Absolutely. Vaccines are one of the greatest inventions in the history of mankind and there's no way I am going refuse medicine that saves literally millions upon millions of lives every year. Besides that, there are kids with cancer or that have received heart transplants and are taking immunosuppressants that are counting on all of us for herd immunity.  

Yes.  Plus I am bringing in a nurse to the office to give them to all my employees if they want one.  

I already did.  Whatever microchip tracking device the Government is putting into us, is already deep inside my arm by this point.

  This is impossible with modern flu shots.  If your wife gets sick after getting the shot, she likely contracted the flu virus before or shortly after getting the shot.  It takes a week or two to be effectively protected.   My son caught it last year and this year.  Last year he caught it before shots were available, and this year just before he was supposed to get it.  Had he gotten the shot last week, he still would have gotten sick, and a lay person would attribute that to the flu shot.  That isn't how it works.   ETA: The vaccine isn't 100%.  Not even close.  So many people get the shot and get the flu anyway.  This tends to be the argument for not getting a shot, which actually makes the flu spread even worse.  If people would simply do a little research and accept that science holds more water than wives tales, we might save a few thousand lives this year.

I say let her visit. There can NEVER be enough reinforcement of the consequences of "bad decisions". That goes not only for all people but especially those at that age.

Lucifer? Nah - i'm for cthulu

Wife and I will both have one.  Seen too many deaths from influenza sequelae in the 55+ population (of which we are both members).    TMFs observation about the "herd immunity" effect are quite valid.

My wife and daughter already had their shots.  My son was supposed to get his at school this week when they were doing them there.  He caught the flu sometime last week and was down for 4 days.  Neither my wife or daughter caught it from him.  I know the perception is that the flu shot is not that effective when you just look at the percentages, but the more people who get the shot, the less it spreads.  It's math.

I guess I will continue to be in the wrong crowd as often as possible............ :up:

5/32" thick 1095 carbon steel with filework on the spine, Padauk scales and acid etched. It has a copper pin and lanyard hole. It's about 10 1/4" in OAL with a 5 1/2" blade. It's headed to Texas after Mark@Sea finished the sheath.

If they would come up with a shot for East TN sinus issues, then I'd be first in line!

  That's what all of those FEMA caskets are for.

A child should have access to both parents unless one or both are abusing them. Life is about ups and downs, the sooner she learns that the better. Besides, it's not like she is an axe murderer, she screwed up and is receiving the consequences; a good lesson me thinks.

In general, people at Walmart are much more frightening than people at gun stores.

What if an agoraphobic walks into a gun store? Would he still be the wrong crowd?

Bad crowd? From what I have seen this crowd is made up of people who are responsible, honest, friendly, concerned with the evil in our world and government, willing to help those in need, but who happen to enjoy guns and like our founding fathers realize the need for guns in a free society. Bad crowd , if y'all don't mind I think I'll just continue to hang with y'all.

  Allow me to interpret their explanation into a REAL explanation.  

Just to add, over 30,000 of your fellow Americans will die this year from the flu.  Many of them will be people with compromised immune systems who depend on herd immunity to protect them from contracting the virus.  Since a good chunk of us here will get cancer at some point in our lives and will undergo chemo treatment, you might want to at least do some research on these vaccines to better understand them.  I'm sure if your kid was getting chemo, your opinion on getting a simple vaccination would drastically change.   http://www.healthline.com/health/flu-shot-side-effects#FluShots1   http://www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/10-flu-myths

"Does he throw holy water on you and see if you melt?" Now that's funny right there but I don't think he is looking for vampires, just Christians but with that in mind he might want to have a pet pig in the store while sale is going on or offer free pack of bacon with every purchase..................jmho

I've really heard the term "common sense gun laws" beaten to death in the past few days.  I really believe that this phrase was coined to 1) insult anyone that does not agree with the proposed measures and 2) subtly convince the uneducated, uninformed and the fence sitters that going against the proposed measure would defy logic.    I know that I am preaching to the choir here but only a fool would simply go along with any government proposal without examining the contents for themselves and drawing their own conclusions. 

I love their motto: "Eat in Peace."    Because if they don't post, we'll come in like Yosemite Sam and blast the place up, just as has happened, what, zero times now?

http://www.computerworld.com/article/2990203/security/aclu-orwellian-citizen-score-chinas-credit-score-system-is-a-warning-for-americans.html   From the article:   "In China, every citizen is being assigned a credit score that drops if a person buys and plays video games, or posts political comments online “without prior permission," or even if social media "friends" do so. The ACLU said the credit rating system, an Orwellian nightmare, should serve as a warning to Americans."

Oh I could solve the national debt tomorrow, but I'd manage to piss off conservatives AND liberals alike ;)

    I like that idea, alternately a soldering iron would probably heat things up enough to get moving I would think, would be a lot more precise and if I'm picking up what D is putting down, a vise, some needle nose to work the pin from the accessible area, and you might not even need 3 hands to do it. :up:

Warm the stock up on the blind side with a heat gun not so much that you melt it just soften it then with a punch and hammer drive the pin through the plastic may have to alternate between heating and driveing unless you have extra set of hands it will work just take your time and go slowly

The best and most important info you have been given on this topic

Yeah it does get a bit crazy in chat.

  Facts don't matter. Some people will always say the shot makes them sick. I think they're being infected by black panthers. :)   - OS

Depends on temperature. Too thick and it can cause the firearm to malfunction. The temperature must be quite cold.  Learned this in the military, first hand experience.

doctors are a very liberal bunch.  I can't figure out why, maybe they spend so long in collegiate institutions they get indoctrinated? My wife comes home every day saying "so and so said Bernie Sanders this, or Megan Berry that".  And they assume my wife is just a socialist in waiting like them.  She just ignores them as she's not the type to argue politics or similar, especially at work.  They all pretty much don't breach the topic with me :D  

Got it this morning while at the allergist, better safe than sorry, I think....

I've seen those made with kydex and my SOG Voodoo Hawk has a unimpressive nylon verson. I think it would be fairly easy to do, so I'll give one of those a shot today. Thanks for the input! EDIT: Here is what I came up with. Needs a couple of tweaks, but I think I'm on the right track:

  I've always been a fan of medical science, but I've never been a vaccine crusader until recently.  My cousin, who is in her 20s, was diagnosed with an extremely aggressive and rare type of breast cancer earlier this year, and was stage 3 at time of diagnosis.  This changed my whole outlook on the subject of vaccines, as going through chemo destroyed her immune system.  We've been very careful, and luckily she didn't get sick.  It more than I can say for some of the people she met during her treatment.   For all the unfounded mistrust, not rooted in science, that people have for vaccines, I would like to believe they'd be willing to research and gain some knowledge after seeing a 7 year old child with cancer die from something that could have been vaccinated against in a healthy person.  Or they would just default to whatever random government conspiracy they cling to in order to justify their decision.

My new job is offering flu vaccines free. Mine is scheduled for Tuesday. Better to have one than not, IMO.

I could go to Memphis and feel secure in this. :rofl:

My 99 Savages have safeties, but no visible hammer.   The half cock position on the hammer hsda been safety enough for over 100 years on a Winchester or Marlin lever rifle.   The fellow told you correctly on how to cock the hammer without making noise.   The best safety for a gun is the one between your ears.

Yeah. The price went up when Remington bought Marlin and dropped Marlin quality. Putting a safety on a lever rifle didn't help either.   If you think a 357 is high, price one in 41 magnum!!! :shake:

Supply and demand.  Finding a new one (which hasn't been released in over a year) is practically impossible.  They are unicorns.  I couldn't find one at a decent price.  I opted for the Henry instead.   A gently used 357 Marlin lever gun will sell for more than a brand new Marlin 1985GS in 45-70.

I just looked up Crossville and Ruby Tuesday in town is posted. I have not been in there in a while, but I never noticed any signs before. I may have to swing by tomorrow and check the door and see if they posted since January when I was in last.
