I used to shoot shotguns a bit as a teen on a friend's farm.

@Patrick - going through a safety course is regardless a good idea. I grew up around guns as a kid, but I'd still recommend a safety course.

My grandfather was a hunter. I was conditioned to think that a gun is always loaded, is always about to go off by accident, and anything I point at will be shot. I have been conditioned to the point that I'm uncomfortable pointing a toy gun at a person and that's a good thing.

Go to a shooting range. A LOT are closed because of this "pandemic"... Take your wife with you. I suspect I know how she thinks, that harming somebody and even possibly killing them is disgustingly repulsive to her. That is not how a criminal thinks. If she had to shoot and kill a possibly violent criminal, she's doing society a favor and I understand she would probably view this as repulsive thinking. It's just the world as it is.

Your wife will VERY likely enjoy shooting, once she does it. She has to stop thinking "this kills people" and start thinking "this is powerful, but I won't abuse that power".

Airguns I think are entirely unregulated I believe in all of the United States. Airguns aren't toys either, they are still used as a sniper's weapon. I don't know if they can be charged indefinitely though, but I DO know, they can easily kill a human being. Fully automatic airguns exist. They have lower muzzle velocity so range is more limited, but I don't think you're looking for long range.

Airguns are also quieter - but they aren't quiet. If you shot a .44 magnum without ear protection, you'd be deaf for a minimum of several minutes. That's not good in a dangerous situation.

Yes, I'll do that. Thanks.

Good point. That's quite a dilemma. I remember with the guns we used back then that it was like switching off your hearing and replacing it with a loud ringing sound for a while. Not sure what to do about that in an emergency situation. Might not have time to find and put on ear protection at that moment, and it would also weaken your ability to hear what's going on.

Some people say that a 0.22 is better to use in a situation. Not as likely to kill, but it sure hurts. When I was a kid a 0.22 wouldn't leave me deaf, but that was 40 years ago.

You don't have to kill, you have to stop, and people can work through pain, in that event, you have to possibly kill.

You're no fun at all.

A weapon is a serious thing, and anybody that wields one should understand that. It's deadly serious, literally and figuratively.

Remember when Oscar Pistorius killed his girlfriend by shooting her when she was locked in the bathroom? He most likely did that in rage, after an argument. He was just very angry, and didn't really consider the consequences of his actions.

Treat a gun like a bomb. It may not just kill another person, once it kills that person, it might very well kill you. Pistorius is likely to die in poverty. He destroyed his life with that killing over what was most likely some goddamned argument. I'm sure he regrets what he did, but he ended a life. Fuck him.

I strongly believe in the 2nd amendment, but it's quite a power to be able to take a life. You better be sane to own such a weapon. Pistorius I think had a mental break for a few minutes. You can't do that if you have such a weapon.

Meta analysis using the most serious outcome reported shows 72% [55‑82%] and 86% [75‑92%] improvement for early treatment and prophylaxis, with similar results after exclusion based sensitivity analysis and restriction to peer-reviewed studies or Randomized Controlled Trials.

Now Dr. Madejski, who has treated Glenna for fourteen years, prescribed a full course of Ivermectin to complete the treatment, and was denied. The ICU doctors and Rochester General refused to administer the medication because Ivermectin isn’t approved to treat COVID-19 by the FDA (the budget of which, as it happens, is 75 percent funded by big pharmaceutical companies). Another state supreme court judge, relying on the science provided by Pierre Kory and the FLCCC, ordered the hospital to dispense a handful more of the pills, per the doctor’s script, and Glenna got off the ventilator and is now home, cured of COVID-19.

So pharmacies are all now requiring dx codes for IVM. Wont fill if c19 related. Naturally if you are concerned about use of veterinary products, what you want to do is aggressively cut off human grade use under medical supervision. This sort of strategy has always worked out well
