Cooper gonna shut it down

Federal = "essential business"
North Carolina = gun shops specifically listed in FAQ and outdoor ranges are "outdoor activity"
county/local = ???
I would think that state preemption is in play when it comes to state/county/local discrepancies around firearms laws.

Can the lawn guys still mow?
Im not a pro, but did mine and 4 others yesterday with no hassle, I did get a ear full from a Karen at the gas station when I filled up my truck and 4 gas cans.
Apparently I’m a gas hoarder, the mowers and yard equipment in the back of the truck didn’t signal a legit need in her world...

PLEASE tell us you told her to have a nice, piping hot cuppa STFU with a side order of mind-your-own-business-from-6-feet-away!

And did you use the word "Karen" when you did?

I tipped my hat and said ‘well, bless your heart, sorry you feel that way” and tried to go back to pumping my gas. But she started up again saying “oh she knew was it meant when Southerners said well bless your heart”, and I said something like “well then Karen stfu already” paraphrasing. She said that wasn’t her name and harrumphed getting back in her car and left... All you can do is laugh and shake your head. I’ve been thinking about getting a wearable go pro so I can record the stuff.

If you want to entertainment from the Karens sign up for Nextdoor (it's like a local Facebook) where they all seem to congregate to yell at virtual clouds. One was on my local board yesterday bitching about the deer and wanting to dart and relocate them. It was every bit of restraint I had to not school her on how legalizing hunting them would result in feeding both myself and the homeless.

You really want to stir the shit ... I drove my son’s ‘70 C-10 with gas cans (but I only had 2 can that needed to be filled) that runs a 3” exhaust through Magnaflow Straight-Thru’s. I swear I’m mounting an old school gun rack if I can find it in the attic and strapping on a full size 1911 open carry leather holster next trip. If I’m going to offend I’m going to do it all out with style :D

You're my hero for the day!

Actual state law preempts Cooper's order. Otherwise, Cooper's order is the floor, but the sky is the limit for locals setting additional restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions for North Carolina’s Stay At Home Order
Various local counties and cities have issued their own shelter in place orders. How do the state and local orders correlate with one another?
People in North Carolina must abide by this statewide Order. To the extent that a local order contains more restrictive requirements, the more restrictive local Order must be followed.

I want a truck so i can ride around with AR pistols...
Not any trip where I plan on leaving the vehicle unattended though, obviously. not in this day and age.
 
This triggered an Uneasy Rider moment (Charlie Daniels Band)!! Did all the hair spill out from underneath? :D

PS public service link:


Hahahaha!
Naw, I am not Charlie Daniels band cool, slicked back top and high and tight on the sides and back.

Can you wipe your butt with gas? If so I might want to work out a trade!

yes for political cultural and economic reasons. I wouldn’t be hear during a pandemic for no reason. If I was buggin out legit from up north with no plan I would be heading to Wyoming or something lol.

I understand your comment....but the reality is you re probably better off here. If you read the articles about folks “headed” to places for social distancing and safety and such, the unless you had a refuge in Wyoming that had a 4-6 month supply of everything, then I would reconsider.

There is an article about several National Parks closing. Over the years prior to purchasing our motor home, we flew out west and camped and traveled in the national parks. Our count is in the 40’s and also about 20 national monuments. Arches, in Utah comes to mind, it is desolate. Probably smaller than Boone. Most of the residents are NP employees or service employees for the restaurants and hotels and such. There ain’t no good health care facilities....with only 2 ventilators.

Even with the park, partially closed and the visitor centers and such shut down....they were getting 700 cars per day. That equates to about 2000 or so, daily spreaders of the disease trying to escape or relieve stress or whatever. There is a complex for the “Hike to Delicate Arch”. It fills up around 7:00 anyway. I doubt it could handle the 700 cars. Then everyone hits the trail....

Certainly not knocking or questioning your intent. I wish I was on a remote island on the outer banks in my motor home with a trailer full of food and 2000 watts (real...not advertised) of solar panels and about 18 deep cycle 6 volt batteries. But, then, I would need water as I can’t tote but 150 gallons.

I’m self imposed in seclusion. DW made a 6:00 run to Harris Teeter this morning and we have food for 6 more weeks, save milk. That was in Cary and there were 40 cars in the lot, but she maintained distances and did not have to wear her mask, They had many lines open. We quarantined everything but cleaned or wiped down the packages fo the fridge and freezer. Her 6 year old V6 Caddy dropped a cylinder yesterday. We dropped it off. What is my Yukon, which I flat tow did the same in Wyoming on my complex?

just sayin’. But reality is, NC is ahead of the curve and we can stay put until June....
 
I figure outside of some grandstanding cops, this is mostly a gentleman's agreement. Yes they could be stupid, but they are planning on most just going along with it.
 
In Virginia, Gov Northem issued a stay at home through June 10. That will shut down lots of bureau-rats.
Dumb-ass mo-fo ... and we think we got it bad with Cooper. June 10th ... that over 6 weeks past most any other order local, state or federal. What’s next shoot on sight orders? Or maybe martial law with full out gun confiscation?

Daughter just reported that CMPD is stopping cars to ask people where they are going. She got it from her neighbor, who is a working nurse.

And what I wouldn’t give to be able to rub a little jalapeño pepper under my nose to give me the sniffles and likely make my eyes red and teary so I could look at him and say “I’m feeling real bad and trying to get back home to wait for the results of my COVID-19 test” then cough a little.
