The “Mrs.”?
I didn’t know you’d married Connie too.

Interesting. I had the same ‘bomb stopper’ conversation with one of my sons yesterday. I’m in NYC all the time now and it came up. Handguns aren’t going to do it for terror bombs.

Jess is a extreme sports type (climber/kayaks/etc) and we discussed what a briefcase survival pack might contain.

Water, flashlight, leatherman, hi-octane energy bars, and a plastic smoke hood with 15 mins of oxygen that has a 5 year shelf life and is the size of a small tomato soup can.

They are already carry’ng earthquake kits around in Kali, so this might be the eastcoast version.

Bummer!

Heh. I ordered a combination of .30-06, .223, and .45 ACP today totaling more than 1400 rounds. It wasn’t because of any attacks, I just needed the ammo and the AIM catalog had some good deals.

It’s hard to stop bombs with a gun, but guns are effective against many other terrorist tactics.

My local Wal-Mart sells 200 round boxes of Federal .223 55 grain hollowpint for $49.99. Best price I’ve seen outside of the internet or a gun show. Last month they were very low on all pistol ammo, I talked to the sporting goods guy and told him if he purchased a bunch of the WWB in every caliber available it would sell. He did and it did. Now he’s going to be buying it on a more regular basis. Yea Wal-Mart!

Yeah, the WWB is displacing everything else at IDPA.
It’s pretty good stuff, for the price. I found a bunch at a local salvage place – the “old” 100 rounders, with the styrofoam, not the new ones in the slimmer packaging, for $14… Ought to hold me for a few months.

Our local Wallyworld sells absolute crates of the 100-rounder WWBs, and the new Remington 100 round packs (a little more, but with hollowpoints).

So far, none of the places around here that sell ammo seem to have noticed. How, I don’t know..

Yeah, the one in Alcoa. Definitely a good price.

Wallyworld down where you live? Those are pretty darn good prices. I hope my local Walblight doesn’t rook me with higher cost.
