie and most likely a lib. He made comment there was a lot of gun fire around ( Our neighbors on the hill, we are attempting to recruit, are armed to the teeth and practice A LOT) and he was generally complaining. I don't think he appreciated ( when I told him) the fact we shoot in our backyard. ( there is nothing but a large ravine behind us, we are out of the city limits, so basically every neighbor he has, shoots) I'm sure this will make for a delightful summer. But let me make this clear.....I don't give a damn for his feelings.

Got a dealer attempting to convince me to buy the 223/5.56 and getting the 22 cal converter, but I'm not sold on converting. Maybe someone here has experience converting. So hopefully, tomorrow, I will have a new weapon of choice to fire.

While I'm here. Any of you use any or own tactical gear? Looking at some of the clothing, shorts in particular and possibly an ammo bag and holder. I'm using a fishing bag now to carry my stuff and didn't know if there is any advantage to using product made for shooting.
I'm not always engulfed in scandals, but when I am, I make sure I blame others.

The greenie neighbor sounds like he has the potential to become a PITA. It really irks me when people move into areas that have an established activity (like gun ranges or farms) and then complain about that activity. Far too often I read or hear about a gun range that had been somewhere for 50 years having to close down because Biff and Buffy don't like the sound in their brand new subdivision of McMansions. Or sometimes you'll hear similar complaints about the smell coming from farms.

People ruin everything.

Look for "right to farm" counties.  Some places have a law declaring that everyone has a right to farm, and in those counties Biff and Buffy don't have a leg to stand on. Want to run your tractor at 3am? You do it.  Want to shoot at varmints? You do it.  Your land smells like B.S? Too bad. Biff and Buffy can move back to town.

Personally I have come to love the smell of manure-  it keeps the damn liberals away. To me it smells like freedom.

Don, you should just tell your new neighbor outright that you won't associate with anyone who voted for Obama- because anyone who did is a callous lying coward who thinks its okay to bully their neighbors, but too chicken to do it to their face. - and that you don't need that kind round here.  The more of your neighbors you can get to do the same the better.  The time for civility and co-habitation with these people is over.  Make them understand  they are not only on their own, but reviled and hated as the asshats they are. Making them feel unwelcome should be an understatement. You and your neighbors should be doing everything you can to legally annoy and harass them. They are a threat and a liability to your survival. Threat them accordingly.

I struck out at two different Walmarts today for anything I might need. I was there at 7 AM with no help in terms of getting anyone to tell me truthfully when they put it out, just the usual "we put it our when it comes in in the morning. Hate this friggin store.

I screwed up and overslept...forgot to set my alarm...and missed the ammo at this TX Walmart by thirty minutes. It was out at 7AM and all gone by 8AM. My next opportunity is Thursday morning.

Bought the s & w. it mirrors the actual ar 15. My wife tagged along, so it cost me a 38 revolver too. They had a few which were blinged up with a little orange color, and it's all about the look. We bought some ammo for the revolver, but I had to threaten to walk away from the 22 cal if they couldn't produce a few rounds of ammo.

So, more ammo searches.
