Yea, that's not happening. I will say, the lull in hospital census appears to be over where I am. The place has been packed for a few weeks now, and not with any particularly high amount of Covid cases. Its trauma season, so that's taking a large chunk of beds. Don't get sick right now.

Seems stable

My bestfriend bought a RZR 900 a few years ago. Thing was cool, but I'm not sure it was $15k worth of cool. Shortly after buying it, he rolled it through a field, ejecting another friend of his, and giving him a severe enough head injury that his family decided to give his organs away to some other people. My friend got pretty banged up; broken ribs, concussion, etc. Grant medical center was nice enough to inform him that the results of his abdominal CT showed he had some incidental findings of late stage cirrhosis of his liver and should probably quit drinking and making poor life choices. He didn't and died 8 months later. Moral of the story: Wear your seatbelts, wear your helmets, limit the drinking while on these things, and try to limit the dumb shit you do because they really will kill you.

He's probably not wrong.

I tried finding a new one a couple months back right after the factories shut down and there wasn't one to be had, in any flavor, in the eastern US.

I've been trying to find a decent one for awhile now and they're hard as hell to find.

A buddy of mine has a Superior Safe, and loves it. Personally, when I do make the investment for a nice safe, I'll probably go with Rhino Ironworks. I like the looks, the builds, and that they are made by vets. For now, I store all my guns in the kids bedroom. Nobody will ever think to look there.

Has the POC community stated what they will be doing to help the situation or is this all the LEOs fault?

Not surprised in the least.

Awesome!

what did you get?

Lately I've been throwing rocks and molotov cocktails, curling cans of spray paint, and running from the police.

I got most of my Dillon stuff probably 10 years ago at Valley outdoors South of Chillicothe. They've since closed.

I run a Dillon XL650 and have always had good luck with it. As you mentioned, all the time is in the setup. However, once it's up and running, it runs great. In fact, the faster you run it, the smoother it runs. I have tool heads for every caliber I run so caliber changes are relatively quick. I also have a powder alarm so I don't have to slow down as much to verify powder drops. A case feeder, bullet feeder, extra primer tubes, and a Frankford Arsenal Vibra-Prime will save you a ton of time as well. Back when I shot USPSA and bought 9mm components in bulk, I could load a round for around $0.11 and I could make the powderpuff rounds I was looking for that you can't really buy.

You should weasel your way into the prison system. You'd make a mint.

All trials? No. Some showed benefits, some didn't. Sample sizes haven't been large enough at this point to get a firm consensus on if its truly beneficial or not. I'm still leaning towards it being a marginal benefit, if any. As far as it increasing deaths, again, that's coincidental because the sample sizes haven't been large enough. My point was, physicians are still using it in the critical care setting as an adjunct therapy when nothing else is working. People love to make fun of it because Trump mentions it, but physicians are still using it.

I'm not sure if the general public is aware of this, or if people just like to lash out at Trumpski because he suggested it, but actual physicians are prescribing hydroxychloroquine to those who are positive. At least in the critical care units I roam in. I see people making fun of the med quite frequently but it is being used. Just a PSA.

I refuse to go to that Kroger and its the closest one to me.

People wearing gloves are what drives me nuts, like the gloves magically kill the virus. Wear the gloves, touch everything in the world and then your face, remove gloves improperly, etc. No need for gloves folks. Just be mindful of what you touch, which includes your face, and continue to wash your hands.

Was just there Saturday with a group of guys. Super awesome weather for it.

Poor Canadia ASSOCIATED PRESS PUBLISHED: 05/01/20 01:34 PM EDT TORONTO (AP) — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday that Canada is banning the use and trade of assault-style weapons immediately. Trudeau cited numerous mass shootings in the country, including the killing of 22 people in Nova Scotia April 18 and 19. He announced the ban of over 1,500 models and variants of assault-style firearms, including two weapons used by the gunman as well as the AR-15 and other weapons that have been used in a number of mass shootings in the United States "Canadians need more than thoughts and prayers," Trudeau said. The Cabinet order doesn’t forbid owning any of the military-style weapons and their variants but it does ban the use and trade in them. He said the order has a two-year amnesty period for current owners, and there will be a compensation program that will require a bill passed in Parliament. In the meantime, they can be exported, returned to manufacturers, and transported only to deactivate them or get rid of them. In certain limited circumstances, they can be used for hunting. “You do not need an AR-15 to take down a deer," Trudeau said. “So, effective immediately, it is no longer permitted to buy, sell, transport, import or use military-grade, assault weapons in this country.” Trudeau said the weapons were designed for one purpose and one purpose only: to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time. "There is no use - and no place - for such weapons in Canada,” he said. Mass shootings are relatively rare in Canada, but Trudeau said they are happening more often. Trudeau noted he was nearby when in Montreal when gunman Marc Lepine killed 14 women and himself at Montreal’s Ecole Polytechnique college in 1989. The Ruger Mini-14 Lepine used is among weapons included in the ban. Trudeau has said his government would introduce further gun control legislation prohibiting military-style assault weapons, a measure that had already been planned before the coronavirus pandemic interrupted the current parliamentary session. “As of today the market for assault weapons is closed. Enough is enough,” Public Safety Minister Bill Blair said. The gunman in Nova Scotia, 51-year-old Gabriel Wortman, shot 13 people to death and set fires that killed nine others in one of the worst mass shootings in the country's history. Police have said he used a handgun that was obtained in Canada and long guns that he obtained in the U.S., but they have not specifically said what guns he used. The rampage started with an assault on his girlfriend and it ended with 22 people dead in communities across central and northern Nova Scotia. A number of people had disputes with the gunman. Blair said two of the illegal long guns that Wortman used are now on the list of weapons banned. He declined to identify them. He said making such guns illegal in Canada will make it harder for criminals to obtain them. “Every firearm begins legally and then moves into an illegal market,” Blair said. Opposition Conservative leader Andrew Scheer accused Trudeau of using the “immediate emotion of the horrific attack in Nova Scotia to push the Liberals’ ideological agenda and make major firearms policy changes.” Scheer said the Nova Scotia shooter did not have a firearms licence, so all of his guns were illegal. “Taking firearms away from law-abiding citizens does nothing to stop dangerous criminals who obtain their guns illegally,” Scheer said in a statement. “The vast majority of gun crimes are committed with illegally obtained firearms. Nothing the Trudeau Liberals announced today addresses this problem."

I cannot possibly think of a better gun. My lever action 410 would be a close runner up.

This. 9/10 times, the cause of death will be 'respiratory failure' or 'sepsis' which are essentially catchall diagnoses. Hospitals aren't reimbursed by CMS based soley on cause of death. Multiple diagnoses are coded using ICD-10 based on how they present.

It's not. Its coded as one of the diagnoses, which isn't a fib.

But in skeet, they're 25. I also don't buy that an average shooter went 100% for 5 rounds in a row in skeet. I shoot sporting clays on and off. Went a couple week ago, going again Tuesday, and then again on the 15th with a big group. I'm a mediocre clay shooter, at best. It really depends on how the course is setup. Cardinal is where we go most of the time and if you shoot the courses around the time they're having a tournament............good luck. :dumb:
