When it really happens: SHTF...

Now the they cancelled the State Farm Show which is in January. Saying farmers understand the need to let their crops go fallow some seasons. I think the farmers are almost in unison saying f-you to the governor and going on with their lives as usual. This is a huge event which we attend every year. The Governor has control of the Farm Show complex and has had it closed since March. This is a complex (expo center) which has an activity nearly every weekend and some of them last all week. Often there are two or three events going on at the same time. It is a huge complex. The only event still on the schedule is a motorcycle swap meet in November. Not sure why it is still there. There are four gun shows a year here an all have been cancelled and that's a violation of the 2nd Amendment. But he is anti-gun so I guess he figures if everything is closed, that can be also but why the mototcycles?

Tuesday Italy was shocked by the news of a 5 year old girl in ICU, dying from Covid.
Yesterday her doctor was interviewed by a newspaper and said that the girl was in extremely serious conditions, fighting for her life due to a rare and extremely severe disease, and that she was tested for Covid like everybody else being accepted in a hospital and found positive. But that had nothing to do with her conditions.
This is one example, but we had almost the same today with five teenagers who came back from Sardinia, after holidays. Hospitalisation in ICU for one of them, until the hospital, called by a journalist, denied any condition other than a light fever. Otherwise absolutely ok and about to be sent back home, all of them. One had fever, four nothing...
If this is the kind of information we get, then I really think that I'll become an anarchist and flip everybody else the finger sooner or later...
Take care my friends, I'm leaving for holidays tomorrow. Guzzi California for a criss-crossing of Central Italy to reach the Family. Great!!!

Another victim of the medical industrial complex. I for one will pray for her recovery regardless of what form of illness she is afflicted with and will not attempt to profit in any way from what she does or does not have.

Another update from Thursday: The blood was in the water!! It was a feeding frenzy that I have never seen before. We advertised on social media at 11:45AM (Opening at 12:00PM to 6:00PM due to the Covid-19 virus) that we had the 10 Troy A4 5.56mm Other firearms, 5 Black Aces 12 gauge pump shotguns, and 5 12 Gauge tactical Churchill pistol grip shotguns and 5 Churchills with the conventional buttstocks. With in ONE hour and fifteen minutes all of the Troys and Black Ace Pump shotguns were gone!! By the end of the day we only had one pistol grip Churchill and three of the conventional Churchills left. They will probably be all gone by the end of today. No 9mm ammo this week everything went to the police for their qualifications.

Update for August 21, 2020-- Another episode in the daily soap opera, "As the Gun (World) Turns." Early Wednesday we received another 10 Troy Defense A4 Other Firearms, appears they are only making 5.56mm and in only black to speed up production along with 10 Churchill 12 Gauge Pump shotguns. The Churchills are Turkish made and quite nice and appears to be a cross between a Benelli and Remington 870 shotgun. Two additional features that I like is the chrome plated bores and removal chokes so you can put a compensator or shot spreader on the muzzle. The 10 Churchills were 5 with pistol grips and 5 with conventional stocks. The Troys were 5 with 10.5 inch barrels and 5 with 12.5 barrels. The 12.5 inch barrels appears to be the more popular at the moment. We placed the shipment on our social media page at 4:00PM (two hours) before closing. we sold 6 Troys in that time frame. At the end of the day we were down to 4 Troys, 1 with 12.5 barrel and 3 with 10.5 inch barrel. We also sold 5 of the Churchills in the same time frame. When we open yesterday, the remaining Troys were sold in the first hour. We are supposed to an additional shipment next week, that will be fun.

Ammo is getting harder to get, we have been out of 9mm "Standard" Range ammo for also two weeks now. We have been selling the 9mm Critical Duty and HST Hollow Points in its place which is considerably more expensive and available. People are starting not to care about the law, we are advising our customers that using a hollow point in self-defense is a crime in NJ. They do not care they only protecting their lives! Ran out of 12 gauge 00 Buck and 5.56mm yesterday. Only a case left of the .223 Remington. Yes, I know there is no real difference in modern rifles but you cannot tell that to the idiot gun "experts" as most modern 5.56mm rifles are chambered for all three, .223 Rem/5.56mm M193/5.56mm NATO. Still good on .38 Special, .40 S&W and .45ACP at the moment. Still getting folks looking for the impossible, I had one idiot attempt to bribe me for a Troy A4 Other in FDE. When I told him they are NOT being made he acted like I have a secret cache somewhere just for him. He ask what should he do? I being a bit of smart *ss especially after the bribe attempt said, "Buy a black Troy A4 Other and spray paint it FDE like we did in the military". So ended that conversation. Been very active in the gunsmithing, the relics are being brought in to fix and repair. I had two double barrel 12 gauge shotguns come in that looks like they were dragged behind a FEDEX truck and put away wet. Rust from the front to the rear and the barrels's interiors looked like sewer pipes for "restoration". Unbelievable! so ends this week's episode in "As the Gun (World) Turns". Stay healthy and safe, Keep your powder dry and remember the family that slays together stays together.

The state high school sports controlling body today declared that fall sports are a go in defiance of the Governors recommendation. Now the question is will he abide by it or will he make it a mandate and shut it down.

It is just a shame that something like that is used with a polytical agenda for spreading panic with the pandemic...

One can only hope he'll abide by their decision. I've already lost my most important season of spring track to Corona, If I lose my senior year too it will seriously hurt my chances of running in college. This whole thing has turned into a nightmare as far as my college plans go, I think I've had 3 SATs canceled on me, I can't do visits, and alot of people who graduated are putting off college for a year meaning I will have more competition. I know it's greedy to think only of how this will effect me, but this has been dragged out over far too long in my opinion. At least everyone's in the same boat, but that's not much conciliation when it's sinking.

lithgow1918: This will pass and you will adjust your plans and move on. Stay strong and focused on your future. All the best from a guy well along the road of life. Steve

Thanks, means alot. I'm not too stressed about it, but Corona has just become one more thing to deal with. On the positive side I have plenty of time to deal with it and everything, aside from SATs, has been going smoothly.

Looking back my first post was a tad on the dramatic side, but I guess I'm just venting my frustration from being cooped up for so long with not much to do.

Update for August 23, 2020 - "As the Gun World Turns" Late Friday afternoon we received another shipment of 10 Troy A4 Other Firearms, and 10 Churchill 12 gauge shotguns, and a series of pump action AR platforms in 5.56mm, .300 Blackout and .338 Federal, very unusual looking firearms, since they are pump action and not semi-auto they do not fall under the Assault weapons ban, additionally we also received 5 of the Black Aces Tactical 12 gauge FD12 Bullpup shotguns in Green color, two hours before closing. We logged in the firearms and held them until opening yesterday. On Saturday within the first two hours, all of Troy A4 Other and Black Aces Tactical shotguns were gone. At the end of the day, we had only two of the 10 Churchills left, and none of the pump action AR rifles sold. I guess folks want to spend more money on a semi-auto than a pump action rifle. What fun! We are supposed to another shipment tomorrow, Monday and the fun continues. Still no new ammo shipments.
