Beats power outages, ruptured pipes, and closed schools.

Strange numbers when folks would have us believe that vaccinations are not happening nearly quickly enough and the sky is falling. Wonder if the drop could be due to herd immunity beginning.

I don't recall anybody here telling them to "rest in piss" or that they were glad they lived long enough to get cancer. There's really no comparison between the two sides.

Oh I don’t doubt a competent rifleman could zero and practice with a good Carcano (if there is one) and make the shots. But could Oswald do so with his Carcano? I have doubts. Oswald was supposedly a qualified Expert in his time in the USMC, but some who served with him roll their eyes at this idea. Oswald missed a 30-odd yard shot during the assassination attempt of an Army general a few months before Kennedy. Also, Oswald’s Carcano raises a few questions. It was found to have a loose scope mount that was mysteriously repaired prior to testing. The rifle supposedly hit high at 15 or 20 yards, which makes no sense for a scoped rifle. If anything, it should hit low that close. After this shoddy testing process, the rifle was determined to be capable of making the shots in question. Then there’s the “magic bullet” question. Call me a conspiracy theorist or tinfoil hat model or whatever, but if you believe Oswald was the lone shooter, I’ll sell you a Carcano guaranteed to make you the 2021 NRA High Power champion. *You being anyone, not you, Chuck.

but are you healthy?

...and supposedly a really loose scope mount.

Damn, we need more AGs like that Paxton fellow. Although I believe gun control is currently number 6 or 7 on the Biden administration wish list, I have no doubt it will come up. Maybe with Biden in office, maybe not. He didn't even mention taxing ammunition or executive orders. However, the VP is a thorough bred gun grabber and I believe will be the president in the not-so-distant future. If Kamala is in the White House, I expect priorities to be adjusted. All this is out the window if there is a major mass shooting.

It would take a serious storm for Fedex or UPS to shut down, even for a day.

Right, I wonder what all the Covid-fear hobbyists will say when we are told to "trust the science" and the science says 2A needs to go...

I don't consider myself a TGO prognosticator, but I believed that a Biden administration would put other things first--their obsession with destroying America's chances at energy self-reliance, reparations, LGBTQ, punish the police, woke agenda disguised as covid relief, etc. UNLESS a mass shooting occurs. The statement above calls on Congress to enact the usual common sense drivel, so hopefully it's just lip service to the gun grabber crowd.

I can resolve your lack-of-a-trigger-pin problem.

So should we mandate two masks? How about three?

Yep, I know of two CDL holders who lost their jobs due to failed drug tests. They both swore CBD was the only thing they ever touched and I believe them.

I have been going in and out of buildings without two masks (gasp!) for a year now and have somehow survived.

There sometimes seems to be an abundance of complacency on this site.

Heck no Got a Glock 41.

Well it looks like the next round of stupidity will be requiring two masks. It's not mandated yet, but give them a couple weeks... https://wreg.com/news/doctors-suggest-double-masking-once-covid-19-variants-arrive/

I've hiked rim-to-rim twice. The first time was down the North Kaibab in mid-June. It was 37F at the top when we started and around 120F when we got to Phantom Ranch (the next day). I didn't know whether to wear long johns or a tank top.

Yep I recently picked up a .45 also. It's not as pretty as yours, but I bet you know what flavor it is.

Hiking down to the river and back up in one day is not for the faint if heart, especially if there’s any heat. When I was there, there were signs everywhere warning against trying it. I would do it if I were alone or with a fit hiking partner. The Virgin River in Zion was neat, but Angels Landing blew it away IMO. Coolest 2.5 hour day hike in America. And I agree—the tunnel exit from the east is something to see.

I have been happy with this sight pusher. It’s easier to use on flat-sided slides, but I have used it with several different types of guns https://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/sight-scope-installation-tools/sight-movers/p500-universal-sight-tool-prod17840.aspx
