Jihawg Ammo Makes ABC News

New, pork-laced ammunition should serve as a warning shot to would-be Islamic terrorists with plans to attack Americans, the product's makers said today. Jihawg Ammo, the company started by Brendon and Julie Hill of Coer D'Alene, Idaho, sells boxes of gun cartridges that are made with pork products and advertised as being a deterrent to potential terrorists who may not eat pork because of their religious beliefs. "With Jihawg Ammo, you don't just kill an Islamist terrorist, you also send him to hell," the company said in a press release earlier this month. "That should give would-be martyrs something to think about before they launch an attack. If it ever becomes necessary to defend yourself and those around you our ammo works on two levels"/Colleen Curry, ABC News. More here. (Photo: Jihawg Ammo Facebook page)

Tom Hearn, via Facebook: This kind of despicable behavior in my opinion needs to be challenged. I'm tired of Idaho getting in the news once again for the wrong reason.

Question: Is Jihawg Ammo giving the Coeur d'Alene area -- aren't these guys from Dalton Gardens? -- a black eye?
