Fringe RW'ers shooting protected birds, cattle, and even National Guard tanks in Idaho

[ck4829]

For years, ATV-riding, gun-toting sport shooters have flouted gun laws in part of Idaho’s high desert by taking pot shots at ground squirrels and other animals.

Now, officials say, they’re also setting their sights on National Guard tanks that train in the area.

Idaho Army National Guard troops report slugs bouncing off their tanks on a regular basis.

Soldiers training for missions in Iraq or other war zones are only looking for simulated battles — not real bullets whizzing their way.

3. Support the troops, add live incoming fire to their training...

Sounds like one of those milita vs the US Army adventure books from back in the 90's

Was Slater the author of those?

4. I know a place they can go if they like shooting that much...

unfortunately, there will be some return fire coming their way (which is why they're hiding here taking pot shots and animals and tanks).
