    An act of desperation?

    I work in the oil field, and average about 2 cities a week in my travels. The wal-marts in Odessa, Midland, Abilene, Pecos, Kennedy, and my home town of San Angelo, Tx, all have very good stock in the last month on ammo. The Walmart in Carlsbad, Nm, conversely, has almost nothing.

    Ranges/land lease near Austin Texas that allow Tannerite/SureShot/explosive targets?

    I would contest that assertion. By definition, if someone's been doing something like shooting longer than just a short time, then they're no longer a neophyte... Our city dump/waste management facility doesn't do anything different with tvs or any appliances than any other trash.

    The armed citizen's (CCW holder) response: At what point do you intervene?

    When watching the videos my first thought/reaction was that those guys are big enough, and their jackets were bulky enough that all 3 could easily be wearing body armor... which was followed immediately by, "crap, 3 guys, head or limb shots only--limbshots being pretty much impossible, followed...

    Ranges/land lease near Austin Texas that allow Tannerite/SureShot/explosive targets?

    It's a long drive, about 4-5 hours from Austin, but Tom Green County (San Angelo) doesn't have a burn ban in effect, and we have at least 2 ranges that let you shoot Tannerite or Sureshot targets. The main one- aobut 3 miles from town- probably wouldn't let you shoot appliances, but Devil's...
