And oh by the way.... Crabbers are the most anti sociable folks I know, so go figure.

[RagWeedDWC]

Unless you can produce a commercial license (Not just the tag on the boat....) they have closed all. Crabbers are going nuts, and local guides (Many I admit are not fully licensed.
Some of the old timers who have homes on the water are opening up their docks for boats, but leaving your boat in salt water for a spell is not good …
People ruined it, packing up on the sandbars and partying had the facebook gossip groups blowing a left one bitching about it. I understand the need for social distancing, but try to make a living on the water when your best season is blocked off. Need some wiggle room...

Bowhunterwoody so does my brother in law he works for sporting goods chain. He's a asst. manager and his specialty area is the hunting end. I think my sister told me they've finally cut back his hrs. and their store hrs. crazy busy.

They better not shut our f-ckin, boat ramps down,

[ChefSheri]

Hey, GB, I read it just for "the proclivity to vomit myself to death . . ." Keep on with your stoney posts; some days they're the best laugh I'm gonna get!

Well that gov order was rescinded in a hurry, liquor stores are now considered essential. Its kind of like the dispensary's in legal states. Cleaning a putting away all except essential guns :-)

[Bowhunterwoody]

Funny, I work for a big box gun shop so still working. Plus I have my packy on speed dial.

[GreenState]

Bowhunterwoody and you don't? (lol) (maybe I should start a "show your preferred personal protection" thread)

In CT they consider package stores and gun shops essential.

[RagWeedDWC]

Have not broken into our hurricane locker yet (Except for tp, only to learn it was sandpaper in disguise), but its getting close. Hopefully if I have to break into it, then will need time to replenish it before the season starts.
They are shutting down all non essential business here, including all the boat ramps and landings. Unless you have a private dock or a commercial license you will not be on the water.

But the real issue, one that has people breaking into their gun safes, ………. They are closing the liquor stores today...… Standby for gunfire.

They just said to expect 240,000 deaths in the USA, I wish my state was taking this seriously! I have to go out in a few days, what I buy will certainly be changed. I see things getting much worse before they get any better, so canned goods, dry goods stuff that will keep without refrigeration, and IF I can a 2 - 3 month supply of it! I am going to stay away from others!
And its bad weather season, I know there has been twisters east of me, I dont know if those folks are getting help! The rainy/stormy season is about to kick off, and many are going to be flooded and or devastated, what happens then, what do we do help or not help? Sorry your sick we dont want your cudies! Can we get other stories "In the news"!

Starramus Ive served in the Marine Corps and I dont trust our government as far as I can throw them , I have traveled the globe and I can say that this is the best country in the world ,as a people ,as a place ,we have our issues like crooked greedy politicians, but on a whole we do better than most

as far a ventilators go why would you carry more than you can use and the hospitals had what they needed for normal usage ,THIS is not normal ,the ventilators that were stored by the government have all been issued , we are in lock-down not so we can not catch it,but to slow it down long enough to get the ventilators we need so millions can be saved .
Greed is a human condition I'm a very generous person but I have been greedy at times we all have

Remember this isn't about politics its about survival , I am planning on posting free tilling to the neighborhood so people have a chance to grow food so they have something to fall back on when the food shortages happen , People need to look at the big picture and learn there is no I in we and we as a people will overcome covid-19 . when we were attacked and forced to enter a war we didnt want in 1941 ,we focused our attention on arming ourselves ,it took a period of time but we overcame This will be the same in a couple of months there will be some many ventilators we will be tripping over them , We just need to survive until they come in .

So instead of pissing and moaning about shit ask what you can do for your neighborhood ,not the world just your neighborhood
