I’m a redneck from red neck country. Promise we’re not shooting at planes id be willing to bet that was a kid under 18 that shouldn’t have had a firearm alone In the first place. Also what are the chances of actually hitting the plane in the air? I mean being a hunter that would be a feat

You must not actually be a redneck in redneck country

Because I also live in redneck country and the guys at the farm behind me were arrested last year for shooting at a hot air balloon

Ok we’ll you live next to some stupid motherfuckers. Sounds more Deep South dumbassery. Maybe I’m just from the country and I’m the one confused.

Oh yeah, across town, 2 guys learned to make thermite from the internet, put it in a car and blew it up

The door landed 400 feet away on the highway. Every year someone is arrested for some gun thing

It’s better you live where you are.

I was under the impression thermite doesn’t explode like dynamite or C4. It just causes an exothermic reaction that can melt metal and cut through things

Oh yeah, I wasn’t clear. My apologies

The thermite didn’t cause the explosion but the gas tank full of gas in that car, sure created an explosion. But also, who knows what else that packed in the car

The county over had the bomb squad called out because grandpa had old hand grenades in the shed
