  1. Should be ok if, as others have said, nothing looks tampered with and it's in ok condition. Buy it, then for your own sake never return to a pawn shop on W. Broad again.
  2. Also, keep in mind the vast majority of flu deaths are in children, elderly, and people with weakened immune systems. Ebola DGAF. As far as we know. Only prob I see in this is we're all in contact with others body fluids way more than we care to admit. Ever handle money? Use a gas pump? Open a door in a public place? Yeah, people sneeze/pee/spit on their hands alone and don't wash that crap off all the time. For the many many years I was a banker I was sure to sanitize my hands often. Not a paranoid amount, but fairly often. No, we're not a third world country, but body fluids are errwhere. Groce.
  3. He's had it up there 3 times since buying it. All accessories for now. Thinking of getting a tune later.
  4. TIL: Jones often eats bad tacos. Fair point. I have no dog in this fight. I'm not freaking out over it but I also don't think it's not worth noting. I was using the only numbers I had. Even so, I would venture to estimate given similar numbers of infected peoples, right now, ebola would kill more simply because we aren't as prepared. As others have said, we can get a flu shot. Kroger doesn't have a sign out front that says, "Get your Ebola shot today!" All speculation though.
  5. Saw that car in person last Thursday when I took dads ecobewst up to get a few things installed. Insane. Good write up man.
  6. Mortality rate is different though. Where ebola causes an average of 50% of infected victims die, influenza causes ~5%. That's where the fear comes from I believe. Flu is more widespread too so of course that means more infected and therefore more dead. If ebola infected 15,805,000 (using the best case of 5% total population infected with the flu, not the worst case of 20% estimated using the CDC's range, of America's 316.1 million people) then ebola would kill approx. 7,902,500 vs. the CDCs estimated 36k-50k deaths by flu. Ebola is more deadly and we're further from treating it. We haven't "beat" flu, but we're a lot closer to that than "beating" Ebola.
  7. No thanks on a safe that relies on a power source. Personal opinion. YMMV.
  8. (According to a 2010 figure, US only) Influenza and Pneumonia: 53,826 Jones is correct. However, I think what has many people concerned is the incredible jump in infected people vs. past years. Link
  9. I prefer to do my local shopping at Ohio Valley Outdoors in Lancaster. Better service and pricing there then I've gotten at Vances, Gander, Cabelas, etc. They price match on new too so I will print ads off any reputable site (those mentioned previously, Buds, etc.) and they match it no questions asked.
  10. I am picking up the Eagles D in my fantasy league though. Should have a good week.
  11. ^ what they said. Find a good condition used 870. As for barrel length if you're predominately busting clays and occasionally hunting small game (I hunt small game quite often) I'd go 28". You can get a combo as Aaron suggested and swap barrels when home if you so chose, but for what you described 28" is pretty standard.
  12. Any gun is messy/deadly. Get trained in firearms AND self defense. If you can't see an intruder/threat for what it is, please don't buy a firearm. PLEASE disregard this. Someone has listened to too many gun shop employees who have ZERO self defense training. 1) Avoid. 2) Run. 3) De-escalte. 4) Fight. 5) Die. In that order. PLEASE don't assume you're Bruce Lee and try to ambush an intruder/attacker, ESPECIALLY without proper training. Flash them...then what? Why does everyone assume they can place 10 straight immaculately placed shots of any round into a moving target in the middle of the night? Let me get this straight: you have concern over your guys safety and you're choosing to wait and "hope for the best"? Everyone hopes for the best every day. People still get attacked/killed. Don't wait. That's good. It will hopefully only take them until after you're both dead to get to your place. Talk to Mojoe NOW. Don't wait. Also, I offer self defense/Krav Maga training. I'd be more than willing to work with you.
  13. How many pluses can I give this?
  14. Demarco. That is all. Aikman telling Dallas and the world that, "we won superbowls because of Emmit and Demarco is better than him," (or something to that affect) may have opened some eyes. I hope so.
  15. Man, those have all been hilarious on Tosh.0, Ridiculousness, and Fail compilations for the last few years. :gabe:
  16. "I'm not guilty your honor. I didn't run onto the field. Promise."
  17. After having 5 or more Otterbox cases on various phones I would say Lifeproof case > *. Tough, waterproof, and MUCH smaller/thinner than any Otterbox I've personally owned. Been great on my S3.

  19. Advice: Most of CR is NSFW. AVOID chatbox at all costs. Nice car man. Welcome to the site. Thanks for your service. My grandfather (CMSgt Nelson, EOD) served for 21 years. Respect man. Truly.
