I've seen several postings coming up on forums about it, but like most ammo hereabouts I haven't seen it...

I've develioped a few things (non firearms related) and can share my view......
In MY case, knowing others would likely try to copy the idea and knowing I didn't have the funds to pursue legal action very long, Here's what I did: I didn't share the idea with anyone. I developed it, tested it and refined it. Then I set aside as much money as I could to make as many of them as I could. THEN, I released video and pics of it, and was set up to take orders. The money I made went into producing more. Sure enough, a couple other people copied it, but I was ahead of the game and most everyone knew it had been MY idea, so the copycats didn't get as much business.
Now, if I had thought my design would have revolutionize the industry, a patent may have been worth the effort. As it is, I'm still receiving royalties from someone that took over selling them. I don't have to do anything but collect the monthly check.
This is where I'm at with a tool that I make. While two other makers came up with similar designs that wouldn't have violated a patent if I had one, they are behind the curve and I'm determined to keep them there. Right now I'm concentrating on niche sales and getting into larger suppliers, already did the ebay sale thing to determine regions to concentrate on, now I'm looking at several local manufacturers to produce these while I develop more products.

My father-in-law was an engineer for Lockheed in CA at the time of the Challenger explosion, worked in the "blue building" at the Santa Clara facility. He was immediately shipped out to help with the investigation, as part of his work was the wiring and electrical systems. We had a chunk of the insulation that covers the outside of the shuttle, that was amazing stuff. He heated it up with torch till it was red hot then tossed it at me. Not thinking, I caught it...in the time it took to "fly" the 5-6 feet between us it was room temp. Shoulda snagged it when I left the wife but was about the farthest thing from priority at the time, then she screwed up and lost the house with everything in it. Bet the people cleaning it out had no clue as to what it was...

That must be a Giraffe he's aiming at...
He's in southern Missouri, he's aiming at the black bear that's about to jump on his ass out of the next tree over... saw a video on youtube two guys took while up in a tree stand, black bear rumbling around on the ground below. All of sudden that joker is UP the tree PAST them and is hanging about four feet above them! He finally slides down past them onto the ground, then all of a sudden a MUCH bigger blacky comes running out of the woods and they run like hell, the big one right on the tail of the smaller one.
Man, I'd need clean underwear for sure after that@!

I clean stuff with Dawn, hot water then a good wipe down with lint-free paper towels and 90% rubbing alcohol. I wear nytril gloves when I powder coat stuff, been three years now without a problem on any of the tools, motorcycle and car parts and misc metal stuff that I've coated.

AIM has about the best price on the 440 round spam cans, usually it's SGammo but they sell out pretty fast here lately. Classic's offering at $120 per is the highest I've ever seen by the crate, probably a sign of things to come. Those of you who have a Fleet Farm or a Dunhams near you, check them out they still regularly have them on sale for $80 for the 91/30's.
If you've never shot one, make damn sure you wear at LEAST muffs, double protection is even better. This ammo was made for machine guns and you get about a 4' fireball out of them, I've actually set the grass on fire from mine last summer

My wallyworld had about 30 boxes of x39 Tulammo on the shelf today so I got my three boxes, paid with my Paypal business account debit card...bought rope, and five jars of vaseline...they can make what they want out of that.

three boxes of Tulammo x39 at my Walmart today, they had about 30 boxes on the shelf but sales limited to three per day.

What you may not be aware of is that Walmart agreed with the Administration to retain the store video survelliance tapes of all persons buying ammo.
Firearms, not ammo.

Never had any problems at all dealing with Classic, glad to see it was a "golem in the gears". I bought my first Mosin from them a couple years ago and it was in better shape than what they'd lead me to believe on the posting, last year I got in on the Saigas right before they dried up from them at $319, shipping for the Mosin was $22 back then, and shipping on the Saiga was I believe $26. Both were shipped fast IMHO.

Mine bought my first Mosin after I got my C&R FFL, brought home an Armscor M1600 .22 semi for my birthday that she bought from a friend of ours at work, paid for my CCW class and permit for an anniversary present, and wants me to hurry up and fix the Spanish .32 that I bought with a broken firing pin so she can shoot it. Picked up my Norinco Hawk HD 12 gauge shotgun on the 23rd, brought it in and unboxed it. She hefted it up and said "I know it'll kick like hell but I can't wait to shoot it...at least once!"
I picked a good one this time around for sure...

Yesterday picked up my IAC Hawk 12 gauge shotty, 300 rounds of 6 shot, 100 rounds of slugs, 80 rounds of Fiocchi low-recoil 00 buck, 5 pounds of Pyrodex ffg, four boxes of Blazer brass 9mm FMJ, recoil spring for an Eibar Echasa GZ .32 that I'm working the bugs out of and a slip on recoil pad for the shotty.

Wore many hats during my 53 years, tried out a lot of different vocations and never did find one that I really liked till I went to work for a Dept. of Defense program rebuilding the AGT 1500 diesel turbine engines. I spent a number of years as the Q.A. Inspector over the Final Assembly and Packing department as well as Tech writer for the program. Boss hired me because I have a couple of novels and wanted someone to rewrite and upgrade the tech manuals for the program and didn't know that writing fiction and technical work share little to nothing in common. Stayed there and in the National Guards until my unit got called up and they figured out that I can't hear but about 15% and was sliding by lip-reading...so now I'm "retired", but started up my own little company about three years ago making a few firearm accessories, now trying to decide whether to expand or shove it all into a local manufacturing company and let them deal with that part of it and just work on distribution.

The only problem I've heard with Texas is finding public use land to shoot on.
-
From Wiki:
"Shooting downwards in the dark, with his shotgun, loaded with birdshot, Martin evidentially shot three times towards the intruders (once when they were in the stairwell and twice more when they were trying to flee through the window of an adjacent ground floor room)."
I think Texas might be the only state you could get away with that. Most other states probably would get you for shooting an individual trying to flee.
Missouri. Year or so ago here we had a guy go out and start up his truck, leaving it running while he went back into the garage. Came out to find a guy driving off in it. Shot three times. Killed the thief. Even though the shooter had an active warrant for a minor deal he wasn't charged as our Castle Doctrine extends to your "property" and "manner of conveyance". There's been several shootings in the state where houses had been broken in to, new construction and such, so someone started spending the nights in them, ended up killing someone after they broke in, no charges. Had a guy who owned a used car lot, he slept some nights in the back, woke up to the front glass being kicked out, fired once from a .357, the cops found the guy around the corner of the building dead. No charges...most of the cops hereabouts are tired of arresting the same dirtballs over and over again, fine by them.

Just picked up 100 lbs of lead, 20 boxes of 209 primers and five jugs of Pyrodex.

Orange ones says in stock but 2-3 weeks to ship.

Cabela's has this special, you won't find it looking through their site, just like the Herters ammo special.

Now, I just ordered 100 rounds for the heck of it although I don't need any, and it gave me the $5.95 shipping automatically even though I was nowhere near $99 total on the order.

Bought the one box of Federal 9mm FMJ that walmart had since I was out of Federal. Got a local farm and home that I have to drop in on tomorrow that still has 9mm in stock, no 7.62x39 to be found short of running up into the city to Cabela's and hoping... but I'm set pretty well on that but got a "new" Chinese SKS that I haven't shot yet.

Frankly I'm more worried about them stopping making bacon SPAM....it seems like it takes them entirely too long to restock the shelf after I buy all five cases of it that they have out...
-
I did fall a bit short in this panic-mode buying, but that was only because I decided to expand my current firearms to include a home defense 12 gauge and I had absolutely NO ammo for it since I didn't own one. Finding the shotgun itself wasn't easy, a quick visit to the local guys turned up nothing at all on hand and Davidson's OUT of anything under a 28" barrel it seemed and I didn't relish taking a hacksaw to a new one. Finally caught Bud's right after they got a shipment of the Interstate Arms 18" pumps in and snagged one, hopefully it'll be here end of next week or first of the week after. Hunting across the internet, located a sale on Fiocchi low-recoil 00buck, $50 for 80 rounds in a Plano ammo box so snagged two of those and the local sporting goods store here has BBB on sale for $100 shipped for a case. And stopped in a farm and home store here locally that actually still has 9mm stocked so picked up more of that as well. Just need to stop shooting it up for a bit, looks like...

Yeah, kinda like the people complaining that they can't get ammo.

I've bought buttloads of firearm related stuff off Amazon, this is probably just some idiot that all of a sudden couldn't buy "how to make bombs" books on there so started this BS.
