Thats exactly something you hear. I also hate the word "feel" when talking about objective concepts. Saying "it seems to me" and im all ears saying "I feel like" and I dont wanna hear it unless it's followed with an actual feeling.....but thats probably not pertinent.

I think this is right. Worked with a lot of college kids and still do. Theyre very afraid of being decisive and forward, and they feel like they're being attacked if youre forward with them sometimes.

Modern problems require modern solutions

I'm wondering if anyone on here does any fly-fishing after fall and before spring. I'm considering trying the French braud, and some Norris tail waters. Any advice on what works when it's this cold? Maybe I can catch something besides frost bite

I call that my "wet locker"

Best storage solution is to just bury everything in the woods. Just ask @The Big Guy , he knows my process.

This is awful, i never knew him outside of this site, but it feels awful knowing that I, and others, won't have the opportunity. My prayers to his family.

In any event prices im sure will inevitably be higher. I dont know by how much. I hope that there is enough competition and surplus to bring prices to what they were at some point but that may never happen. I forsee more people reloading. There is an unfortunate cycle with the gun community and the manufacturers where there is panic buying and hording, then shortage, then normalization then repeat. If gun legislation gets passed then it may get even worse. Thats the other problem.... the gun/ammunition industry is one of the most heavily regulated and under political attack.

Its just a hope. I tend to expect the worst these days......

I knew the p365 had a lot of issues on launch, but striker drag on tiny pistols isn't something entirely abnormal. Im surprised at the shearing.

I just keep in mind that manufacturers want to be back selling as much as we all want to be back buying. I'm hoping that by spring we're back to moderately cheap prices and the availability is back to a greater degree of normal. Barring legal intervention, but I'm not too too worried about that.

This is a wild time to be alive

Its odd for sig to have issues with regular use for sure. Damaged pin seems to be most likely, but even at that I would think the pin wasn't quite right to just break or bend.

Did you get any striker/pin drag before this?

I'm not a fan of masks. But to prevent aerosols from your mouth getting into the air they can do a half ass job. The problem is that people will wear a mask and touch it and then touch a door knob or anything else and then touch their eye and it just gets to the point that their isn't a point to it. Youre never gonna get people to do what they have to to really help with the problem so it seems to me, in my total not-to-be-taken-serious, opinion that your best course of action is that if youre at risk of getting sick stay home. If you're sick stay home. Just gotta play this with some common sense.

I like to catch crappie November and December. I just run a grub, chartreuse or white (chartreuse if the water is muddy) and will crank deep and slow around structure. Sometimes i will find them around docks still submerged several feet in the water. When im fishing shallow ill usually run a slip bobber and let the grub drop 4 to 6 ft under, or just on the edge of visibility where they can feel safe to come out and strike. This also works great for small mouth. The most success I've had is when I keep in mind that its cold, theyre metabolism is slow and so are they. They just don't want to do fast hard strikes like when the water gets warmer in April and May. If you want to catch something big just go toss crank baits by the dam or use a live shad and you can catch big hybrid strips any time of the year. Catching smaller striped bass is best when the dog woods bloom. You can catch smaller striped bass the same way you fish for crappie. Little spoons (like road runners) are fantastic for stripes People seem to fixate on grub color too, I've found when i get into the fish the color doesn't mean anything I've swapped grubs every fish for a couple dozen fish and it didn't matter, but when I can't seem to find them or they're not super active making the grub a visible color does seem to help. Check out Bobby garland as well. I like they're baits. Check out Richard Gene. He's a great man with really good advice.

Just to piggy back on this. Don't live in the city. Commute into the city, fine, but don't live there. Most problems people run into when there is major civil unrest are a result of being crammed together with too many people. Have a plan to not be where the unrest is when the unrest is happening. If you live in a city and can't up and own a house in the country make a plan with freinds or family that do that you will be able to get out when things get bad. Best block.......don't be there. .
