Caliber for border defense? Serious border crossing threats

[eustace_stelio]

I like my odds with a 5.56/.223 or 300 bo against a hog.

Canadian super-pigs are coming.

Sooo, what kind of Canadian pig are we talking about here...?

 

[quneur]

There should be an unspoken rule: only hunt them with 'assault weapons'. And since they've banned them; they reap what they sow.

Pun intended.

Every time this topic comes up, I offer the same answer.

Idaho alligators. And we're done.

We need more clarification on that. WTF?

Thought I admit it sounds appealing…

" fish breeders of Idaho " near Haegerman Idaho raised approximately 10,000 gators for meat harvesting. They no longer do this , but it's obviously doable. Hot springs are the key.

Holy cow. I had no idea.

As an ex-Floridian, this is going to require some alcohol and long conversation with my father and brother to process. Fortunately tomorrow is an excellent day to do that…

(To clarify: we grew up around Louisville KY but moved to FL in the mid 80s). We all slowly moved to the PNW in the late 90s/early 00s).

That's why I'm terribly familiar with gators in my back yard, but did not know it was also an Idaho thing…

Oh, this is going to be a funny conversation at dinner tomorrow.

M67 90mm recoilless rifle with HE rounds should do the trick. Kill the pig and cook the bacon all at the same time.

It's the only way to be sure....

But, but that's DC we're talkng about.

Well, so much for my Christmas.

Launching .308 from a 12" barrel would be interesting. To quote the immortal words of Jimi Hendrix, "let me stand next to your fire'a".

I've long been toying with the idea of a 10.3" fixed (ie, Mk 18) or 12.5" takedown (ie, GAU-5 ASDW) concept scaled up to an AR10, maybe something like the SFAR, but in .30-06 shooting Garand ammo. (Why Garand? AP Ball M2, the only civilian-legal armor-piercing rounds.)

Saw this on a YouTube video. Good example of the "mini-thumper".

You heard it here first. And it's not our southern border with the cartel state. It's the northern one with the communist Trudeau.

A population of hard-to-eradicate 'super pigs' in Canada is threatening to invade the US

That's right, Canadian super-pigs are coming.


"Best caliber for super-pigs" should let us take a welcome break from bear caliber food-fiights. Hopefully Texas will enter the chat.

Canadian bacon on four legs.

Oh, you were talking about the four legged animals?

You mean Castro's illegitimate son?

Based on recent threats, I'd say a Nomex® fire suit is appropriate.

How crispy do you like your bacon?

I'm not saying that's what I was hinting at, but….
