My nephew Alex is the manager at Acme Sports in Seymour. He says that there is no problem with NICS and that they've completed over 20 firearms sales today at the shop.

My sister is a civilian who works for the government, and she flies a lot for her job -- she flew to D.C. last Sunday and returned Wednesday. I would guess that this flight ban will include her.

...heck, some of the 'cowboy calibers' have went over what they were originally intended with AR platforms, etc. ... A particular round performs the same way in a Winchester 1894 as it does in an AR-15. My muzzleloader pushes a 200-grain bullet 2500 FPS -- and that's with a light powder charge. That's better performance than a .308 Win with the same bullet weight. And with more powder and a lighter bullet, I could approach 3000 FPS. As for handguns, anything .243" and larger was legal in them long before the same calibers were allowed in rifles for deer. I have an AR-15 pistol, which is pretty much a mirror image of an AR-15 rifle, so I'm set even if it were pistol only. I much prefer bowhunting to firearms hunting, and like you, I try to finish up before firearms season opens. My best season saw a buck and five does fall to my arrow by the Thursday before the firearms opener. Where you and I differ is that I switch to a firearm when that season opens, as I like a little diversity. Being a "gun nut" doesn't help.

I saw where HB 1385 has passed both the House and the Senate and is now in conference committee. My Representative voted nay and my Senator voted yea. I sent my Representative an email asking why he opposed it. Did you ever get a reply on why he voted nay? Not a peep. My Senator used to be my Representative, and he'd always reply to my emails personally, usually within an hour or two, sometimes within five or ten minutes! I guess this new guy doesn't have the same attitude. Lol!

HB 1385 was signed by the President Pro Tempore yesterday (March 12). Can you elaborate what exactly this bill entails? iga.in.gov/legislative/2020/bills/house/1385#digest-headingIt is a bill involving various natural resources matters, but the section that I'm sure most here would be interested in is the part removing the sunset clause on high-powered rifles for deer on private ground and allowing them on a permanent basis.

I've heard of lots of farm equipment over the years getting flat tires from running over shed antlers, so it must be a fairly common occurrence.

So does anybody know then how a city or the like can pass laws banning AR's, bump stocks, handgun and the like and it's NOT considered unconstitutional? Because they always say something like, "We're not infringing on their Second Amendment rights. They can still keep their single-shot rifle or shotgun, etc. We're not disarming them."

Ask the insurance company to reconsider and if not turn it over to an attorney. The Hammer! I laughed out loud at that. LOL!

He a mechanic? We have had SEVERAL friends and relatives that have owned Jeeps. They were always replacing motors or transmissions. Not a one of them still have a Jeep. In my opinion, Jeep's biggest mistake was to discontinue the 4.0L inline six cylinder engine. Those things will do 300K miles like it's nothing. I've been driving a 1996 Jeep Cherokee to work daily for 16 1/2 years now, and it also serves as my deer hunting vehicle. The thing will be considered an antique by the state next year. Lol! It still has the original, unaltered engine and transmission. For the last 14 years, it has been driving around on a lift kit that netted 5" additional clearance between the body and axles. People always say that lifting vehicles wears out ball joints and tie rod ends, but mine is still sporting the factory original ones 24 years later. I'm still running the factory alternator as well. I've had to replace the starter and water pump. Obviously things like belt, brakes, and battery has been swapped out. It's finally beginning to show it's age, developing a small amount of body rust down low. I'd drive it to Florida tomorrow and not worry about it, and I can't say that about too many vehicles. I'm a nervous wreck even when vacationing in a 2019 rental car. Lol!

You and your wife sound like wonderful cat lovers. My wife and I are the same. We've had dozens of cats over the last 20+ years -- all either strays or shelter adoptions. And like you, we've had the dreaded FIV (feline HIV) diagnosis in the past.
Currently, we have 6 cats indoors and 1 outdoor male cat that we've slowly tamed after he showed up. We've gotten to the point where we are almost ready to get him neutered. I haven't seen him for three days, and when I did, he had an infected wound from fighting on his cheek which was swelled to the point that his right eye was closed tight.
I have been feeding a cat for two years now in the mill where I work. She was trapped as a feral kitten, spayed, and released by a coworker after she bit and clawed, never taming down. She would run away at the sight of a human, but would eventually watch me fill her food bowl from a distance. A few months ago, I finally touched her, and now she runs to greet me each morning and rubs all over me while I'm retrieving her food from a coon-proof can. She is still slightly skittish if I move quickly, and definitely hides from anyone else. She knows my voice. I feed her 7 days a week, driving 24 miles round trip each day off. She never goes a day without a meal.
On the homefront, I have a female cat that was diagnosed probably 5 months ago with bone cancer, which has completely eaten her right shoulder away. She's very thin, but still hops around and eats. She's showing no signs of pain, so we're giving her more days on this Earth until it is apparent that she is starting to suffer.

I’ll take three of them. Pretty neat really. Can’t be quiet though. Maybe we need to invent an electric one. Lol!

We stopped in at Bloomington Walmart this afternoon for groceries after watching the movie "1917". There is no longer a gun counter, nor an ammo case, so it's probably a safe bet that there were no muzzleloaders either. I had no plans to buy anything, but just swung through the sporting goods section to check for you guys. There were four ladder stands (no idea on height) for $49 each, a couple of hang-on stands for $39 each, a couple of $39 boxes containing climbing sticks, and I'm sure lots of small odds and ends that I didn't bother perusing.

This guy created his own draw lock that -- get this -- holds multiple arrows and turns it into a semi-automatic compound bow. youtu.be/NTJnyQ-bZLU(The real action begins around the 2:20 mark.) This guy's laugh cracks me up. LOL!
