11 hours ago, njJoniGuy said:The Glenn Beck (The Blaze) interview I watched earlier, Ian was on and said that the plumbing company he called in to clear to blockage the other night found that an entire industrial size roll of paper towel had been flushed down a toilet.
Now with it being members and staff only in the place, and Ian having said that a lot of local leos were members, it raised the question in my mind about the PD turning one of their officers who was a gym member and having him sabotage the place so they could bring in the health dept and shut it down.
Talk about official misconduct!
So what your saying is you have absolutely no proof a cop did it, but It's official misconduct. Okay then.

Edit: Apparently it is true. I won't support that piece of garbage.
It is true. He drove shitfaced and killed a 19 year old. Quite a few of my bowling friends were friends with Kevin (the deceased).

My town has permits ready a week after your fingerprints.

SJSC has announced they'll open Friday.

The question: does the BC have any common sense?
The DoD is not going to risk letting civilians onto the base recreationally even if it's not interacting with soldiers and risk spreading the pandemic through an entire military base.

72F and rainy will be just fine. My mother always said about going out in the rain "Don't worry ... you're not so sweet you'll melt!"
If SJSC isn't open yet, I'll be at Cumberland. My trigger finger is so itchy, if I can't put it into a trigger guard, I'm afraid I'll put it in someone's eye!
Not a peep out of SJSC yet. I'm looking to join once they re-open. I want to be able to shoot further than 100 yards and Range 14 is about an hour and fifteen minutes. SJSC is maybe 30 minutes at most. Cumberland is also about 30 minutes. 600 yards would be awesome to shoot at.

Maybe if he keeps opening and keeps getting fined and people keep donating, that'll help offset our taxes. Thanks donators!

Conversations would be like two sentences long.
They are like slikys; nobody really knows what's their purpose but every time they are played with, it brings me a smile.
Besides, greeny has spunk. I like that in a broad.
It'd just be one giant circlejerk.

Why does Newark get to hand out free state funded tax money? While everyone else gets jackshit? Thats not even considering a lot of renters already pay reduced rent because tax payers offset the cost.
According to the article about the issue, the money comes from a federal grant, not the state. And also from the city's housing trust fund.
As for school taxes, I wouldn't expect anything in the form of tax relief.

That is unless you have a 4 month supply of food and toilet paper and haven't needed to shop. If not...you are the pawn.
Which gym do you go to where everyone actually does that? Because I've never seen a gym where every person actually sprays and disinfects everything they use?
Also, I need to eat to survive. No one has to work out at a gym to survive.

If it goes towards rent, isn't that in turn then helping bail out people renting out property owners? Are they not small business owners too?

Our ranges are not?
Discrimination. Period
File charges here - we do some every day on the traitorous d-rat gangsters.
The more I think about it, the more I wonder if the golf thing was Phil Murphy's method of trying to kiss DJT's ass for more federal funding. After all, his golf course wasn't making money being shutdown and that probably pissed him off.

They deserve to be road pizza for behavior like that.
I'd be super pissed about the dent in my car if I hit them as a result of them doing this stunt.

Sounds like you are suggesting they commit a felony.

My reloads are better than factory...any range that doesn't allow reloads i wouldn't shoot at...
I feel like that's most indoor ranges. Though no one has ever checked my headstamps before.

1 minute ago, JC_68Westy said:You said "Because this isn't SARS and is not remotely relevant"
Fact #1: It's not SARS (formally known as SARS-COV-1).
Fact #2: A drug that works SARS-COV-1 does not mean it will work for SARS-COV-2 as they are not the same.
So just because a drug works for SC1 is not proof it's a miracle drug for SC2 as you and others want to tout with no proof.

1 hour ago, JackDaWack said:Nearly the same. They're both mediocre in terms of performance. I've not used these yet, but hear they are good for plinking. I have used the Hornady in the past and wasn't overly impressed. Then 55grainfmj are not in the same ball park as their match grade bullets.
With the current state of reloading components, worrying over 3 bucks is stupid. Who knows when Brownells will have them back in stock... or if the price will stay the same. These were available, get good enough reviews, and will serve my purposes. Honestly, they will probably sit in my stash unused as my go to rounds are 68gr bthp or the 73gr eld match bullets.
Interesting. So essentially the only difference is whether one is available compared to the other. But I wouldn't expect them to be similar to match grade ammo. Still great for shooting steel for fun.

8 minutes ago, JC_68Westy said:I one post you say that is is not "remotely relevant", and in another post you type that they are both coronaviruses (SARS-COV). Nobody said they are the same, they are similar. Either you are such a narcissist that cannot accept that you are wrong, or you are much less intelligent than you think you are.
If you say SARS, colloquially you are referring to a disease from 17 years ago. That is not the same disease. Similar is not the same as same. Tiny genetic differences less than a percentile, can make huge differences.

The problem however is the person that thinks they are the smartest person in the room - far too often isn't - even though they think and pontificate like they are.
Find a mirror, go stand in front of it look at your reflection and read the above statement.
From a johns hopkins white paper....
SARS-CoV-2 Genetics Updated April 16, 2020 Key Findings for Public Health •
The outbreak was initiated from either a single introduction into humans or very few animal-to-human transmission events. •
SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 use the same cellular receptor, ACE2, which could be used as a starting point for creating therapeutics for SARS-CoV-2. Background Coronaviruses, including the pneumonia-causing novel coronavirus currently known as SARS-CoV-2, are enveloped, nonsegmented, positive-sense RNA viruses. Coronavirus genomes have some of the largest genomes among RNA viruses, with approximately 25-32 kilobases.1 The typical CoV genome includes a 5’-cap, 5’-untranslated region (UTR), open reading frames, a 3’-UTR, and 3’-poly(A) tail. The first two thirds of the genome typically codes for nonstructural proteins from 2 open reading frames that form the replicase complex. The last third of the genome encodes primarily structural proteins.2 There are 4 conserved structural proteins across CoVs: the spike (S) protein, membrane (M) protein, envelope (E) protein, and nucleocapsid (N) protein.1 The S protein is responsible for binding to host cell receptors and viral entry to host cells. The M, E, and N proteins are part of the nucleocapsid of viral particles. SARS-CoV-2 Naming In a paper published early in the pandemic,3 viral sequences collected from the earliest patients were assessed and compared to known viral sequences. Sequence analysis of 11 samples found that SARS-CoV-2 is in the same species as SARS-CoV; the 2 viruses are 94.6% similar in amino acid sequence (80% nucleotide sequence similarity) across the genome.3 However, other studies from early in the outbreak do not consider the viruses to be the same species, as they differ by more than 10% in the replicase genes.4 In February, the Coronavirus Study Group (CSG) of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses officially named the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The CSG analyzed viral genomes from several patients and assessed phylogenetic (evolutionary) relationships between the new virus and known coronaviruses. The committee found that the genome of viruses isolated from patients was similar enough to SARS genomes to be considered a variant of SARS, not an entirely novel virus. While the clinical presentation, epidemiologic patterns, and host range of SARS-CoV-2 may differ from the original SARS-CoV, it is the genetic similarity between the 2 viruses that is used to conclude they are the same species. For this reason, the CSG has named SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 as variants of the species known as Severe acute respiratory syndrome– related coronaviruses. The name SARS-CoV-2 is distinct from the name of the disease, which the WHO has officially designated COVID-19.
(end)
Given the fact that they are so closely related and share quite a lot, while genetically they are related they are different to a degree.
Given that HC and C, were considered for sars-cov, it is not unreasonable to think you couldn't apply it to sars-cov2.
Additionally, usage of it as a last resort is not the place to use it, some have determined. It has better results when used earlier...
By then clotting is tje major cause of organ failure, or so has been reported.
Stop being intentionally obtuse..... and a dolt.
I work with young folks like you daily, and they far often than not make asses of themselves. No matter how much paper you hang or letters you place after your name, it cannot give you common sense.
Now go find some blocks and play, adults are speaking
Stop pretending like you understand what they are talking about. You don't.
94.6% similar in DNA isn't as similar as you think. I mean, we share 99% of our DNA with chimps. Would you say we are similar enough to chimpanzees to just say we are basically the same? Hell no. And that's just one variant. There are now multiple variants of COVID-19. And they even point out that other studies have found variations less similar to SARS-CoV-1.You completely ignored the unhighlighted sections since they don't prove your point and are cherry picking statements that do.
It is not unreasonable to imagine that treatment for one may work for the other. It IS unreasonable to assume it will be without testing. And giving just a few patients with no background info the drug and them not dying is not proof enough to call it a cure. Politicians, bloggers, etc. taking one doctor's anecdotal experience and touting it as a cure is irresponsible.
Either take into account the whole study or ignore it all together. You can't pick one or two statements from it and ignore the rest of the body of text which doesn't support your opinion. That's a damned joke of pretending to use studies to backup your arguments.

I've had local PD fingerprint me for background checks from other agencies. Walked in, told them what I needed and why, got it done quickly, was out the door fast. They didn't charge for it. They didn't make any copies. Any reason you can't check with your local PD to see if they'd do it?
Show us your 1911's

Applied for two handgun permits over the weekend. Both my references submitted their electronic questionnaires within 10 minutes of me submitting my application. Real swell folks.
I know I want a 1911. Was thinking of getting a Rock Island Armory based off a friend's suggestion. Good for the price, nothing crazy. Either the GI series or Rock series. Either full or medium size. Just debating the caliber. 10mm sounds pretty cool, but the price doesn't make it worth it. .45 ACP would be classic. Or I could just go 9mm and go nuts at the range.
