  1. I caught an interview on NPR with a doctor who worked with Dr. Rick Sacra, the US doctor who was transported to Emory. He said they're all pretty sure that he and the sick nurses contracted it outside the ebola ward. Probably while treating other patients suspected of "normal" diseases over there like typhoid, dengue, malaria, etc. who actually had undiagnosed ebola. In other words, they were probably infected the same way most others were infected: through contact with early-stage or misdiagnosed carriers.   There are unintentional side-effects to the way they're trying to isolate ebola over there. Patients suspected of ebola are placed in an isolation ward with other suspected patients. Most of them probably have malaria, etc, but one or more will likely have ebola. That means that in the confines of the isolation ward, they all end up with ebola. In short, if you go to the hospital with a non-ebola fever, you will probably be exposed to ebola in the isolation ward. The people have figured this out, so they quit going to the hospital. That means ebola, malaria, typhoid, etc. are all on the rise due to spreading exposure and lack of treatment across the spectrum. Add in the crazy people who are saying the government is conspiring to gve ebola to anyone that goes to the hosptial and you quickly spiral out of control.   We'll have some ebola cases here in the US, but our advanced medical system, public sanitation, and superior ability to do real isolation (plus the fact that witch doctors aren't covered under most plans) will keep this one from being widespread here. That will be of little consolation to the handful of people in the U.S. who will end up in the hospital bleeding from their eyes.
  2.   As long as you don't start emphasizing it and pronuncing it with a hard E like graduates from THE Ohio state University (aka the Harvard of Central Ohio). I work with one and it gets old fast. 
  3.   Can I build a machine gun as long as I promise to only shoot it in single-fire mode?
  4.     and.......here's your sign.

    PSA

    BCM = Bravo Company = http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/   Good stuff.
  6. I know it's getting a little dated, and as others have said the PO parking lot ruling would only apply directly to US court district 10. I think it's important to note that the ruling specifically cites Avon, CO's post office as one which does not deliver mail. The plaintiff had no choice but to disarm if he wanted to receive or send mail. That's a very specific situation that's not common at most PO locations around here. I doubt that even in District 10 states that the ruling would be broadly applied to all PO parking lots. It's a fairly narrow ruling, AIUI.
  7. Sneak on board one of those unmarked white w/red stripe passenger jets and check out Area 51. Report back here if you find aliens or Jeff Goldblum.
  8.   Easy enough...Get a 1965 Colt Python.
  9.   This! OMG This!
  10. When the 1986 FOPA law was passed, the Dems held solid control of the House (253-182). Republicans held a 7 seat lead in the Senate (53-47) and they had the WH. The bill itself was introduced by a Republican Senator, James McClure of Idaho.   The 1934 and 1968 were 100% Democrat.   Don't ever think that either party has your best interests in mind.
  11. I have also ordered from Botach. Shipping wasn't Amazon Prime fast, but I wasn't in a hurry either. I seem to recall a shipping notice 2 or 3 days after the order was placed.
  12. Correct on the CLEO. He/She has no approval role in a C&R. It's just an FYI to him/her that a nut job who buys Mosins by the crate is in the area.  :)   I don't know why they ask about having been an employee. Just add the info on an extra sheet and submit it.
  13. The way some folks around here talk, the HiPoint is highly reliable. Uglier than the last girl to go home at a college bar, but goes bang when you need it to. It doesn't get much more "budget" than a HiPoint.   For a night-stand gun, you could probably do worse.
  14. In addition to Brownell's discount, 1 C&R purchase every 3 years pays for itself by skipping TICS and Transfer Fees.
  15. FYI. I'll not be shopping with any vendor who uses Square and will tell them why.   http://dailysignal.com/2014/09/25/gun-shop-owners-longer-hip-square/  
  16. This.   Costco puts it in the Membership Terms & Conditions.         http://www.costco.com/member-privileges-conditions.html
  17. Does it have to be a photo we took, or can it be any photo?
  18.   At first I wanted the retro look too. Then I realized how much heavier that furniture is than the synthetic stuff.
  19. That's clearly from a Tennessee Black Panther.
  20. J&G has them with regular triggers too.   Wood http://www.jgsales.com/yugo-zastava-npap-ak-style-rifle,-7.62x39,-with-wood-stock.-p-61577.html Black synthetic http://www.jgsales.com/yugo-zastava-npap-ak-style-rifle,-7.62x39,-with-black-synthetic-stock.-p-57949.html   Here's their full list of AK-pattern rifles and pistolas. http://www.jgsales.com/rifles-c-209_214.html
  21. I've been looking at the M92, but dang it if I don't think I like that a bit better.
  22. Here's your costume.
  23. Maybe Rick can pawn Hitler's alien baby. History channel tri-fecta.
