And to think I TOUCHED that nasty live shotgun shell I found lying in the Walmart parking lot during duck season and didn’t bother the cop parked 70 feet from me.

Yes, they are kind of like pennies. You keep a bunch in your pocket and every now and then one gets dropped on the ground.

That photo reminds me of another classic. My personal favorite.

I bet they would sound the emergency sirens, declare martial law, bring out the tanks if a person left a brick (500 rounds)lying around.

I bet they called a SWAT team, a bomb disposal specialist or a robot to pick it up.

Or to really muck them up and to create a national furor, mail them out in a couple thousand envelopes, or tape one to a small helium balloon, let go with a couple thousand balloons upwind.

A friggin nation of lambs with all its neighbors building slaughterhouses.

The press and the lady called them bullets. Who are you going to believe? (/sarcasm)

Actual photo of the offending item:

Egad! Looks to be from a Remington "golden bullet" bulk pack, which means there are around 499 more of those evil, nasty things strewn about. < rolls eyes >

Roger the Shrubber was absolutely right - there *is* a pestilence upon that land.

What a chuckle. I love that video.

This past weekend, I was teaching my wife on the handling and loading techniques to be used on my rifle. I made the mistake of holding up a cartridge and pointing out the "shooty end" versus the "non-shooty" end. She was not amused and the look she gave me indicated that she did not need a rifle to kill anything that was within 10 paces of her.
