    Considering all 20,000 people standing next to you can go buy an AR15 in like 3 seconds for the price of a used iPhone, I’d say its a pretty damned good idea.

    As an Eagles fan, I’d appreciate if they don’t use our name in their sniper nest. If they could call it something more Cowboys appropriate like a trash nest, or little bitch nest, that would be great.

      Hell ya dude. That sports group scores points WAY better than the second organization you mentioned. Whenever they compete, I loudly encourage those ones to accrue points just as you surely do. Teams, am I right?

        Disagree, first organization is shady and just hires the best people with money, which is unfair. You should support organization C which might not accrue as many points but has the moral upper hand.

    When the culture you create turns you coward this is how you react instead of fixing the causes. Fucking ignorant cowards…

    Is it me or is Costco not safe? I wish they had a sniper. Walmart needs a MOAB with a guy and a hammer 🔨⚒️ on the ready. Much safer.

        This is why I don’t do Walmart. Sure it’s cheaper than target, but I’m willing to pay more for not having to deal with the gravy seals.

    That’s Lucas Oil Stadium where the Indianapolis Colts play. That specific picture is from Super Bowl XLVI which took place in 2012. There was another sniper and spotter in the opposite corner.

    But as others have said, most major events, including every regular NFL game have snipers in attendance.

    They also have cops dressed up at fans to see if they can get through security checkpoints. They’ll have the wrong ticket, play dumb, or try to sweet talk guards to get to places they shouldn’t. An IRL pen test.

    This is how you can tell the national character is terminally diseased. If you really think you need this then you should realized you don’t need the sports activity nor the stadium. Just go live in a buried sewer concrete pipe because this is where you belong.

      Plus, a literal underground rave is going to be a much better time than a sporting event, as well as having better people.

    Everyone loves the official snipers, but when I tell them I’m a freelance sniper, they get all upset.

    Not abnormal? Just because a thing exists somewhere it doesn’t immediately make it normal.

    “Hey everyone, I saw this video online and apparently it’s normal to shit in your own mouth now”.

    I wonder what protocol is like for those guys. Sit in the box as soon as the audience starts filing in? Watch for unruly audience members with binoculars at first? When do you switch to the scope? When do you pull the trigger? Are the bullets a special type?

        Unlikely that thered be a round in the chamber, but it doesn’t take long to make that happen. But that being said, a bolt action is quicker than you think when operated by an expert.

      Police don’t really have roe so whatever they want really.

      Static high ready isn’t illegal for whatever dumb reason though in the military you can’t point your him at anyone until your shot at our meet the roe for the area.
