Well. That title covers a lot of territory doesn't it? Had 2 scheduled checkups and blood draws today. My GP and my Oncologist. I talked with both about the Covid Vaccines and my feelings and health issues relating to whether or not to take it. Interesting conversations from both. Especially the gentleman who actually drew the blood. We covered about everything from the source, the intent, and the possible outcomes of this pandemic. Even got into some of the religion side...Revelation and Mark of the Beast territory. But the core of all this is that my Oncologist's comments were this..."Do it. Do it Now!" You are at major risk. Walking time bomb. Just waiting to be infected. Really said that. Well, it seemed that TnOncology was vaccinating all their patients. And since I was in one office, a call was made and I was quite literally immediately shoved out the door and sent to the one where there were some shots still available. So...in spite of my comments here previously; I received the 1st dose of the Moderna Vaccine today. I do feel rather much a hypocrite right now. But it's done. We shall see what happens.

I always heard a wise man changes his mind often.

Got to meet up with BJB, Greg and Karhman today. So good to see yall, had a good talk about things, picked my Flag from BJB. Thanks much for the good time.

FWIW...a status update this morning. On the advice of my wife and my doc, I took my regular meds last night and 2 Tylenol just as I hit the bed. I slept like a baby. 7 uninterrupted hours! Unbelievable for me. I hardly every do that. If I do 4, I consider myself wonderfully blessed. Got up with a slight headache, but that's all. No pains, no aches, no fevers. Having my Cheerios and maybe a bagel. So now I'm prepared for our morning meet!

Getting mine on Monday.

Thank you, papa61. Will celebrate 11 year anniversary of Remission in April of this year.

A couple of months ago I sent my G48 slide off to be milled for a Holosun 507k and once I got it zeroed my groups were much better than with open sights. I was amazed at how much easier and faster it was for me to be able to get good hits with the dot. It's my EDC, although after about a day and a half of appendix carry I swapped the extended barrel out for the factory one

Being open to changing one’s mind sure seems wiser than being stubborn even once you decide it is against your own best interest.

Exactly this. Thanks for sharing your experience @hipower.There is nothing wrong with changing your mind.

Agree that we do in fact live in "interesting times". Funny that this curse is attributed to the Chinese... I too plan reloading therapy for this afternoon. There's lonely brass and components calling to me as I type this.

Your doctor knows a lot more than the internet. I’m glad you’re squared away.

It’s always good getting to see old TGO friends and meeting new ones.

Wife and I are on list for next clinic.

I’ll go ahead and be the jerk for saying it. The officer’s physical fitness was absolutely a contributing factor in him giving up the fight. I don’t mean that as a personal dig against the officer. I really do hope that he recovers quickly and without any lasting side effects. I don’t even have any criticisms of what led to the encounter. that said, it cannot be denied that his lack of physical conditioning is a clear contributing factor in how things played out. This is some thing that has been weighing on me greatly recently. If I am not physically capable of remaining in the fight due to poor conditioning and lack of stamina, it doesn’t matter how much Gucci gear I have. It doesn’t matter how much training I have. All I’m doing is providing somebody else with some great stuff to pick up off my corpse.

The cop just took a round in the side. He was probably in pain, shock, and in the process of dying.

No adapters needed. 507k is a direct fit according to the cats on the sig forum.

Your doctor knows your situation and, frankly, the worst reactions seem to occur in healthy people with no co-morbidities. That said, if you or anyone else reading this start having severe symptoms in the first 48 hours after the shot, get to ER stat.

Ok I’ll admit when I’m wrong, in that situation he was perfectly within the law to keep firing, I suspect that he couldn’t for some reason. It did sound from the narrative that the damage was already done and she died. the only thing he did wrong was not getting backup when she started squirrely

True, honestly I didn’t watch the video. I’m just tired of everyone second guessing our cops without knowing what the law actually states.

Marvelous Marvin Hagler, boxing legend and former undisputed champ, dead at 66 https://www.foxnews.com/sports/marvelous-marvin-hagler-boxing-legend-dead

Wife and I got are second shot on the first no side effects other than a slightly sore arm for less than a day. Since we are in the old as dirt category and most of our friends are in the same category most are now fully vaccinated or partially. We have tried to have picnics in the church parking lot once a week since May. We missed a few weeks this Winter but we are all ready to move on with our normal life.

Very cool! I was driving near my house the day before yesterday and a flock of hens flew overhead. It's amazing that such big-bodied critters can actually fly! They're impressive when going overhead.

Married to a retired nurse. "nuff said!

I'd be more concerned about 2 legged predators than those. And I'd definitely want a double action, not a single action.

.357 all the way but I would be more concerned about hogs than bears.

good for them!!

Congrats to the Tigerettes!!!!! Nice to see a local school win the state!

Yeah, but if you can't get on an airplane, go into such and such building, etc., it's about as effective as enforcement. I am old enough to call this bluff, but my wife is not quite understanding as I'd like.

Mandate is one thing, policing it is quite another!! They will have to try and force people to comply and that is when the #### hits the fan. About like gun control, there are barely enough LEO to keep the thugs from not having a nationwide riot. So policing chinese flu immunizations is going to require a bunch more LEO on the payroll.

You said what I was thinking. He didn't have that fight to live mindset that you see in some of these videos. At this point, he was almost physically unable to sit up, and I don't think it was because he was shot. I've mentioned this once before too. Physical fitness matters.

I have a Holosun 507k on my P365XL. I also ran have Shied SMSc that I had on it before the Holosun became available. I liked both sights. The Holosun has a dot and circle reticle option.

I think using the Holosun 507K will require the P365's optics pocket to be modified slightly. The rear recoil lugs have to be removed and the front lugs have to be reduced in height slightly. That said, I'd still go with the 508K over the RMRcc if it were me.

This is the BEST place to get gun advice!

I looked at a 365xl recently, I think the XL slide will only accept the Sig romeoZero and Shield RMS-c directly. Having only read reviews and seen videos I'd go with the Shield dot, it's made of metal and seems more robust than the Sig. However it's also something like twice as expensive if that's a factor. If you go the adapter plate route I'm quite happy with my Holosun 507k.

The Dot Life is the Best Life.

Agreed this should never have been politicized. Doing so gas destroyed confidence and divided us as a nation. Demanding and browbeating people into taking a vaccine is just so wrong. It is a personal decision to be considered with ones own doctor, or not. I no longer fly so that does not concern me but requiring proof of anything from U S Citizens to exercise freedom is unlawful and unethical. kind of like testing, fees and such to vote or own and carry firearms. Hope you do well with this vaccine and with your leukemia.

I’m glad it’s there for those of you who want it. I only hope they don’t try and mandate it. That’s where my concern lies.

If nothing else, it illustrates what Red333 said above. Things can go sideways in New York minute! I imagine this video, or more likely the original unedited version of it will be become a training video at the police academy. Prayers for the officer..

Good for you! I have an appt at the VA to get my second dose of moderna next week. I hear the Pfizer is the better one if anyone has the option.

I applaud you Larry! Good on you for listening to your physicians and that voice in your heart my friend. I had the Pfizer series Dec/Jan (Healthcare worker) and my bride of 33+ years gets her 1st Pfizer this morning. The missus has multiple health issues, so I am very happy she's scheduled. Our "daughter" had the Moderna series with no negative side effects. (Healthcare worker too).

Very impressive. That’s got to make you feel good.

You make a good point, but I was concerned for a moment that she was attempting to run over the officer with her vehicle. I could easily see him discharging his service weapon again at that point. He was either in shock or simply couldn’t regain his balance to fire again.

"May you live in interesting times"

Welcome to TGO, at this time Tennessee is still red, may be purple and then blue. Depends on if people wise up or not. I came from Mississippi and have always loved Tennessee as a vacation destination. I don't like cities, I currently reside in the smallest populated county in Tennessee at about 5,079 people. I can't imagine living in a country like you described. A lot of Americans have the same viewpoint as the guys/gals on TGO. I won't speak for them, but I will say this. " I WILL NOT COMPLY", with any gun laws that are unconstitutional, they can take a hike. I hope you find a place that will meet your needs and you can find peace and quiet. Mac

Here's some pics of it with the HOLOSUN 507C X2 that I just got done mounting.

Worst case, budget in adding a french drain around the house as well as fixing the gutter situation. Water destroys more houses than just about anything.

What will keep TN a great state is the refugees not voting in the same high cost social programs and policies that they are fleeing from. Don't move here and then vote for that same stupid sh*t here. Thanks for sharing the gun policies of Canada, yes, you would like it here. Note: Nashville and Memphis have the same problems as most metro areas, if I worked there, I'd commute up to an hour in.

Picked up my new Staccato P DPO from my FFL. Going to do a few mods. on it, either install the old style Grip Module from my Staccato P 4.14 or I might order another EXTREME SHOOTERS Grip Module w/ Grip Reduction like I put on my 4.14 model, and an aluminium Flat Trigger from EVERGLADES and install my HOLOSUN Red Dot this weekend. Here's the pics. of the DPO

They are the real deal and as much of technological leap as optics were on rifles. My preferences are as follows. Milled slide > plate system. Direct attachment allows for a lower profile and a more solid mounting. Either purchase a new, precut slide, or whole new gun designed for the optic you want. If you decide you don’t like it, you can put the original slide back on and sell the aftermarket slide for a lower loss than a gun with a chunk missing from its OEM slide. For the optic, Trijicon RMR or Holosun. Everything else just comes up short. I have no opinion on the taller iron sights as my optics sit low enough in the slide to utilize the OEM standard sights. Only my opinion, and worth what you paid for it.
