Sometimes a shooter's name is withheld so they don't get all the immediate attention. The Collierville PD Chief just gave a press conference and didn't reveal much except that 15 people were shot and 10 were employees. He was asked several questions about the shooter and motive, but repeated that the investigation was still ongoing and he was not releasing any of that yet.

Maybe, maybe not. People I know who have gotten the shot have had reactions ranging from "I had a sore shoulder" to "the first shot was nothing, the second one made me sick" to "the first one made me sick, the second one was a barn burner." A local radio guy ended up in the hospital with myocarditis. It does seem like the shot marketers who claim you can expect only a sore arm are increasingly wrong (at least from my unscientific sample). I heard a professor of something or nother from Johns Hopkins say that it would make more sense to spread the shots out three or four months because it would potentially reduce side effects if an individual got their ass beat after the first one and to increase the longevity of protection. It was only his opinion, but it makes more sense than anything else I've heard lately.

A friend bought one of their side charging uppers. I was a little suspicious because it was surprisingly cheap, but the thing runs like a sewing machine. I don't think I want one, though.

Glock 48 IWB in a Comp-Tac CTAC at 8 or 9 o'clock (lefty) year round. I feel I am much better off carrying and training/practicing with one carry gun and holster.

1. Must run 2. Big enough for serious shooting, small enough to comfortably carry 3. Decent trigger 4. Decent capacity A Glock 48 with Shield magazines is about the best carry gun I have found.

I’ve all but lost interest in pro sports. “I refuse to practice because I want $20 million instead of $18 million” got old, and that was before kneeling and black anthems. My daughter’s competitive soccer team is more interesting to me than any sports on tv. We have recently gone to a couple University of Memphis womens soccer games to see how the experts do it. About 2/3 of the team is Canadian and one is from Japan and another is from Iceland. All stand at attention during the anthem. If only Americans knew how to act.

There is that

I suppose this could be chalked up to those people being exposed shortly before getting the booster. Maybe maybe not. It is interesting that two FDA big shots are resigning over disagreements about whether or not third boosters are necessary or even safe. Biden has demonstrated that he is a stubborn, pigheaded old man who refuses to change his mind or admit he is wrong. This may be his latest case of “I said we are doing it this way and nothing will change that.”

I did slightly alter the way I dress when I started carrying, but it was well worth the small effort. Different strokes for different folks and all that I guess.

Meanwhile in Wokeburg, the Commerce secretary and one of her MSNBC buddies are writing the sequel to 1984 when they claim vaccine mandates aren’t forcing anyone to do anything. https://www.msnbc.com/stephanie-ruhle/watch/commerce-sec-raimondo-vaccine-mandate-is-unquestionably-going-to-help-our-economy-120746053718

I should have been more specific--Smith & Wesson M&P 10 .308.

I’m 5’10/180 and can easily and comfortably conceal a Glock 48 or Springfield EMP IWB under just a t-shirt all day long. Usually the fat guys are the one complaining about concealing IWB.

Not saying this is you, but 95% of the OCers I see fit the Fudd category or look like they got their first gun last Wednesday. A $5 holster and they don’t seem to notice or care that someone is standing 12” behind them. I think my daughter could disarm many of them. They probably tell everybody nobody notices their gun or has ever said anything to them.

Dob’t be hatin’ on the Nashville Oilers

Need a 1-8 lpvo under $500. Looking at Athlon, Bushnell, and Primary Arms. Opinions and experience with these?

The Piperton, TN gestapo don't play when you're doing 59 in a 45. But they didn't ask if I had a gun.

If ammo availability is an issue, I would get a .350 Legend. .450 Bushmaster, 6mm Creedmoor, and .350 Legend have been available pretty much every time I go to a store ever since the stupidity started. Plus it's just a cool round. Also, I would think a Blackout would do well in an auction.

Got my tax stamp for my Omega 300 today after +/- 9 months. Also got a $176 speeding ticket on the way to the NFA guy.

What VW

Covid escalation makes 2022 mail in ballots more palatable and keeps the door open for unprecedented spending on unprecedented things.

Shut up and trust the science

They Crimson Tide fans? Just sayin

Before this is over, I wouldn’t mind releasing a few dozen cruise missiles on Xi’s presidential palace or mud hut or wherever he lives. I ignored the origin debate at first, but now I’m suspecting its release maybe was not accidental.

Thank you for the in-depth answer. I was trying to nicely ask “why should I trust you?” and I think you answered that. The left/right politics of the vaccines are irrelevant to me (other than government mandates). I have been hesitant because I don’t know and I don’t trust most who claim they do. I generally don’t like medication and take as little as is necessary. Some have called me anti-vax and that is a complete mischaracterization. I have no doubt the vaccines work to varying degrees, but have always been concerned about what will be learned about them 10 years from now. Throw in the lack of liability the drug makers politicked for and got (I get it—this needed to happen to expedite the process, but big pharm aren’t exactly angels) and the speed at which they were developed, and I don’t see how a prudent person wouldn’t have some concerns.
