Having grown up on a farm, and being the one from a young age designated to be the one to dispatch foxes, rabbits and sick animals, I can promise you that a 20 pack of 22LR will be sufficient for a couple of years.Quote:

Some of the references will make good secondary reading.
Interesting to see the dates of these reports and then read the titles to see a series of escalations in response.
Edit to include the timelines and titles:

They were certainly in their late sixties and talking about a unit reunion the week before where the discussion on arming occurred. One had a Vietnam Veteran sticker on his land cruiser. I have seen these guys around the area over the years and have no doubt they are veterans.
Anyway, yes scary!
They aren't [emoji6]Quote:

I don't think people get that.
