Don't gimme back my bullets

Posted by pete at February 10, 2005 6:23 AM

Anyone know how to safely dispose of bullets? Aside from firing them into the air for Chinese New Year, I mean.

I have a couple boxes of .223 rifle cartridges that aren't going to get used, and I don't want them sitting around the house (I don't own a .223 anyway). Everything I've looked up so far says to contact the police, so unless someone suggests something more efficient than hitting them with a rock or making a cool belt, I guess that's what I'll do.

Can't hold on to them until Halloween, eh?

We keep ours in the oven.

Haven't shot Donovan McNabb or Andy Reid then, I guess.

Baby toys?

Baby toys?

Feel free to suggest that one to The Wife.

Buy a .223 rifle.

Dude, you live in Texas. I'm sure there's an NRA member just waiting outside of your house to relieve you of those bullets. I mean, hell, there's stuff what needs shootin' out yonder!

I don't think I can really pull off the whole redneck-dialect, can I? I'll work on it...

Hang onto them. It's part of the Faith-Based Personal Security Retirement Plan, as in "bite the...."

I'll go away now.

You can get in line behind bgb.

No, but there's definitely a pretty big opossum out there that gives me the stinkeye some nights. I shudder to think what would happen if he got a hold of them.

Give them to me. I got a few problems to take care of.

Or make a movie and catch them in your teeth, that is so cool.

Charge $5K apiece for 'em? Would a) improve aim or b) reduce violence..
(orig. idea from Chris Rock. I think it was Chris Rock..)

Aside from buying a decent weapon for personal and family protection - the 250 yd accuracy is awesome with that round; we should talk - you could give 'em back to whom ever you got 'em. Was it on a hunting trip perhaps?

Make a cool belt with them and wear it in to the police station.

Ooooh! Even better. Entertain future generations! Bury them in the backyard underneath a copy of the Warren Report with "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry" scrawled all over it. Sign it, "Ted".

Send them to La Verkin, Utah. They need to protect themselves from the UN since La Verkin is *the only* UN free zone in the US. That damn, pesky Kofi Annan, why won't he leave the La Verkinites alone?!

Then again, send them to Woody Allen. he hasn't had a hit since Bullets Over Broadway. Maybe he just needs to reload.

I've got two words for you: charitable contribution.

I'm sure you're local SPCA will put them to good use *and* you get a tax deduction!

Denny, you're scaring me, LOL.

I like the burying idea, but better in someone else's front yard...
