How hard is it to drive to a range (past all of the warning signs), get out of the car, and walk into the impact area?
Incidentally, the last couple of weeks have clearly been an artillery exercise to anyone who was not deaf. We live abput three miles from the edge of the reservation, and our house was occasionally rattled.
We had scrap metal thieves when I ran Coleman back in the late 80s.
Recently a bunch of illegals sold a load of scrap off Bragg to a Raleigh recycler who discovered after the furnace exploded that there were a bunch of 81mm duds in the load. They must have been watching the news, because when the law went to round up the aliens, the trailer had been cleaned out and they were long gone.
