We have received word that at least two gun stores in Western States have been inundated with calls and sales regarding ammunition. We also have a similar report from Florida, but cannot be confirmed this at this time (still checking). In each case, there has been no explanation for this increase demand for ammunition in these areas.
We are asking all Sierra Times Alert List members to check their local firearms shops for any similar activity.
We do suspect however, with the Dow taking a dive in response to the Gore campaign (at press time -250) demanding yet another recount, this may be a trend.
This story is still developing. Stay Tuned to Sierra Times for updates.
Meanwhile, we have another situation brewing in Southern Utah. And Eastern Rural Nevada. On election day, with the blessing of the Local Sheriff, The Bullock family, joined by about 15 ranchers, took back about 45 head of cattle that was stolen by cattle rustlers, known locally as the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
No shots were fired. The cattle were returned to their owners from the pending auction.
"It was pretty Western: Police lined up on one side and us cowboys were on the other side," Bullock told the Salt Lake Tribune. The U.S Attorney and the BLM are upset, to say the least.
"The U.S. attorney believes this is an utter flaunting of the rule of law," said Melodie Rydalch, spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney. "We will pursue all administrative, criminal and civil remedies against the people who did this. . . . What happened [Tuesday], we can't let that stand." Rydalch said U.S. attorneys will be in court soon seeking legal action.
Once the cattle were returned, there were taken back and released in an undisclosed location.
Kane County Sheriff Lamont Smith, anticipating federal law enforcement action, dispatched his deputies Wednesday to interview Bullock and the ranchers to find out what happened in Salina.
Smith said if federal agents attempt to take back the animals from the ranchers, he will intervene to ensure the agents have proper documentation.
