Ya, there's a lot of people that have always been anti-gun, and all of a sudden they want one, lol. I've always been a gun owner though, and own more than a few, so I'm good. I also have plenty of ammo that I bought before. I'm talking 1000's of rounds that I bought for sport shooting and target practice. I'd hate to be the person that would attempt to fuck with me, lol.
I've always had guns since a kid but never been into them as a 'thing'. Just an old 1942 US Air Force issue Lee Enfield Model I Mark IV .303, 16 gauge single shot, Ruger 10-22 semi auto with a 4x Bushnell scope and a single shot .22. Had a Remmington Wingmaster 12g pump I sawed off and cut the stock down to a pistol grip. 18" long but got paranoid and tossed it in the river down the road about 10 years ago. Wish I hadn't now but you get serious time here if caught with something like that and other than a DUI in '94 I got a clean record I'd like to keep. Too damn purdy for prison anyways. ;)

If I need meat for the freezer the .303 will do the job and I got slugs for the 16gauge.

Hopefully this Covis shit doesn't come to that.

:peace:

Well I know it's all around me, they only test you if you have symptoms and request a test if your not at a hospital. I heard from a friend tonight that she thinks her and her husband had it but are recovering, not bad enough to go to the hospital so they were not tested,they live 3 miles away.
Assume the worst and live in fear for a spell, shelter in place and FFS don't go out unless ya got to. Fear is your friend and remember it can't get ya unless ya leave yer ass hanging out. Best of Luck Captain stay safe and stay home, it will be much safer out there in a month or so, but's gonna take a couple at least to knock it down, or so they say.

Actually It would be far worse to be you.

So what? In a city the size of Wuhan they probably go thru that many every few months just for those that died from natural causes.

New York is gonna need a few orders like that before it's all over.

You sound a lot like me. I grew up target shooting with a 22. Then moved to SD where there is nothing to do but hunt or fish, so I started expanding my collection with a 30-06, and a 12 gauge. Then bought a used 9mm pistol, and finally I added the AR15 to my collection before the last election, worried Hillary would win and try to ban them, lol. I think of my AR as a slightly more fun and powerful upgrade from the 22 semi-automatic for sport and target shooting, but could also serve a purpose if worse ever came to worse. Better safe than sorry.

That's the least thing I think of when buying a gun
Well, I always wanted an AR15, and with all the anti-gun shit out there, I wanted to make sure I got one while I could. I thought she might win, lol.

An AR15 with a high-cap mag is the weapon of choice for people who can't really shoot
Man you guys can hate on me all you want. I really don't give a shit. And, I thought you were a gun guy too Napsalot. You were just posting pics of yours a couple days ago, so I really don't get you. Also the AR15 is the most common gun for competition shooting for a reason, it's accurate as fuck. Get your facts straight.

I'm really here to grow weed, not talk politics. I also think they're are a lot of trolls in this section that don't even live in the US, not to mention have ever grown weed, but just trying to stir shit up. If you don't like what I have to say, then I say tough shit.

All I could find


Coronavirus: Breakthrough as researchers map out how the immune system fights the virus
After a Chinese patient infected with the Covid-19 virus recovered before clinical improvement, researchers are hopeful their discovery will fast-track potential treatment for patients in the future.

When a 47-year-old woman from Wuhan, China, presented with mild-to-moderate Covid-19 symptoms, she was admitted to a hospital in Australia where researchers from Melbourne's Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity studied her ability to fight the virus and recover before clinical improvement.

According to the research, which was published in Nature Medicine journal, people are recovering from the new coronavirus like they would from the flu.

The latest Situation Report by the World Health Organization (WHO) states that globally 414 173 cases of Covid-19 and 18 440 deaths have been confirmed.

The study
After the woman had contracted the Covid-19 virus and was admitted to hospital, a team of 13 scientists then tested her blood samples.

Eventually they will have home test to show if you carry the antibody for it so you'll be able to find out if that chest cold was Covid or not. The US has barely begun testing so that line will be going up fast as they finally confirm cases. The party has barely started over here and that includes Canada tho we are a little ahead in testing and reporting.

It ain't over 'til its over.

Went to town this aft to get supplies and got the last 10kg bag of sugar at one store so we're good for a couple months there. Still no hand sanitizer so scored some EverClear. Those hoarder pricks don't know enough science to know it's as good or better than st6ore bought crap to make your own. Gonna add lots of colloidal silver to it to make it extra potent too, ;)

Got the 2nd last bag of whole wheat flour at the other store too so we're all set now to weather the storm. Snowing like a bitch so by morning the zombies won't be able to get to the house and we won't be able to get out. Excellent!

Only saw one person wearing a mask and he was asian. lol Not a lot of Asians or anyone of colour up here so was odd to see. Drug store had a stand with wipes and waste basket. Little sign asking you use one so I did and their half ass bamboo waste basket fell over when I pulled the wipe out. That was it for signs of the crisis here today. People are spaced apart but almost rubbing shoulders going down the aisles at the supermarket. 1 confirmed case at a small city 50 miles from us so far. None here.
