Ah the scent of summer wafting on the breeze: BBQ, steaks on the grill, toasted minivan...

Normally for the 4th of July I might use it as an excuse to poke a few holes in targets. I have a new 9mm carbine and a new 5.56 pistol I have been wanting to break in I thought about grabbing a couple 30 rd mags for each then I remembered how much ammo costs these days and decided to fire off a single 12 ga shell instead, that and the landowner behind me had recently moved cattle onto the 360 acres adjacent to my place this limits my possible range firing angle to a few degrees down range which would not be a problem as I have a half mile of my own property in that direction but there is no high berm there either

Like artillery, or dug-in troop emplacements, proximity of the ammo dump is a tremendous concern.

I'm sure the firework carton is what ignited.

How does any of that random rambling have anything to do with the posted video?

I hope the little guys that were hanging out at the van tailgate were okay.

The video ended too soon

That looked to be $1000 or more of fireworks! Nothin like almost killing your family to celebrate the 4th! And it's their god given right to exercise the freedom to do so!
