Panic much?

You know what I like best about most people? Their dogs.

Are you kidding me / Face palm thread

OMG, we found some old ammo (again)!

"This is the second time old ammunition has been found at the home. Just last week, the bomb squad spent about half an hour disposing of shotgun shells found there."

Them boys down there must wear pink panties....

I guess they'd evacuate all of Evansville if they came to my house

 

[SSGSAD]

In B4 merge, or LOCK .....

Do I laugh now, or later .....

I do not want to say how much of

my "neighborhood", they would have to evac .....

 

[Birds Away]

If that were found at my house all of the neighboring homes would be evacuated, too. They'd all be at my house digging around underneath it.

What size mortar were they for?

OMG... where does this level of paranoia and over reaction come from. If I found that under my house the second trip would be with a can of WD and a can of PB Blaster. Soak it down and move it out later. After all its been there for a while, so it's not likely to go BOOM.

Note: This wasn't like they found 75 rounds of .308.

It was a crate of grenades.

Turned out to be chalk training rounds - but that wasn't determined until later.

Seriously? I hope so. Because losing their minds over bullets just makes my head hurt. Qrenades though...whole other ball of wax.

Thank (Insert deity of your choice here) that it was OLD ammunition. Just think how much damage new ammunition would have done!

From the article. Bomb Squad for shotgun shells???

What's your source on that? Since they called out the bomb squad for those shotgun shells the week before . . .

This article is a year old. I thought I had seen it before.

I hadn't heard the grenade story. My first thought (if it was rifle ammo) was that I'd throw it in the tumbler and see how it cleaned up. Heck, 40 years old is practically brand new compared to some ammo I have (and shoot regularly)!

Is has to be April 1st. Ha Ha. What should my Mother do with my Grandfathers old .22lr's? EOD?

When I went to school, San Antonio was in Texas.
