…and there’s always something to do.

Loss prevention/security for one of the major shippers. I investigate theft, fraud, workplace violence, people fudging their timecard, supervise facility security, keep TSA/FAA/DOT happy, and keep us off the news.

When this “pursuit of happiness” involves mentally ill men wanting to play sports against and share locker rooms with girls, it infringes upon others.

Being on the set with a bunch of untrained Hollywood elites and real guns has to be terrifying. I can only imagine their gun handling habits. I hate to say it, but many law-abiding gunowners' gun handling/safety skills are atrocious. I often observe strangers routinely violating Cooper's rules. I compete in a sport that disqualifies you if you allow your muzzle to point past an imaginary 180 line that is parallel to the forward berm, so maybe I am biased. I would hate to imagine Baldwin's gun handling skills.

I just wonder what all the "trust the science" idiots who claim to be pro-2A will say when St. Anthony says the science confirms that guns have to go.

Meeeh...needs an ambi safety.

Maybe they should be expected to. These same actors want to hang a gunowner out to dry when someone steals their gun and uses it in a crime. Responsibility goes both ways.

$25 per gun purchase is bad enough, but 5 cents a round is lunacy... https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/cookcounty-illinois-gunrights-secondamendmen/2021/10/23/id/1041716/

I wasn’t there and don’t know the whole story, but I occasionally deal with people who claim they are “constantly being harassed.” After doing a little digging, it often means “I don’t like being told what to do.”

I mean Shelby County has problems and all, but at least we are not having mullet competitions… https://www.wreg.com/news/mid-south/feathered-to-near-perfection-east-tn-boys-compete-in-national-mullet-competition/

It is becoming more apparent every day that one choice was a lot worse than the other one.

Looks like people who got the shot have no reason to be concerned...

I haven’t read it (probably not published anyway), but I know more vaccinated people who have died than I do unvaccinated. 3 vax 2 un

Yes.

How much are those rides and how far/long do they go?

Sounds similar to “Grandpa was an obese diabetic chain smoker who was rushed to the ER after having a heart attack, but his death got chalked up as covid…”

How many cases of myocarditis/pericarditis? I don't understand how anyone could dispute VAERS numbers. VAERS uses the same methods that were used to report covid cases and deaths.

I have been shooting primers lately that were stored in a non-temp controlled storage building for ten years and they are fine. I wouldn't use them for home defense or dangerous game hunting, but I bet both are ok. Try a few and see.

I’m sure it is possible. It’s also possible for some people to “suffer” or “get knocked down” or “get sick” (three different ways to describe the same reaction) for days or weeks. Some get myocarditis or blood clots after getting the shot. I asked the question because it seems that some people on here are making the assumption that feeling bad for more than 12-24 hours after getting the shot must be from something else. That’s often not the case, but some don’t want to acknowledge reality.

Why do some people get sick after getting the shot?

+1 on the Franchi. I have an Instinct 20 ga and a 686 12 ga. The Franchi is the "funner" of the two and costs half as much (or did).

I have some experience with these and two 48s and feel they are worthwhile. If you are the type to get a new gun and carry it without putting a couple hundred rounds through it first, I would avoid them. There are two generations of magazines, but I don’t think the gen 1 is available any more. They recommend a metal mag catch, whether you use theirs or someone else’s. I would use theirs. The early mag catches were aluminum and don’t seem to like gen 2 mags. My experience is that Gen 2 mags and the new steel mag catch used together are reliable and are all Shield now sells. Call them if you have any questions—they are very helpful.

Sometimes a shooter's name is withheld so they don't get all the immediate attention. The Collierville PD Chief just gave a press conference and didn't reveal much except that 15 people were shot and 10 were employees. He was asked several questions about the shooter and motive, but repeated that the investigation was still ongoing and he was not releasing any of that yet.

Maybe, maybe not. People I know who have gotten the shot have had reactions ranging from "I had a sore shoulder" to "the first shot was nothing, the second one made me sick" to "the first one made me sick, the second one was a barn burner." A local radio guy ended up in the hospital with myocarditis. It does seem like the shot marketers who claim you can expect only a sore arm are increasingly wrong (at least from my unscientific sample). I heard a professor of something or nother from Johns Hopkins say that it would make more sense to spread the shots out three or four months because it would potentially reduce side effects if an individual got their ass beat after the first one and to increase the longevity of protection. It was only his opinion, but it makes more sense than anything else I've heard lately.

A friend bought one of their side charging uppers. I was a little suspicious because it was surprisingly cheap, but the thing runs like a sewing machine. I don't think I want one, though.
