Wideners has an explosion.
I hope this doesn't affect them too badly.

quote:
At around 10 a.m. this morning an explosion at the edge of Locust Lane, off of Indian Ridge Road in Washington County, was heard across Boones Creek, Jonesborough and parts of Johnson City.

According to officials, a 30 x 30 metal storage building, owned by Stan Widener, was the source of the explosion this morning. Within the building fireworks and shell casings were stored.

There were no injuries, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is investigating the cause of the explosion at this time.

I was thinking either Peta, ELF, or ALF.
Spiking trees, burning down ski resorts, burning down beef processing plant...this sounds like their style.

Bleeding over from the blue dot thread,

Weidner's has a section at ARFCOM.

According to a post from Weidner's it wasn't their building.

Just ordered 2,000 more 55-grain FMJs. Gettin' 'em while I still can. Product plus shipping is equal to what I'd have paid retail sans tax at Scheels. None to be had at Scheels. I checked the other day. 2,000 more primers and I'm set for about ten years...
