One of my Page County, Virginia buddies out there by the Shenandoah, a
guy who is completely non-political, says he is planning to buy a .308
rifle to scare off the "assholes who put Trump yard signs on his
property along the state highway without permission." I don't think
he'll shoot any of them, but I'm guess their pick-me-up truck tires
might be targeted if he catches them.

And that's not being political?


Yeah, he didn't want anyone's political signs up on his property. The
property is posted -no trepassing, no hunting, et cetera.

Ok so now it's anyone's signs. Not just trumps. Why didn't you say that to begin with?

Apparently the Trumpsters were the only ones who stuck political signs
on his property.

What the guy may not realize is that he doesn't own the land just beside the road. That's typically a right-of-way that is owned by the state, and is where those signs were likely placed. If he uses that .308 on someone's tires as suggested, he'll just end up in jail. You can't use a rifle to "scare off" someone without consequences.

Sounds like aggravated assault to me and in Florida it gets you a
mandatory 20 years if you fire a gun.


Hope he gets the rifle, whatever he gets, because I'll be able to
"borrow it" on my trips out there...though he said ammo was not cheap.


Typically you can get 7.62x51/.308 for around half a buck a round
(brass) but if you want the good stuff it is a buck or more. That
chinese/russian steel is cheaper but I will not put it in my M1A.
I still have a bunch of military surplus that I got for 33 cents a
round. It shoots very well.

He should be sure it is actually his property. Usually the state owns
30-40 feet from the centerline of the road. That is even true in
little neighborhood streets. It is 33 feet (from C/L) in front of my
house. If I wanted, I could make the county mow the first ~10 feet of
my yard. It was the same in Clinton. I found that out when I wanted to
widen my driveway. I ended up making it 25' wide on my part and the
existing single lane in the ROW.

You didn't 'owe' me anything. It was a gracious gift to go towards a gift I plan to give an old Army
veteran (a few years older than me, anyway). He served two tours in Vietnam, lost his job when his
company folded, and is now living with his son and getting only Social Security.

He loves shooting, especially my Kimber .45. We go at least every two weeks. He had left his guns,
including a Colt M1911, with a son in Washington whose house was broken into. The guns were stolen
along with all the other valuable stuff.

He needs a gun. I'd been looking at some .45's with him in mind and have settled on the Ruger
SR1911, which will run about $675.

When I mentioned this to Alex, he immediately offered to help buy the gift, using the proceeds from
his bet with Harry. Harry probably would have donated the money anyway...maybe...out of the goodness
of his heart.

Harry, thanks for coming through on your bet.

Alex, thank you too! I've not ordered the gun yet. Waiting to see if the Trump election will cause
prices to drop a bit. Lots of dealers really stocked up expecting Hillary to win.

Harry's money will be well spent!

Yesterday a golf buddy who has a huge garden came over to pick up some leaves (about 30 bags -
mulched) for his garden. We got the pickup loaded and came in for some coffee. He is a true blue
liberal, said he stayed in bed for three days after the election. We had a bit of discussion about
the Washington Post and CNN and the advantages of using Google News as a home page.

Anyway, we started talking guns. He's wanting a small 9mm which he can operate. He's 84 now and
pulling the slide back on his .45 is getting hard. He's got one of the old Colt Commanders. During
the discussion, I mentioned my buddy Carmen, and told him about my plan. I also told him the whole
story of Harry's 'generosity' which gave him a kick.

Last evening, after thinking about it on the ride back out to his house (about an hour's ride), he
gives me a call. Says he wants to add some money to the til for the SR1911.

So, by the grace of two liberals, I'm ever closer to getting that gun for Carmen!

Thanks again!


How ironic. The liberals are stashing guns and ammo while their
leaders are trying their best to gun grab from honest
citizens.

I wonder how many liberals own stock in gun companies and do their anti-second amendment **** just
to drive up demand.


The gun stocks are way down since Trump won. I bet ammo will get
cheaper too in the short term.

Oh hell, it would be worth it to shoot out the enemy's tires,
no?Snerk!

I shot a. Bunch of steel in my m1-garrand. It worked pretty good. But I made sure to clean the barrel to get out any redefine of spent powder. Even though it was supposed to be safe, I still didn't trust it's "cleanliness " as of to say..,

I know. Now that he's won, the pressure is off. Many dealers are in an overstock situation. That's
why I'm waiting to see if the prices come down on the SR1911.

And you call others 'redneck'. You think shooting at someone's tires is appropriate behavior for a
sign posting?
