I know how it is on the border.One defunkt website,ranchrescue.com told of the misery and horrors of these illegals.I referred to it,as for our visit to Tombstone,AZ.It is scarey,none-the-less.
So,yes,I do know what is going on.
The guy that owned San Pedro Saddlery,on Fremont St in T'stone told me "If you are going on the back trails,load up.I'm serious.". I bought 5 lbs of American Pioneer Powder 2F,from him.
I did take my 45 Colt,45-70,and a couple other guns.
I know what I had was no match for an AK-47 or an AR-15/M-16.But at least,We felt safer than unarmed tourists.
Our last trip to Vail,Wickenburg and Tombstone,in May 2007,yes, I did take my guns and ammo.
Yes, the story is bogus.
I do know that part of Arizona is not bogus.Not happy that we conceeded a part of U.S. soil to those criminals.
Will tell you, that a firefight is coming soon.Have forum friends in Arizona.Do wish I could be there backing them up.
My Uncle said over 40 years ago, that Mexico will take over without firing a shot.
A LEO in the comments below the article say so.Look for Ranger1340.My comment is 45 Colt.
In other web pages,another one lives in the same area.He also said it's not true.
I kept a skeptical eye on the story.I wanted to make sure of what was going down before anything else.
If the story would be true,all "H" would break loose.And,yes,I would step up my reloading,and casting bullets.
In Modesto, MS-13 is here.With several other gangs.
2 of my former co-workers are naturalized citizens from Mexico.Both said "They should have to stand in line like we did.".For illegals,they are not happy.
I know,I was training them on the Atlas Pacific peach pitters,and re-pitters,as mechanics.
To give you an idea,I've worked in the cannery for nearly 25 years.I was seasonal belt sorter for years.
Worked my way up the mechanic ladder to full time employee.
When I got to work one night,was asked "Have you heard ?" "No.What happened ?" Story goes like this:
The (now former)employee signed up for the seasonal cannery job.Given picture ID,and the rest of what is used for the sorting belt.(Ear plugs,blue bump cap,plastic gloves,hairnet,and apron) Apparently worked for a few days.With first and second shifts,are paid on Friday.(Third shift is paid on Thursdays-10:00PM to 6:00AM.
So technically paid on Fridays)
Well, he decides to "skip work".Gives his ID to another one.Checks given out,as ID's are checked.
HMMM,we have a slight problem;face don't match the ID.BP gets called.Another illegal busted.The employee gets fired.
Been to TJ a couple times.Wasn't for pleasure.My cousin was taking laetril treatments at Clinica De La Cydel.
Our next door neighbors took us down there."Us= my Aunt and Uncle and I"
I can tell you,I didn't care for TJ.
Now,it's more dangerous than ever.
