One of the biggest marijuana grows in Western Washington has been found in Pacific County.

Drug investigators from two counties say they found 20,000 pot plants growing by a campsite with irrigation equipment and firearms. They add that a 48-year-old man carrying a loaded 10 mm handgun was arrested and others fled into the woods about 10 miles southeast of South Bend.

Seems like there should be a lot more of them out there somewhere.

They also found one large, potted plant in the Oval Office.

(I know, it’s not quite the same thing; but the word “Dope” applies in this case too.)

Who uses a 10mm anymore?!

It was supplanted by the .40 S&W, a shorter 10mm.

nation of origin?

The Mexican Mafia has plantations all over the country.

Why smuggle it in when you can grow it near the populated areas where it gets consumed?

The original 10mm loading was a high performance round but with stout recoil a lot of the FBI agents (that the round was designed for) couldn't or wouldn't adapt too. While the current popular loadings are anemic, the original is still a very nice performer.

I am quite familiar with the 10mm.....first introduced as a wildcat in the Bren Ten and popularized by Sonny Crockett in Miami Vice.

Colt introducted a 1911 model, the Delta Elite, chambered in 10mm. A friend of mine has one and it is a great shooter.

The complaints about recoil are similar to those found with .45 ACP.......you must practice and get accustomed to the recoil if you want to carry something with decent power.

The .40 has been widely adopted, but it supplants the 9mm as a superior round, while not equalling the performace of the warhorse .45

Nice! They have probably eliminated .000000001% of the worlds supply in one fell swoop. I feel safer. Think I’ll stop on the way home and get a pint of whiskey for the corner store to celebrate. LOL!

“20,000 pot plants”

That’s a very large payday.

I’ve been waiting for you to pop up.

A little over a year ago I posted something about Iran that really upset you. I found your response extremely rude. The past couple of weeks have given me insight as it pertains to segments of the Iranian population.

I now know that I was wrong and I was over the top.

I wanted to publicly apologize to you. I am sincerely sorry for what I said at the time.

I didn’t post this in a PM, as I felt it needed to be public to really mean anything.

You do not need you to respond to this post, but I needed to write to you. I will be away from the computer anyway.

Sionnsar, many of my posts are over the top and will no doubt continue to be, they may be in poor style, but it is my style. However, YOU are the recipient of one that has bothered me, especially when I learned that I was wrong in my thinking. I apologize.

Sincerely,

Gator113

Gator113, I have forgotten completely. If I was rude, I apologize. That is not my wont.

You did not need to apologize, I did, but I am not going to argue with you. ;>)

Thank you..

Maybe that's why I'm having trouble with my shrubs this year. I haven't planted any firearms.
