Has to do with the bankruptcy of Remington. Looks like an outfit named the Roundhill Group bought Storm Lake. Roundhill specializes in manufacturing paintball guns.

Armslist has recently had to pay incredibly huge legal bills to defend incredibly bogus lawsuits by the Anti's. That's probably got a lot to do with it.

Curious if you meant "wouldn't care to pay..." or maybe "wouldn't care about paying" ....?

My deepest condolences, Doug. A friend of mine has a sign in his man-cave that says "Be the person your dog thinks you are!" I hope you'll get another chance to prove that yet again.

Personal Self Defense Encounters?
QuackerSmacker replied to Dennis1209's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
It's amazing how fact situations are almost always vastly different. Years ago, in ILLannoy, I got caught up in a stock certificate counterfeiting sting operation with the FBI, and some real bad guys that were running that operation out of about a dozen cities. When the bad guys found out I was involved, they started hanging out around my house, among other things. Time after time, I would call the local cops and they would show up and the bad guys would leave. It was a regular thing. Then one time they showed up , and the cops were not available, for a long time. The bad guys called my phone (which new number I had gotten only that day, but somehow they had it) and they said "Whatcha gonna do now?" And I yelled, "Watch your 6 a**holes" and charged around the house and up behind that car with my 12 gauge, screaming like a maniac. They got the hell outta there at warp speed. No, that wasn't the last of them, but I did get their license # , and the FBI paid them a visit and told them to NEVER show up around our house again, and they didn't. There were other crazy repercussions, phone threats against my kids, even my dog! ---but they never showed up at my house again. The local cops and the FBI agents were spectacular in the way they handled this months-long investigation. Eventually It was a major multi-city bust. When I was asked for my sentencing recommendation, I said, "Death penalty, maybe?" Yeah, maybe it was nuts to charge out there that night, but I was ready to blast them. It's amazing what adrenalin can do. Would I advise anyone to do that? NO! But I was young and stupid. Now I'm just old and stupid! So that's my self-defense encounter story. -
It's actually been a hot seller's market in Eastern TN for awhile. It started before the most recent stuff. We've had a shortage of listings for months, and now that is going to be really exacerbated by the city slickers from other parts that suddenly really want out of where they are and are almost desperate to buy in a wonderful part of the world like ---- Eastern Tennessee! I've been surprised that the demand hasn't yet really moved prices up all that much, but classic economics says that's absolutely next. So anyone thinking about moving here needs to have a realistic plan, be able to make smart decisions quickly, and have a very good realtor.

This just-updated article from the FDA is a comprehensive discussion about testing for the virus, both to see if you have it, or if you've had it before. https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/coronavirus-testing-basics

Well, you're in control of the dash cam, right? So keep what you need and delete what doesn't work for you. Do it before anyone else has access to it and you're good. It's your property. If you mess with it after anyone (LEO or anyone else) has access to it, then you're gonna be in a conflict about your own stuff. That won't play out well. My comments assume you're innocent. If other evidence overwhelmingly indicates that you're not innocent, then you might face a charge of destroying evidence, but if it gets that far you're already toast.

Correct. If you swing out the cylinder and look behind where the rod was, just in front of the cylinder and below the barrel, you should see 10-8.

Welcome. You're gonna love it here, and it sounds like you escaped in time, and that you have your head screwed on straight.

Need help with fish identification
QuackerSmacker replied to reed1285's topic in Hunting and Fishing
Looks like a lure to me...... -
I've been thinking about this for years. http://hamradioprep.com is offering a "Corona Special." The tech and general courses are normally $25 each. They are now $10 each. Better yet, you can do the "bundle" and get both for $15. Looks like some very good material. I did the bundle. Seem to have some time on my hands these days...... Thanks OP and all you guys for the inspiration!

I did this investment gig professionally for 40+ years. The Dow is not going to 12k. If you're waiting for that (AND you wouldn't pull the trigger there anyway!) then get real excited if you see 15 or 16 or 17, with excitement levels in inverse order. Meaning if you see 15, back up the truck and load up. Load up in stages if the decline continues. Everyone wants to buy when the market is at a peak. That's why it gets to a peak. Duh! Buy when blood is running in the gutter. Buy when you can't stand to do it. Buy SLV and OIL. Those are ETFs on silver metal and crude oil. SLV closed today at 11.21 and OIL closed at 4.67. Desperate men do desperate things. Bold men do desperate things, and bold things, but they do smarter things on both. ETA: You should be buying some US stocks NOW, such as an S&P 500 ETF.
