Those munitions being fired are the sounds of freedom.

Normally, tracer ammunition is not used after May, according to Camp SLO and Camp Roberts range regulations. However, the dry conditions should have been taken into account, and trace ammunition should have pulled from being issued prior to the end of May deadline.


No biggie. A few quick fires will keep future range time safer, since no brush will be available to burn when it gets hot and windy out there.
