Odds ‘n Sods:

Russ in Georgia sent an article link from Israel that reminds us that the threat of bulldozers [1] should be considered when planning for defending your retreat. It doesn’t take much welding know-how for a miscreant to add a few armoring plates to a Cat [2]. With this in mind, have you laid in a small supply of AP [3] ammo? Let me clarify about the Federal law here in the US: There are no Federal restrictions on most “rifle” AP ammunition, but things get complicated for ammo that can also be fired through some pistols. Pre-ban manufactured AP “pistol” ammo is legal for private parties to buy, possess, and shoot (in most states) [4], but only if it is not newly-loaded, or bought from a FFL holder. That makes the small quantities still available on the secondary (private party) market scarce and expensive.
