Shocker: there are bird hunters in the Panhandle

What kind of special idiocy is required to call authorities about two men in camouflage with shotguns?

A pair of fowl hunters sparked a brief lockdown of a Texas nuclear weapons plant Friday, officials said.

"They were just doing what people do around here," said Carson County Sheriff Tam Terry. "They just had a lot more company than they were planning on."

The sheriff's office got a call around 7:20 am from an employee of B&W Pantex who saw two men getting out a vehicle dressed in camouflage and carrying guns a couple miles from the plant.

The men were soon found in a nearby field setting up goose decoys and a blind.

They were very cooperative and quickly provided identification showing that they were Pantex employees, Terry told AFP.

No charges will be filed in the case and it appears as though the men -- who were hunting on a day off from work -- had permission from the owner of the land to hunt there.

Some people don't have a clue.

Doesn't everybody know that only cops and the military should have guns?

Why would anyone else need them?


Of course, I'm being VERY sarcastic.

I read through some of the commnts. One person said he thought the hunters acted foolishly. Unbelieveable.

I'm still not sure why this would even be in that paper.

score another point for the terrorists.... another silly knee jerk reaction to another imaginary boogieman of the homeland security detail


I am totally disgusted with this paranoid mentality of our current society.

I didn't call it in. I drive by Pantex around 7:20am every weekday morning.

I understood that was at Comanche Peak, South of DFW.
At least according to the S-T. Comanche Peak is serviced by Pantex.

They quote the Carson County sheriff. Carson County is in the northern panhandle.
