    Can you imagine being locked up in a room on a cruise ship for 2 weeks? I would go crazy.

    But what happens when someone on board gets the virus? Seems the clock needs to reset back to 2 weeks. Someone is taking food etc to the passengers and could be transmitting the virus.

    I will take off my tin foil hat now...

    So getting a new lap top thought it would be easy if I kept my old laptop to use as personal. Then if I want all email work and personal to go to the new laptop I am going to have to redo all the email passwords as well as the phone, who the hell remembers passwords you just auto store that. What a huge pain in the ass.

    I don't, only time I went out of the country was with the Army; Army travel agents suck at vacation planning by the way, I do not recommend.

    Point is, why is this all of the sudden an issue? If I need a "real ID" because the government changed their needs, it should be provide, not fee based. So, I need a "real ID" to fly on a commercial airline, yet many want to get rid of voter ID....wtf.

    Hats off to you guys who have dealt with your loved ones being constantly sick. This is exhausting and stressful as hell. Rant over. Back to business. Man up.

    Real ID is not a sudden issue. This has been out there since 2005. 2008 the requirements were finalized. Congress has pushed back the drop dead date several times amid complaints from states.

    I gave $900 for mine about 14-15 years ago, had buyers remorse as soon as I walked out of the store with it. There were several other brands around half that price. Then after trying several different factory brands of ammo and realizing it threw pretty much everything into less than a 1" group, and many into a 1/2" group, I got over it pretty quickly. It wears a 6-18 VXll and that definitely helps too.
    I've always been pretty serious into archery, and then about 6-7 years ago got a major addiction to black powder sidelocks, so I bet I haven't shot my 22-250 in at least 4 years...I need to get back into calling coyotes again and break it out, miss shooting it.

    Minnesota can't get auto registration right much less real ID they are one of the lagging states.

    Hi American citizens. You are held responsible to follow the law and identify yourself in most anything serious you do. Hello illegal immigrants, you don't have to follow those same laws.

    All a person needs to do is truthfully tell the nice officer their name and address.

    And most issues would be avoided.

    That's what I always shoot down at range. It groups pretty decent out of that rifle. That's stuff was having trouble finding around here but did other day.

    These rules only apply in liberal states, cities, municipalities or where the DA is a weenie.

    I got mine as a tip on a job well done. It sat in the safe for a couple of years before I put a Swarovski 4x12 on it and started shooting it. Now it is by far one of my favs when we go out to the 500yd range. A total tackdriver. I load the heavier 77gr. or 80gr. Bc I have a 1/8th twist in the barrel. I'm not going to brag on my groupings bc you'd have to see it to believe it. I have shot the lighter grain "speed loads" but when I want speed like that I go to my 204 Ruger, it's a coyote killing machine. I bought a Howa M1500 when they first came out and if I remember correct it's about 4200fps out of the gate and I can clock a song dog at 600yrds easy.
