That's not legal?!? Who knew...

Shotguns and rock salt go together like potatoes and gravy or George and Gracie! They were made for each other!

Watching the leaves fall, sippin' Tequila at Slippy Lodge on the back porch. A modern sporting rifle or 3, a 12gauge and a .45 that won two world wars, nearby so...:samflags:

Screw the bastards who hate us...

There used to be a place online you could order specialty shotshells from. They had all that "dragon's breath" and flechette kinda circus stuff. But I did order some 12 gauge loaded with rock salt, still have it somewhere. My favorite round for them was 20 gauge "hog shot" which is basically two ball bearings in each shell. I figure 4 of those babies out of my coach gun would stop most anything.

Years ago, I had a friend who had someone running over his mailbox with a P/U truck. He worked in a machine shop which frabricated all sorts of things large and small. He got some 4" solid steel rod and welded a sturdy triangulated base with 3" angle iron. The next time the mailbox got ran over, he replaced the box using the above base and pole, with the base buried. The pole was dressed/covered in real birch bark making it look like a homemade (well it was) wooden post.

A few nights later he heard a crash, the a bit of commotion. He got up to see what happened and found the mailbox hit. The post held and the base had unearthed, then hung up the truck for a while while the driver jerked the truck back and forth to get free. The driver/truck got away, but he left a trail of antifreeze and motor oil. That was the end of the mailbox problems.

The mailbox this time was undamaged, the post wasn't even bent. He reset the base/post and the mailbox.

I have always thought of doing that but just assumed if somebody did hit it, especially if accidentally, the attorneys (liars) would have a field day with me...

I do know a guy that made his mailbox post about 6' away from the road, the mailbox itself was attached, kinda like a radial arm, where is the plow truck hit it, it would just swing off to the side, then auto reset via spring.
