Stray machine-gun fire strikes two Galveston homes » Local News » Pharos-Tribune

Holy ****. So which woman went crazy at the shoot? I remember a thread about that a while ago.

 

[mcolford]

I was going to go to that too.[. Didnt as my wife was not feeling well.

Yep, if ya can't catch the one who committed the crime, you should still arrest somebody!

I like Down By The Tracks, and it sounds like this was a freak accident, but it sounds like they are going to own up to it. Granted all I know is what Im reading from the local left-wing newspaper that enjoys running businesses through the mud. Thank the good lord there were no injuries, and hopefully this issue can be resolved without too much issue...

Whoa... Not cool

Not cool at all...

I presume this was associated with the LGS's machine gun / silencer shoot?

Yeah, it mentioned in the article that DBTT was sponsoring a shoot that day at the mentioned location.

That's a lot of firepower for a teeny tiny backstop. Hopefully lesson learned and no 85yo rotting in their recliner to be found in 3 weeks.

Not to make light of the current situation... But would 4 weeks be OK?

In Galveston? Really? Which scarecrow did you **** off?

Hah, at least you didn't make light of it. If I said a few would you have asked about a "couple"?

My point was they found these bullets because of noise of impact. Dead men tell no tales, and likely many more rounds escaped then they've found

I'm curious as to why they waited almost 2 weeks to report this story in the paper.

 

[95wrangler]

Im surprised that the backstop was only 4 feet tall. I would think a full auto rifle would clear that on the second or third shot with an untrained operator.

That is what I was thinking. Seems pretty irresponsible if those facts are true. Whenever a personal range is mentioned on this forum, everyone always says make sure nothing will leave your property. Well with a 4x4 backstop and fully auto firepower its was almost a matter of time before something would happen.

Sure it was an accident but hardly a freak one.

They know it was a Russian machine gun...wow nice detective work.
They don't know if any laws were violated? Local police turned it over to the ATF. Sounds like Andy and Barney want the people from Mount Pilot to solve the case.

Like the ATF needs to be involved in this, the only thing they would need to check was if the guns were legal which would take about 2 min. to look at the paperwork. Andy and Barney referece appropriate, but I think Andy would have been able to handle this on his own. Nowadays everybody is so afraid of their own shadow nobody wants to make a decision, it's the same in the military not just the police.

Officer's report says 60 to 70 people. Store's lawyer says 15-20. Hmm... Someone needs to learn to count one way or the other.

I live in Walton which is about 6 miles north of Galveston. I just read the article in the Pharos-Tribune. WOW!! Unreal!! This is why the state has ranges like Winamac FWA, JP and others because that is what they were built for VS shooting at some farm. Glad no one was injured.
