    Justified shooting? What say you?

    It's a window into the mentality of these people. "I get to wave a gun around to make people do what I want, law be damned, and if they try to take the gun from me then I should be able to claim self-defense." Naw hoss. Castle doctrine doesn't mean you get to point a gun at a trespasser on your...

    I gots the Covid.

    MMR, about 88% effective against mumps. When everyone has the vaccine, its very effective at keeping mumps out of the community. TDAP, 80-90%. This is part of why I asked about your background. If your understanding of vaccines is that they need to be 98% effective on every individual to be a...

    Firearm Cleaning

    I have never cleaned a gun to "like new" unless I was selling it. Snake the bore, get the dirt off, oil the steel that got touched or wet, wipe down the bolt and and bolt channel with a rag and some CLP maybe. Half the time I don't do more than just wiping down the outside until it starts to...

    One item you wish you carried sooner?

    Tattoo gloves. I've blown through no end of latex, non-latex, tear-resistant, etc. The black tattoo gloves just seem to tear less, especially if you leave a sharp edge on a bone. No-wash bath wipes. Not usually available at the drug store, these are the ones you'll see in a hospital, assisted...

    Corner Crossing (is any hunter against it?)

    If this attitude was more pervasive in law enforcement, we'd live in a better country. I suppose that attitude would make many areas of our country better. I think we can solve corner crossing by offering to build footbridges with handrails and a 1000lb safe payload. I suspect that many...

    I gots the Covid.

    You're just repeating infowars stuff again. Rand Paul rambling accusations is not evidence. He's a politician looking to score political points. If you have evidence show me. The article I linked for cost makes the math pretty clear, just under $2B for 100MM doses. Whip out your calculator...

    Boom. Boom. Out go the lights.

    Nice shooting. Seems like elk get bigger every time I see one.

    I gots the Covid.

    Merck makes more than just ivermectin, but all their drugs aren't ivermectin. Lamborghini makes tractors and sports cars, but it doesn't make all their sports cars tractors. Thats like if someone says "All Colt revovlers are Pythons" and I point out that the colt revolver we're both staring at...

    I gots the Covid.

    Noting that you didn't mention any numbers or provide any evidence to this outlandish claim, lets learn about VAERS for a moment. Here's the disclaimer from the CDC's VAERS site: "VAERS accepts reports of adverse events and reactions that occur following vaccination. Healthcare providers...

    I gots the Covid.

    Pointing out that you repeated two false statements about a drug is not "defending Merck. It's not ivermectin repackaged, full stop. If you want to claim big pharma repressed effective treatments, put up some evidence specific to that. So far you're0 for 2. The irony of using the phrase "red...

    I gots the Covid.

    What vaccine offers 100% protection from the disease? By what metric are they too risky to be considered vaccines? What other vaccines are you comparing against, what are the risks you're citing? What is your background in studying vaccine efficacy and safety? What does "leaky" mean in this...

    I gots the Covid.

    It does not appear to have any efficacy. "I took it and then i got better" is not evidence. It can be a starting point, but the next step is to repeat that with a bunch of people, controlling for other factors. That's what the clinical trial process is. I'd be happy to explain to the best of my...

    I gots the Covid.

    For parasites. Not viruses. It is an anti-parasitic, not an anti-viral. People have also been treated with aspirin for centuries but that doesn't make it a COVID cure or preventative either.

    I gots the Covid.

    They are not. The Merck drug is Molnupiravir, previously sold as Lagevrio (brand name). It's an antiviral drug that was developed in 2014. Ivermectin is an anti-parasitic, not an anti-viral. \the research to use Molnupavir as a SARS-CoV2 treatment began in March of 2020, before any of the...

    I gots the Covid.

    Already got it. Got my TDAP booster a couple years back too. Get a flu shot every year, because the viruses that cause influenza mutate more rapidly. If this new antivax Google university wave continues I might need to get a polio vaccine to go with my smallpox scar. I'd get a smallpox booster...

    I gots the Covid.

    I didn't realize I was talking to a doctor. I don't maintain a subscription to the Lancet. Frankly, it wouldn't serve me any purpose. An article in The Lancet can be thought provoking, but it's not definitive. As a physician, I assume, when you read these articles you know that they're intended...

    I gots the Covid.

    How do you think it's effecting the immune system in the long term, and based on what? We have to pay people because people like the Front Line Doctors are busy lying about it and trying to simultaneously scare people off the preventative measures and sell ineffective treatments. A lie travels...

    MO Success!

    East, we have a smattering of public land and then the Mark Twain if you drive enough. I can't say if rut was strong or not, plenty of does wandering around looking for some. Most of my people are east MO (WashCo, JeffCo, Iron) or west IL. Seems most folks had decent luck already.

    New to reloading.

    Check your local on that. My city didn't adopt the full IFC, and portions apply to commercial but not residential properties.

    I gots the Covid.

    I don't know how true the 'doesn't work on variants' claim is, based on the studies so far the vaccines still have a pretty good immunity against the variant strains. Notably however, to get post-COVID immunity you have to first get and survive COVID, which carries both the risk of death but...
