Laughing at that pistol sliding down his leg! Don’t ever let that pistol go!

That's a reaction to the vaccine. Not deaths. Big difference in the two, at least to me. I know many of you don't care, though. It's all about your "freedom".
-
There is always going to be a certain amount of worry about a reaction from any vaccine or medicine. If you've had issues in the past with a reaction of a vaccine or to medicines, you should probably wait to have take the vaccine. 0,6% is a pretty small amount. Basically 6 people out of every 1000.

I was shocked when I read of his passing last night! We only conversed here. He was my go to source on Ruger pistol and it was incite that convinced to buy the LC9S Pro, for my carry gun! Miss him already!

Well damn! Hate to hear that. Almost always enjoyed his insight on new pistols!

This article from WBIR is far better at explaining the situation, than my rating treatise above. I advice you to read it. My numbers above, represent the entire 16 county East Tennessee area, not just Knox County. I learned something too! https://www.wbir.com/mobile/article/news/health/coronavirus/all-knox-co-covid-19-benchmarks-are-now-in-the-red-as-regional-hospital-icus-near-capacity/51-cea1a3be-3b70-416c-a98e-540e1d67707b

Today, new cases were not significantly down. There were 377 new cases and 7 more deaths, raising the total to 179 dead. Possibly even more alarming is the number of ICU beds available. Total capacity is 284 ICU beds and as of this morning, there are only 8 available. Total Adult beds/Non ICU that could be used for COVID patients is 1,861. Currently 1,734 beds are occupied (by all types of patients), leaving 127 for additional paitents (COVID related or otherwise). There are 3,049 beds in the system, but 1,315 beds cannot be occupied by COVID patients. If you remember at the beginning of this mess, the Federal Government came in and evaluated places were "field hospitals" could be set up, in the event of a surge. Should that event occur, all hospital beds could be boosted to 4,389. ICU Beds could be increased to 543 and ventalitors could be increased from 245 to 374. Currently only 96 ventilators are being used. The Knox County Board of Health uses 5 benchmarks to make decisions on how to react to COVID. Right now, all five Benchmarks are in the RED. This is the first time I've seen that. Could this be the beginning of the healthcare system being overwhelmed in Knox County? Source: https://covid.knoxcountytn.gov/case-count.html

I put my black tux on in the morning and go ask them! Thanks! Been looking at holsters all night long, trying to figure out which two, I’m going to buy, for it.

I can’t get the file to load. It’s too big.

I believe the 's about to get real. 437 new cases in Knox County this morning. A new one day record. And we won't see the peak from the Thanksgiving holiday for a couple of more weeks. Since Nov. 23 there have been 26 deaths attributed to COVID, according to the Knox County Health Department.That bought the monthly total to 71 and the total since this started to 172. Keep in mind that we only had 5 deaths through July 2nd. Currently there are 129 people in the hospital. Tomorrow they'll announce the available ICU beds. Last week that was 34. I suspect that it's fewer right now.

That's a beautiful collection!!! That top row looks to be a PPK and a PPK/s. The second row is S&W PPK and a PP and the third row is a ??? and a THP. Correct? What the first pistol on the bottom row? The PPK in .32ACP, is rare as hens Teeth! There's two on GB right now and both are north of $2K! I reckon the closest I will ever get to a .32ACP is to pick up a PP or a Czech copy, the VZ70. I actually have a soft spot in my heart of the little .32ACP. Kicking myself in the butt, for not picking up one of those surplus Berretta 81s back in the Spring and Summer.

Back in September, y’all may remember that I went into my LGS to pick up a couple boxes of high velocity .22LR. After I picked up a couple of boxes, I decided to peruse the gun cases, not because I needed or wanted anything, but just to see what they had, just out of curiosity, of course. In case three, a certain item caught my eye. It was an stainless steel Interarms Walther .380acp PPK/s, and it looked like new. I asked to see it. The LGS owner said it was part of a 40 gun collection that they had just bought. And they had the case, with the manual, extra mag, cleaning rod and test target. I looked at the price, $500. I thought “Damn, I didn’t come in here for this.” Then the LGS guy said the magic words. We just started 12 month lay-a-way program. I left the store, after putting down $50 to putting the Walther in lay-a-way. Fast forward to today. I walked into the LGS and paid off the lay-a-way and filled out the paperwork. While they were doing the background check, I asked if they had a third magazine. So they checked and one guy said they just had one for a PPK. Will that wasn’t going to work. Then the other guy behind the counter said “Are you sure it’s a PPK/s and not a PPK?” So we all three looked and it sure enough it was a PPK! So I walked out of the GunStore with an immaculate LNIB stainless steel Interarms Walther PPK with a third mag and a used FOBUS holster for it, that they gave me! I’m overjoyed and can’t wait to get it to the range! Just call me Bond, James Bond!

I actually carry a S&W 442 part of the time. I do love mine! But I would still keep the one that shoots the best!

Beautiful rifles!!! Heirlooms!

Only because it's a revolver caliber. Those of us that have been around a long time, know what a great self-defense round it truly is! If I had to pick one caliber to carry, all the time, .357 would be it. Of course that being said, I have two handguns in .357 and never carry either one of them! I'm looking to change that in the future though. If I had the money, I'd trade my 442 in on a 340 or 360 in a heart beat!!!

Robert Redfield is the head of the CDC. Faucci is the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectionous Diseases. He is in that role because he is the best suited for it. His job is not a political position. Trump brought a lot of this on, because of his damned refusal to face facts. Fauci went a long with him, like a good soldier at first. Then realized that Trump was an idiot about this. Actually, he probably already knew that, but tried to play along anyway, until he got in over his head. He's a Scientist, not a politicain or a business man. God, what a piss pour choice we had for President in 2016!

Last Tuesday saw a new 1 Day High for COVID deaths in Knox County, 7 reported deaths. Since Tuesday, Knox County has had 13 more people die from COVID, as reported by the Knox County Health Department. COVID deaths for Novemeber have far surpassed Septemember's record of 26 deaths and now are at 45, with 7 more days to go in the month. Through July 2nd, we only had 5 people die in Knox County from COVID. Since then, we have had another 141 deaths. All numbers are from the Knox County Health Department.

I'm guessing that it will be a yearly affair, just like the flu shot. BTW, flu has yet to mutate itself out of existance. I don't think COVID will either, at least anytime soon.

I take D3 everyday, along with a multi-vitamin for men over 50, which has more in it and a Sublingual B12.
