[South Texas]Valley Ranchers Taking Up High-Powered Rifles to Protect Land

KRGV ^ | January 20, 2012

[Deaf Smith]

Limited magazine capacity (5 usually) and reloading one at a time...no suppressing fire power.

One could go with a SMLE, a bandoleer of loaded stripper clips and practice the Mad Minute. *If one could find a good supply of British 303.

How does THAT set with all of you?

I have a left-handed 700 30-06. It is very accurate at long ranges. Reach out and touch them before they touch you.

"An AK-47 semiautomatic assault rifle holds 30 rounds. It protects this ranch in Starr County, hundreds of acres. "It does have fire power and it's reliable," says the rancher."

[1malumprohibitum]

You are correct sir! An AR 15 with good optics would be a much better choice for that situation. An AR 10 would be ideal : )

[Lancey Howard]

It is very accurate at long ranges.

That's one reason the 700 is the basic frame for the Marines' preferred sniper rifle, the M40.

I'd sprinkle the ground with bottles of water laced with ipecac syrup (causes severe vomitting) as a token of welcome.

My family has a hunting cabin down near the border on some land we own. It's always getting broken into by the illegals, getting trashed, urinated in and on.

Going to have to do this. THANK YOU! It's a brilliant idea. I can think of a few things to mix in. Might have to buy our unwanted guests some beers or sodas with something mixed in.

[Gene Eric]

And it’s further complicated by the actions these ranchers deem necessary to protect their lives and land potentially putting themselves at odds with arbitrary law.

Arguably, the govt is intentionally exposing decent people to hostile circumstances without legal backing.

in a perfect world.......:o)

Till then my “truck gun” is an M1A.

Stay safe !

[razorback-bert]

A friend of mine that owns an oil company, tells all his employees, when they go near the border, go armed.

[mamelukesabre]

Tommy guns are antiques. The modern incarnation of that concept would be the FN-P90

Good luck getting full auto though.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Don’t put in anything that could kill or injury the trespasser. In today’s atmosphere with a rogue DOJ and feral judges, you’d be convicted of attempted murder.

Check your local laws on what to do when “threatened” by trespassers. If the law is “criminal trespass”, such as breaking and entering into one of your buildings, then you have a stronger case of defending against a daytime or night-time burglarly.

Make sure you have a watchdog, or if the environment is right, geese. Put the geese in a fenced in perimeter. I understand that even in Vietnam geese were used as perimeter guards, and they make a loud noise when disturbed.

No landmines, etc. Courts frown upon booby traps and you will go to jail, as well as be sued up the yingyang.

Remember to vote against Chairman Mao Hussein Obama and Comrade Erid Holder in November. A ballot, at the right time, is as good as a bullet.

[Squantos]

Yep.... same advice up here in the Panhandle.

Hope yer well....... Stay safe Bert !

[concentric circles]

Great documentary dealing with the peaceful citizens living on the border who are forced to deal with a real invasion:

Cochise County USA - Cries from the Border

If that rancher had that Barret 50 he could pick them off on the other side of the river, before they ever got to our country.. God Bless Ronnie Barret.

“An AK-47 semiautomatic assault rifle holds 30 rounds

Idiot news reporters, as usual. It “holds” whatever magazine is attached to it. 5, 10, 20, 30, 75...

Gawd, wouldn’t you think that, sooner or later, they’d accidentally hire someone who has a clue?”

That’s about what I was gonna say—stupid whorerespondents!

[Eagles6]

Short range weapon. Just in the .22 mag range. Wouldn’t want to get shot with one but it wouldn’t be in my top 10 choices.
