    Crappy song? Oh my. I challenge you to a guitar dual, followed by bullseye at 15 yards with pistol and 25 yards with PCC. No one disses Joe Walsh. Your membership card in the James Gang fan club is now pending the outcome. Oh, and get your wheels out. We may feel the need for speed after...

    No guitars unless they're to be used as bludgeons.

    I have one pistol (beware the man with only one gun), can do.

    PCCs, 25 yds sounds too easy. I start mine at 50 yds, then move out to 100. Don't believe me, there are several members who will verify that boast. :D

    As for the Eagles. There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who think the Eagles we're the greatest band since the Beatles, and then there are normal people.

    Love to do some shooting with you brah. Hopefully we can get together this spring or summer. :party29:

    Roger that. I told the wife, she finds me bleeding and I don't stop, just let me bleed out. I'm ready to see what comes next. Gotta be better than eternity in ER.

    I hear ya. It does suck. About the only time it didn't suck is when I brought my Grandfather in when he was down here over Thanksgiving. I took him to the hospital I had just finished up a clinical rotation at so I knew all the folks in the ER.

    Not that it helped any, but, at least I had people to talk to while we waited :lol2:

    I was told many years ago, if you have to go to the ER, the only way is by ambulance. That way at least you get evaluated and hopefully into a room quicker than a walk in.

    What I've heard... Is to mention that you are also experiencing chest pain. Tends to move you to the front of the line.

    You bet, and if we can use optics then I'm good at 50 or 100--old eyes struggle beyond 25 with the irons. And we'll take the Mustang. Needs an elusive MDS sticker though...

    Red dots all the way for me on my carbines and SBRs.

    Talk to HRDWRK for stickers if he's still running them. :thumbsup:

    A past head injury sure does explain a lot. :innocent0

    Just my two cents. Don't post a lot but I'm on here pretty much every day reading. Donate my time and money to MSI to work events and have even done the Patriot Picket walk.But I'll bet most of you have no idea who I am yet I daily follow your discussions about crazy restrictions that are thrown at law abiding, gun owning citizens. Most of the time I have nothing to add to the conversation, someone else has already said it for me. So I'm going to sit back, drink my coffee and continue to learn something new ,like I do every other day. Stay safe my friends.

    Been doing this same thing since joining myself. But still don't have much to add. You already put it so eloquently.

    This might have used to work but if you complain of chest pain you'll get an EKG to verify. Then you'll get stuck in the waiting room, just like the people that EMS pushes out there in wheelchairs after the extremely expensive ambo ride. Then your just wasting resources.

    Triage is really good at weeding out BS.

    If you are actively leaking when you go to the ER is seems to speed things up.

    Yes, that does seem to speed up their response time. The red stuff seems to work the best.

    When my son hemorrhaged during the night, after having his tonsils removed, they couldn't get to him fast enough. I gotta say, I thought we were going to lose him that night. The amount of blood he was vomiting was outrageous. We were cleaning blood up for days. When we thought we had it all, we'd move something and there was more blood.

    Not so much. Triage will just plug you up in the waiting room. I remember an ER trip after a fight in HS(I won :D) and my head was split open. I was holding a towel to my head but the blood 2as dripping down my arm and off my elbow onto the floor. No urgency to get me seen. They just put a mat on the floor where the blood was and gave me new towels to put on my head.

    Now if something is partially severed and hanging they MIGHT speed things up a bit...
