Maybe because their houses aren't totally dark at night.

Someone is using a prong collar.... Hey, @silverado427, every time I see your avatar, it looks like there is a broomstick stuck in the back of your pup. Can you photoshop it out? It looks painful...

Exactly how I feel, and got a ton of crap for it. No one knows your house better than you. I think the guys who think they need a WL, have never actually did any drill or practice to see how they get around in the dark. The worst thing you can do is give up the tactical advantage of knowing your surroundings by advertising with a spotlight "Here I come!!!"

Hey... wait a second there...you stole my dog!!!

No. I absolutely agree for the majority of situations. I was just spitballin, as I expect the "tweakers", out of work, who are just trying to do a quick "grab and run" of a few dollars to feed their habit. Maybe some rubber bullets will make them think twice about stopping back, and eliminate the whole messy legal crap and clean up on "Aisle One". Just another "war game" exercise... That's why I asked the question. NJ doesn't have a clear Castle Doctrine like other free states, I was just speculating on how to turn the threat away, without having to put the family through legal jeopardy. My whole defensive plan is built around pulling the trigger as the last resort, showing that I deployed other measures first to deter the threat. Most of that is designed to help my legal defense. I have zero concerns or worries if it comes to pulling the trigger. But I'm also cognizant of how much bullshit I'll go through after that act. How screwed up up is that? Having a plan of action to help prove your innocence, instead of just defending against threat, because of how we're treated in this state.

Just passing on recent information and guidelines.

I agree with you, but someone around here doesn't. I believe factual political statements should be presented, if they relate to the thread, but apparently I'm a minority on that point too.

Careful... political posts AREN'T allowed in the general population. A little birdie told me.....

Almost missed it today. Make sure to give all your pups a special T-bone steak in celebration!

I would check with those campgrounds, more and more are closing every day. I've had two trips cancelled in April. If you get stopped, just tell them you're going out for beer. Liquor stores are consider essential!

That's true, but we need to go one step further, and instead of just talking contagious, we need to also include the severity of the virus. It needs to be qualified just how sick people get when they test positive. There are tons of people walking around TODAY, who actually are positive, and don't even know it. On the Diamond Princess in Japan, HALF that tested positive, were asymptomatic. That is a HUGE data point. Wait... if we do that, where will we get all our cheap China crap from? Apple iPhone 11s just don't grow on trees, ya know..

I'm sure they definitely are. But the data, so far, shows that over 80% get a real mild case, if they get any symptoms at all. I expect with the ramp up of testing, the number of confirmed positives will explode. I just wish the media would sort them out, the serious ones instead of ALL cases, and stop the sensationalism. There are still many who think this came out of the Level 4 biolab in Wuhan. Unfortunately, some of them are dead now.

Well, as a point of reference, NY has had 153,000 flu cases this year and 20,000 Covid cases as of now. I think remember hearing that their hospital bed usage was in the upper 80% ranges (maybe from existing flu cases and other conditions?), before all this Covid stuff hit. So it wouldn't take many more to fill all of them.

...." “Consider this as your final warning,” Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said Monday at a coronavirus briefing in Trenton. “There will be serious legal consequences.” “Stop,” he said bluntly. “Let me be clear that violating these orders is a criminal offense." People who violate the orders could be charged from a disorderly person offense or second, third or fourth-degree crime, he said." At what point do the peasants revolt to having their Liberties removed???? Like having your 2A rights taken away??

Remember, there are 7 known coronaviruses. The first 4 are the common cold. Many people who tested positive for Covid reported minor "cold like" symptoms. It effects people differently, probably based on the strength of their immune systems or antibodies in their systems.

I know a bunch of people (and even some members here) who had a "strange" flu in that Dec/Jan period. I know I did. They didn't think it was the normal flu, just treated it with mild symptoms, and went on with their day. I believe it has been here a lot longer than they think.

What would be beneficial is a antibody test, to see who already had it and has a possible immunity to it.

Sure, the majority. But a few of the minority here just "think" they're informed. Everyone knows that.

What could possibly go wrong there?

I looked around to pick up another Taser. They're pretty much out of stock with most suppliers.

Only the stuff Facebook and Google crams through your news feed ... you know, only the "news" they want you to read. Why do you think people here are so uninformed? Kitchen appliances and dinner meat is more important.

Your point?

Gun dealers are not considered an essential business, and they’re not happy about it Gov. Phil Murphy’s executive order to close all non-essential retail business has forced gun dealers, who were experiencing a spike in sales amid the anxiety surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, to shut down. On Saturday, the online service used to process background checks for firearm dealers, the New Jersey National Instant Criminal Background Check System, told stores they can no longer process requests. “Per Executive Order 107, (Murphy) is ordering the residents of New Jersey to stay home, directing all non-essential retail businesses closed to the public,” a notice on the online system states. “At this time, the order includes New Jersey Firearms State Licensed Dealers.” https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2020/03/gun-dealers-are-not-considered-an-essential-business-and-theyre-not-happy-about-it.html

Yes, and they will be wearing uniforms. ....." Gov. Phil Murphy said he’s “really damned unhappy” to hear stories he’s hearing about New Jersey residents not abiding by his stay-at-home order to combat the coronavirus outbreak and warned Sunday to expected a law enforcement crackdown. Enforcement could include arrests, he said. " It was talked about here: @Kevin125, what are you thinking now?

Yes, I can read that. It also says "opinion".... My issue is, he should stick to medicine and data, and not take cheap shots at "you know who" and the current administration. But since this specialist is a hardcore lefty, who donates heavily to the Dem party, and besides writing stories with cheap shots for CNN, he also writes them for Slate and NYT. SSDD... Plus, he rants on and on about testing and passes blame. Testing doesn't change anything, it's just a data collection activity. If you have symptoms, either from Covid or Flu, they get treated the same way. Doing more testing, like he rants about, doesn't change outcomes or treatments.
