“Brandon James was in for quite a shock Tuesday night,” myfoxdetroit.com reports. “He says he went to bring in the garbage bins when he realized his daughter’s car, just recently driven in from Colorado for Thanksgiving, had been stolen – right out of their Ridgewood Street driveway on Detroit’s west side. Inside the 2013 Nissan Ultima was one thousand rounds of exploding ammunition.” Holy gang bangers go BANG Batman! Exploding ammo! “Police treated this incident as a high priority; the massive amounts of explosive ammunition is said to be armor piercing.” Armor piercing exploding ammo? Now that IS a serious sitch. “In a matter of hours police located the vehicle only three blocks away, but it was up on blocks. The wheels and rims were gone – and so was all of the ammunition.” The po-po absolved Mr. James’ daughter of responsibility but the Bat Signal is up. As in BS. [h/t Knuckles]
I don’t see the special Mosin-Nagant M44 option…
Loose lips sink ships.
I’ll bet someone bragged about the cars contents, and Lil Ray Ray called his boyz for a score.The rest is history, as is that box of ammo.
Nah. I bet it was stolen for the rims, and the ammo was just a lucky bonus.
The lede was buried:
““In a matter of hours police located the vehicle only three blocks away,”
Quite the bit of detective work, to discover a car on blocks within a half mile of the house. And to have it only take a matter of ‘hours’, too. What industry and effort.
They really went out of their way to embarrass themselves, didn’t they.
*sigh* If I had a nickle for every time someone called an Altima an “Ultima” I’d be able to afford an entry-level pistol by now…
With a terrible sense of dread, Saul realized he had become the anti-gunner’s wet dream on “Bring Your Phallic Symbol to Work” day

AP exploding tip ammo? How does a lolly civilian get their hands on that kind of ammo? Seriously I want some.
AND TO FINISH WITH YOU ASSHOLES…BE CAREFUL BECAUSE ONE OF THIS DAYS IN ONE OF YOUR CONCERTS, PEOPLE WILL THROW ROTTEN EGGS AT YOUR FACE AT THE STAGE.
As Bill and George discussed their plans for all the birds they’re going to take, Roger suddenly came to the unhappy realization that he forgot to buy ammo.
Dan, I could truly relate to your story. I didn’t see my dad from the age of 6 until I was in my mid 20’s and really didn’t start to build a relationship with him until I was in my 30’s. I was in my 40s when we finally went together to see a baseball game. We have shot together, and he has tried to teach me how to shoot trap. He has shot at the Grand American Trap shoot several times back when it was still in Ohio. And I have coached him at handgun shooting. All good stuff! Glad that you and your dad have gotten together. Like you, I was the one that reached out to him, and I had the same butterflies in my stomach when arriving at his house. I hope you and your dad can continue to enjoy many years to enjoy each other as a family.
Great story, well written. This will be an excellent article to share with people who are just getting started or just starting to show an interest in firearms. Bookmarked for that purpose!
Garland should pursue a civil action against the feds. I`m sure they went after him for speaking out about what Holder and company was doing. The discovery and subpoena for documents will prove very interesting.
“… Our constitution gives us the right to bear arms. …”
Hey, now wait a minute. I though the right to protect ones self and to keep and bear arms was a God-given, natural right that all people possessed. I'm pretty sure I learned that factoid right here on TTAG.
And here too.
Just to be sure everyone is clear. This is NOT, I repeat, NOT noise reduction.
It’s an AMPLIFIER of normal speach sounds, that mutes the amplification of gunfire.
You MUST wear hearing protection for this to work properly!
I own that Beretta Brooks Brothers Wax coat the writer mentioned and it is on damn fine shooting jacket!
