When it really happens: SHTF...

Five state governors ordered nursing homes to take covid patients in direct contradiction to CDC recommendations. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan and California. 70% of all deaths in PA are from nursing homes.

Gun show report. Got there late morning, no crowd. Parking lot had plenty of spaces. Lots of stuff for sale inside. Most of the stuff was older. Not a lot of modern guns so they are selling. Did not see much ammo for sale either. This was a small show.

Aragorn243-- That's one of the weird things about this gun buying panic. No one wants a good used gun! The younger generation wants new not "old" people's guns. same with rifles. Plenty of bolt actions to including milsurplus but they want the pistol caliber carbine, an AK or an AR platform. I cannot think of a better home defense gun as an Enfield, Mauser, Araiska, M1903, M1917, Pat 14 or M1 rifle with a bayonet on it as a home defense gun. If any protester shows up, they will not cause trouble or they will get my "point" of view not to cause trouble.

Ero troppo ubriaco per fare foto. Troppo buon vino

Saluti

Dormi bene amico mio ubriaco !

I behaved, actually. But it could have ended also the other way...

Today I received the news that the NHRA event near my house has been cancelled for this year. The NHRA is a national drag racing series, the top of the line in the US. They are competing in different states. The reason for cancelling was our state Governor and his draconian restrictions. Most local businesses are ignoring him completely now including the track the event is held at but as this is a national organization, I guess they don't want to make any waves. No evidence yet that any of these large outside gatherings are spreading Covid. I had been looking forward to it but oh well, just chalk up another disappointment for this year. Depression and suicides in excess of the normal average are now killing more younger people here than the virus itself.

Discotheques, ballrooms, parties allowed until the 15th of August, then... OMG, the youngsters will spread the virus!!!
So...everything prohibited again.
Gathering after 6PM requires a mask, before that no...
You see gentlemen, when I started this thread I was scared by the idiotic, amateurish to say the least way of informing people. Now I know that it is even worse.
This is a little joke going through the younger guys social media...

The NHRA has only held 3 National events this summer, all at Indianapolis - The next one will be there, too. Luckily, since I don't have cable or satellite, they've all been shown on the standard FOX network. - Bob

The've taken to defacing curches and relgious statues here in the US. Most go unreporsed evidently by the news.

I bet that if they tried it on a mosque, that would go reported...

Only if it were not Antifa and BLM

I had checked their website and they had several competitions prior to the shutdown also. I didn't look very closely at the dates or locations. They still have others listed as happening. I am not a huge fan, I just like going there. Watching on TV isn't the same. Plus I collect the hero cards and enjoy getting them signed which most do at these events. I had been looking forward to it as I subscribe to their web page and have been monitoring their competitions. They are still holding the smaller events and I'm sure they are exceeding the 250 people limit with those. Add to that the Governor already had to back down once and that was for a car flea market and show. He took them to court and the Judge chewed his stooges some new ones and they backed off. Event went on as planned with 5000-10,000 people. Didn't help his cause at all when the judge watched the Governor walking side by side with protestors, BLM and their like.

We now have one of our popular ice cream shops/sandwich shops just announcing they are closing due to the governor. They were even doing their best to follow the guidelines. Outside seating, reduced inside seating. Governor sent his jackboots in there over the weekend I guess.

Meanwhile, several other restaurants are business as usual. Full capacity. Been like that for about two months now. Governor hasn't touched them yet. Not sure why, probably because they have lawyers.
