Looks like it was just a maintenance building. Don't need another reason for less ammo.

I don't think that's what they mean by "once fired brass".

stay safe.

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Quote
A fire sale is the sale of goods at extremely discounted prices, typically when the seller faces bankruptcy or other impending distress. The term originated in reference to the sale of goods at a heavy discount due to fire damage.

Does it still count as a pun if that was its original meaning?  ??? :lol:
