Any fans of “The Bachelor”?

Bachelor’s Colton Underwood Tested Positive for Coronavirus: ‘I'm Exhausted’

Bachelor star Colton Underwood has tested positive for the new coronavirus, he said Friday, and urged younger adults to take the virus seriously.

Underwood, 28, said that he started experiencing symptoms a few days earlier.

“I want to let you guys know: I’m 28, I consider myself pretty healthy, I work out regularly, I eat healthy, and I became symptomatic a few days ago, got my test results back today, and they are positive,” he said in an Instagram video.

The reality star said the virus, officially named COVID-19, has been draining.

Speaking of which, certain 'authorities' in the SF Bay Area have taken it upon themselves to 'pick winners' in this shut down; have determined gun shops are 'non essential' and have ordered them closed. I expect this will spread among the localities.

It won't take much to drive them out of business, a goal of the leftists for years.

Others may disagree, but this is pretty clearly a canary in the coal mine.
Not sure how crazy the laws are there, and they may require some sort of paperwork over ammo, but I have a feeling back alley ammo sales may pick up there.

CA ammo purchases now require a Certificate of Eligibility issued by the AG and a birth certificate. And I think you are right about the black market.

A question or two:

It seems like many of those who are becoming severely ill and dying are doing so from contracting pneumonia as a "side-result" of the ChinaVirus.

Will having had a "pneumonia shot" (vaccine? supposed good for 7 years) in the past offer any protection against this?

Anyone have any idea?

I believe the "pneumonia shot" is primarily for protection from pneumonia caused by bacteria. This is viral. Your immune system flooding your lungs with liquid trying to fight the virus is what kills you. Not a secondary infection from what I understand.

That's the back door registration aspect. I have found it prudent perhaps to have a bolt or lever action in every semi-auto rifle caliber. Pistol ammo is limited to the wheel guns, though. not many bolt or lever actions in .45 ACP or 9mm. That's still cash on the barrel head, 250-500 rounds at a time. If drilling picks back up there may be a Dillon in my future. I have components, too.

Yeah but we gotta be careful. CA agents have been known to take down numbers of CA plates on cars parked at places like Cabelas in Reno and calling them ahead to CHP across the state line. Guys have been stopped and cited for bringing ammo back home this way.

I got a bunch of 5.56 at a gun show where I was working a table for a guy running for Senator.  Just picked it up off the table and took it home.

I'd love one of those, but it would take one of these to feed it:

It is a curfew!  24 hours a day, $1,000 fine in California.  Unless you're making a pot run, that's essential.  That means you'd better have pot in the car if you ever get stopped for driving.  This is said without a hint of sarcasm.
