The neighborhood is in decline.The bullets are live.No spent casings were found.I do know there were other persons unknown in the house and I did an internet search for ammo prices trying to learn more about the bullets.It did not sound like them paying $200 for ammo.$8.00 sounds more like them.I know in the past few years ammo prices has gone up.I am sleeping now with more lights on.When I see him or her again I will tell we are selling the house to a buyer.I will be contacting two possible buyers in about three weeks.I hope one of them will be interested enough to buy.Then I will go back to my own house.They are horribly addicted to smoking so I can see them spending $200 on packs of smokes.She can smoke 3 to 5 packs a day and he can do 3 packs a day and the baby gets all that second hand smoke.Yes I said maybe all that smoking is not good for the baby.All she ever said was that shes quitting.triffid

I remember a 22ga pelet gun my step dad had. 10 pump, real wood stalk, This thing was as close to a 22 riffle I had ever seen. Wont shoot through schools. But will shoot through tool sheds.

You're right, Magiuvin.  I shot at a squirrel in a tree with a 12ga. shotgun loaded with magnum "squirrel shells" and it had a recoil pad on the shoulder butt.  My shoulder still hurt for a couple of hours after that.

Small buckshot shouldn't go through a whole house, but rock salt would ruin a rioter's/burglar's day.  Or week.

Well, the neighbors might think you're expecting an invasion if you surround your house with it, say, atop a fence?

The 17 unspent, live rounds you found is strange.  Was it a warning?  Otherwise, leaving them in a rifle clip to fire at someone is the reasonable way to go about it.

Reedit:
1/4 or 1/5 of the country on the East Coast is getting clobbered by Hurricane Irene.  The economy will also feel this in financial problems.  Not everyone has flood insurance.
