Awww heck, in for future details, I would consider this for up to $10,000.

Water rights?

Here's the deal! Here's 20,600 acres in Texas for $5.1 million (link below). That's about $250 an acre.

We get 1000 AR15.com members to chip in $5000 each and we each get 20 acres. Then we go there and start our own town and police dept and deputize everyone so they can "use" dept purchased NFA stuff. Police dept pricing on for example a full-auto M4 is about $800. You donate $800 to the Police dept and you get to use the M4 as a deputized authority in the county. How does this sound? Who's in?

Best... idea... evar! Imagine the news headlines!

In for 10-40K depending on property specs and location. Nothing like spending the nest egg on something awesome. I figure this is as close to a free nation as I'll ever get.

If someone says HOA I'll FO somewhere else. Your dust is blowing into my dust.

You think ATF would allow it?

Do you think Texas would allow incorporation of a new town and police force?

I am in! And yes I am serious.

We need some lawyers in the thread to advise us.

Could call it Area87 , weapons test ground . . . form a LLC and what not.

Oh yeah and a cartridge manufacturing facility.

Doesn't matter. The 10k buy-in is chump change compared to the money to drill to water depth out there. When the Texas GLO was putting huge sections of land up for silent auction in that area a couple years ago a friend in I looked into buying a chunk. I studied water resources and he models groundwater for a district, your not getting water out there for cheap unless you get lucky. On a chunk that size you are better off making sure there is a connection w/in a reasonable amount of distance to the edge of your land that you can pay to run pipe to, then run your own pump setup into the middle of your land or wherever you want to take it. Drilling cost are ridiculous.

"Hey Colt, this is the chief of police in AR15.Comville down here in Texas. I'd like to place an order for 1000 Colt M4 machine guns. Oh yeah...btw...thrown in a M203 on 500 of those, and while you're at it, we'll take 50,000 rounds of HE. Thanks. Have a nice day."

Too much blading in too small an area.

The backstop for the range would be the Aztlan border . . ..

I'm in for 50k...I need elbow room.

Didn't Piazza try to do something similar to this near Parump, Nevada?

Just asking? (This is not a TAG!

I think PDs can still get surplus M16s from the Feds for under $200.

All jokes aside... I am in and have plenty of cash.

Am I still bound by other laws of the US?
I have plenty of machineguns.... its my other freedoms (or lack of) that I am angry about.

Im in. Ill bring my own water. Can my wife work in Arfcoma Ammunition factory as well?

Quoted:
I vote to up the buy-in to at least $10,000 so we each get 40 acres and keep some of the rift raff out.

ETA I would super seriously consider getting in on this. And you would want me there too because I wouldn't even move there. Just buy in and visit to shoot shit and make improvements.

I guess I'm riff raff because I don't have a spare 10K laying around.

k that is

Posted: 1/24/2010 4:05:54 PM EDT

[#33]

I would be in for $5k.

Posted: 1/24/2010 4:06:58 PM EDT

[#34]

I'm in for $5K or $10K. I have verifiable LE certification, too.

Of course, I don't know if we would need a full-time PD if nearly everyone was deputized.

Are we going to pass an ordinance requiring at least one gun in every household, like Kennesaw, GA did?

Kind of like a 2A version of the Free State Project.

Im in for 15k...

As long as all rights transfer with purchase..each property owner has all water and mineral rights.

Can always drill community water wells too so you dont have to truck it in. individuals can pay for their own well too...which would be costly.

Does the state of Texas have POST requirements? If so, then all the residents of your little city would need to attend a police academy and meet the physical requirements of uncorrected eyesight, height to weight ratios, etc. I doubt that most here would qualify. My uncorrected eyesight would likely not meet the requirements and my disc problems in my back might also preclude me from being accepted into the academy.

A better stunt, might be for the state to declare all able bodied persons to be part of the state militia and allow them to purchase (for the state) and and all weapons that a state militia might require. The weapons purchased would remain state property, but the individual militia members would be required to keep them secure and maintain them in good working order.

I have a feeling hardly anyone in this thread has been in this part of Texas. I'll come by with a water truck after a month or two and make a fortune off all the suckers.

We are in for the 5,000.00 investment and 20 acres, gimme a T for Texas and watching to see if it actually happens.

Infrastructure? Roads, water, water treatment, power, businesses. You could lease land to the wind/solar power eco-corps. That would be some small income. Beg the fed for money. Raise some cattle. There's a little more. That would also put off most of the huge property tax bill you'd get hit with. Build a huge ass munitions factory? That would take a few years but then where are you going to get the money for that to begin with? Who is going to give up some of their 20 acres for easement? You can't just put up tents and motor homes and say you're a town. You iron all that out and I'm in too.

I assume it's all desert land? If each parcel is alike in quality and content, there might not be much o an issue. Infrastructure, utilities, etc would be costly. Every news organization would be on us like flies on shit.

This ain't gonna work too well you everyone just puts up a barbed wire fence around his 20 acre plot. 20 acres in the desert isn't much land. You're gonna need a few hundred acres set aside for shooting and off roading.

Hmm. I think I prefer the Chile idea over this one...the infrastructure challenges are the same, but at least there is water.

But, if somebody here managed to find the right piece of land (probably not Texas or Chile), and iron out all the rest of that, that would be a pretty amazing feat. I'm not sure we would get anywhere without the help of some heavy hitters.
