The Basspro near me seems to be only interested in selling boats and clothing. Gun inventory in the library non existent and smokeless ammo stock is ok, but black powder stock is limited to a 3’ wide by 5 ft high shelf. No powder, caps, some round balls and that’s about it. I have to order on line and have it shipped to the store for pickup….IF they can find it elsewhere. Ugh.
It’s funny as sh*t looking back at it, but at the time… man, It was like staring down the barrel of a gun. I was dumb enough to accept the “Big Hat” (Chief) of my local FD. there’s just no way to describe sitting in the equivalent of a war-room weekly leading up to 2000 with 10 other fire chiefs, local and state PD reps, EMS, local and county leadership, and CEO’s from a couple of the Fortune-500 companies in town. Very surreal.
Exactly, Why does the Social Security Administration need 240,000 rounds of HP 9 MM??? Hollow point?!?!? It's prohibited by the Geneva Convention and we are signatories!!!
In some ways I’m not sorry. One of the greatest memories that I’ll ever have was a little girl coming up to me at a town council meeting, hugging me and saying, “Thank you, Mr. Fireman, for saving my Papaw!” after I got him back after a cardiac arrest. My dad served in WWII. He talked about about the “contract“ he signed with American People that could have been written with blood. He told me to treat my fire service as the same contract with my community.Sorry, that it happened to you.
And it all went away with a whimper when all the government computer experts could NOT find a solution but a teenager wire head presented the solution...
When you run out of money to pay the people....you may have to use force to defend....
LOL it's the Hague Convention that deals with what may be used in war. The Geneva accords are for treatment of prisoners of war and civilian refugees, etc. The Hague Convention does not apply unless facing an opposing force from a recognized nation, and that force is in uniform readily recognizable. So..., we can shoot bandits and terrorists in a war zone with HP's anyplace on the planet.
I don't think you get the gist of the statement my friend. The question is WHY?
For the most part, yes; but, there was the concern about some un-updated system, somewhere interconnected that could bring down the house of cards. An analogy would be the cascading blackouts as feed systems go down, or the cheer pyramid collapsing when the first person falters.
You should see how they are here in Oregon. Due to current wait times with the state police, Cabels is dropping the sale after 30 days and not returning the full payment. The state is over 32,000 deep in background checks.
The grid had been planning for Y2K for a long time before the event. There may have been a few small co-ops that could have slipped through, but, the entire world was already prepared for this event.
¿Truth hurt since it hit too close to home? Know you're over the target when you start taking flak.
No it didn't hit close to home. I'm 74, retired, veteran army 68-69.....and 6'0" @ 160 lb. Here's what I here you folks doing:
I stand corrected. Though actually it was the Hague Declaration III in 1899. The 4 Geneva Conventions incorporated that statement in addition to their 64 provisions. As to the USA, I did learn we did NOT sign the part about expanding munitions so it does not apply to us.
No military posts near me, but I shop the exchange online fairly often. No tax and free shipping over $49. Bought my gun safe there...was same price as other retailers but no freight cost/tax was significant. All veterans are eligible, so if you haven't yet -I'd recommend checking it out.
KARMA might just take care of your disgusting statement about your statement......
True, I have an account with the Navy Exchange. One thing I miss is the commissary, that would be outstanding if you could buy online with free shipping.
They must have been selling something more than ammo. There is no BATF license requirement for selling ammuntition, primers, smokeless powder, or percussion/musket caps; however, you need an explosive license to sell or store for resale of black powder. There may be a city, county, or state law they violated for selling ammunition without some type of local license, but not federal.
