"A solicitation which appears on the FedBizOpps website asks for 16,000 rounds of .40 S&W jacketed hollow point (JHP) bullets, noted for their strength, to be delivered to locations in Ellsworth, Maine, and New Bedford, Mass.

A further 6,000 rounds of S&W JHP will be sent to Wall, New Jersey, with another 24,000 rounds of the same bullets heading to the weather station in St. Petersburg, Florida.The solicitation also asks for 500 paper targets to be delivered to the same locations in Maine, Massachusetts and New Jersey."​

Hmm....

I've tried to shoot down a tornado a couple of times.


It doesn't work.

I tried a 10gauge on Gustave, didn't work either

Wonder what they know that ain't making it's way to us? Expecting the lights to go out? Alwell guess we'll find out.

A few weather stations are getting a few thousand rounds of standard issue LE ammo and paper targets. It sounds like the coastal weather stations are setting up their guys to be able to defend themselves, I'm guessing during/after weather events.

Orrrrrrrr...maybe they are armed and ready to defend their weather control machines!

Judging by some of their forecasting, there's always the chance they ordered the wrong caliber.

10mm from opposite sides should generate enough force to stop a tornado dead. OR it could open a black hole and destroy the universe... your call

Absolutely. I don't doubt they ordered ammo and targets. It's the spin infowars tries to put on it that I find hilarious. That's less ammo than your average small town police department orders annually. And "powerful ammo"? That sounds like something a liberal anti-2nd reported would call it. It's just standard issue law enforcement ammo.

 

[Ritten]

That's less ammo than your average small town pistol competitors order monthly.

FIFY....

Some BS members may have that much ammunition available.

I know someone fairly high up the managerial chain at the St. Petersburg station-- I'll see if they have any info.

Ha! Wouldn't surprise me.

I'm not opposed to this. So long as they get training and aren't going to abuse it.

I did. Before the boating accident and all of my guns and ammo went to the bottom of the lake,

If they line up on the firing line and all fire 10mm at once it could throw the earth off of its axis and the weather would really go crazy. That must be why it's .40 they are using.

I have people that protect my weather machine, so I don't have to

FedBizOps isn't all that reliable. When I bought a large quantity of Glock 19s the solicitation was listed under NOAA.
