I already made my list of suggestions that cover multiple scenarios.
http://leveledsurvival.com/buying-list/
Bicycles could be advantageous in some areas. Though remember sticking to roads means staying close to people. Plus, if you are in rough country, you need to be in good shape to travel off trail and have the right type of bike.
Cash is good until it isn't...then what do you do? I guess it makes ok TP and fire tinder.
Gold and silver are good as long as the people you want to trade with have their basic needs covered. A sane man isn't gonna trade food for gold if he is hungry. So precious metals are good if you are stocked up on necessities. I have some and wouldn't hate to have more.
Agree. We have several bicycles, but we also have 2 good horses. The horses will get you off the road but also are more visible

Not related to the virus, but in our house when you run out of TP on the toilet, we holler out, "code white!!", which means somebody bring me some TP.
If nobody is home to bring it, then it’s code brown

I expect you’ll see national restrictions and flights grounded in the next few days.
Even with as little testing as we’re doing, you’re still seeing cases double every three days. This is the exponential doubling we’re worried about - and lack of testing likely means we’re a few days closer to Italy than we think.
We may be too late - but on our current path, estimates suggest we could have 9.4 million sick and 1 million dead at the same time. Note that we have 95,000 ICU beds in the US - and this load would suggest we’d need 460,000.
This isn’t a guess or some worst case scenario. This is math coupled with what we’ve seen in Italy - another first world country.
Seriously. If you can hole up for a couple weeks - consider it your civic duty.
I think you’re right about the potential flight restrictions. Airlines will be cutting their schedules as well since bookings have disappeared. I’m a pilot for a major airline, and they’re saying this is like nothing they’ve ever experienced (including 9/11). The economic damage will be severe, but I pray it won’t be crippling to our futures and economy.
I’ve had a lot of time off (over a month), but I’m scheduled to work next week. I have elderly parents staying with us right now, and I sure don’t want to drag anything back to them. I think staying away from people for a couple weeks is great advice though. We need to stop the spread

My last gun purchase was a full size 1911. A 1943 model from the CMP
Prior to that was a S&W M&P9

That’s awesome. I’ve thought of carrying my own plastic straws to use when I go out there too
.
FL seems just as bad as CA now with trying to save the environment with paper straws. I sometimes go through 3 of them per drink. It’s so annoying and nasty when a paper straw “gives up” while you’re drinking. Last week, I got some fast food in FL, and they handed me wooden utensils instead of plastic
. It’s the new thing in some places and just a small glimpse of the green new deal I guess.

I thought they were too busy trying to manufacture an impeachment, or maybe they need a diversion from that now

Further evidence of Walmart's PC pandering culture about guns and ammo. If they are so concerned the next school, church or Walmart shooter, why don't they get ride of all of their toy "weapons of war" that fill up the toy section. This is in my local Walmart. Are they encouraging children to become War Hawks?
I thought that thing was real until I saw the orange muzzle!

The difference, however, is the person firing on the enemy or firing on your own people.
Yep. I’ve known a few Apache pilots. All I’ve known were very conservative, and I feel confident none would ever fire on another American. Bad guys in Somalia yes, Americans in USA no. You’d be hard pressed to find any fighter/bomber pilot willing to do this. I imagine It’d be the same with tanks, etc.

Take your age, divide by .005, times pie( 3.14159 ), add 1000, minus 1, times your age to the 10th power = enough.
If you think that is not enough change .005 to .00005 and you age to the 15th power.
Thanks! I knew there had to be a formula.

This is just the first of many. I don’t see any pro-gun groups starting a fund to pay Walmart’s legal fees. And that’s just wrong.
Everybody’s all worried about losing their privilege of carrying in Wal-Mart, but is the gun community stepping up and saying, “Hey Walmart, we have your back in this; it wasn’t your fault.”.
Ask the gun community to help Walmart out, after they have tried to stay neutral as long as they could, by kicking in some money, and bet all you will get is hem hawing and hand wringing.
Walmart gets sued if someone falls in the dairy isle, but they’re not going to stop selling cheese. The dairy farmers aren’t going to pay their legal fees. When a business opens it’s doors to the public, it risks suit for almost anything.
How does not selling SBR ammo (whatever that is), handgun ammo and asking people to stop OC keep people from suing them? Still doesn’t change a thing.
The gun community didn’t do this. A deranged lunatic did.

If you are in this state, you are legal. When the new carry permits come out; those folks won’t have a choice. Someone decided that if you don’t have any training you should have to be concealed. I’m not sure how or why that matters; but so be it. It gets more people carrying that couldn’t afford to before.
Until our state recognizes the 2nd amendment as an individual right of all citizens; I support the business owners. They aren’t the government and they aren’t violating your rights; you have no right to carry on their property if they don’t want you to; as a matter of fact, it’s a crime.
That’s why I said it bothers me that businesses that aren’t gun related are being forced to pick sides. They aren’t going to pick our side.
When you are Wal-Mart and a gunman has murdered 22 people and shot 24 others in a brutal attack in your store; you get to make new rules if you so desire. I refuse to judge Wal-Mart on these decisions. Are we all going to step up and pay the legal costs when all these lawsuits against Wal-Mart hit the courts? Of course we won’t; that won’t be our problem.
The line absolutely is moving closer in this state. It’s moving closer to Constitutional carry. But you still won’t be able to force your beliefs on a business owner; if you don’t like what they do, don’t go there, understand that concealed means concealed and risk a $500 fine, or disarm. Those are your choices.
Don’t get worked up. You can’t buy rights. Beating your head against the wall over trying to force your gun privileges you bought from the state isn’t going to work, and it isn’t worth the stress.
I’m really not worked up at all, I was just using a word from the post I quoted. I’m a pretty low-stress guy, lol. Concerned is a better word I guess.
I agree with all that about businesses, except I can judge them for what they are when they choose to pick a side.... they are making an anti 2A political statement. Walmart didn’t have to do what they did. They chose to. Just as I can choose not to drop dollars in their registers.
I actually stopped going to Walmart’s long ago anyway for several other reasons.

Thanks. Have you been casting bullets also?

The coyote won’t notice overkill. Getting killed the 2nd or 3rd time doesn’t matter to him, only the first
I’ve only shot mine with a 30-06 while deer hunting. It worked.
Now shooter-recoil overkill is valid. Since you have a concern with a surgery, I’d go as light as possible. Suppressed 223 is pretty enjoyable.

Why are some people worked up about the lack of open carry? Is it because it makes them feel like a bad ass and they want everyone around them to see ,hey, look at me, I carry a gun? I always have mine on me when I leave my house but it is always under my shirt. There is no way I want other people in public knowing that I carry.
Flame away. I'm a big boy and I can take it.
Bill
It’s about chipping away at our rights. It doesn’t have anything to do with “hey look at me”. It’s more about the 2A and “shall not be infringed”. It gets some of us worked up because it’s moving the front line closer. Today’s open carry is tomorrow’s CARRY.
I personally don’t open carry in public, but it sure is nice knowing that if my T-shirt rides up, I’m still legal.

The document resolves to assess the relationships that those who do business with the city have with the group and says “the City and County of San Francisco should take every reasonable step to limit those entities who do business with the City and County of San Francisco from doing business with this domestic terrorist organization.”
I say give them what they want! S&W, Glock, etc. should stop selling to their police force, bodyguards and security teams. Cut them off from anything firearm related. They are begging for it

They're reporting now that shooter failed a background check when trying to buy a gun so he went and bought one through a private transaction which, of course, does not require a background check. Exactly the situation that the media and anti-gunners have been waiting for. Media is already sticking microphones in Republican politicians faces and asking when they are going to do something and institute MBCs.
Oh geez. Here we go
