I grew up in NY and view MD the same. Last one to leave, turn out the lights.
Happiness is seeing NY/MD in your rear view mirror.

Been in TX since 1977. When I meet new people here, I'm hesitant to tell them I grew up in NY. IF I do, I qualify it by telling them I got here as quick as I could.

I was talking with a friend who is a behavioral health professional at one of our big hospitals over the weekend. She says the updated red flag law is worse than ineffective because people will not speak candidly with their providers out of fear of having their guns seized. They made the mental health aspect worse! They are stupid or evil or both.

The crazy left is a mental health problem so much decay in progressive areas .the plan is to make all of us serfs.

All I can say is, Be extremely careful with what you talk to your doctor about, especially if you're on Medicare. I recently started on Medicare and got a notification that I was eligible for my free annual wellness check. When I went in to have my annual physical, I asked my doctor about this thinking it was about my physical. I was surprised when she told me the wellness check was actually a mandated set of questions about your mental health that they have to report to Medicare on, things like, are you depressed, are you having any thoughts of committing suicide, are you experiencing any anxiety etc.

On the surface these seem fairly benign until you put it in the context of being a gun owner who's aware of the red flag laws and its big brother mandating these questions to be asked & reported on. Be careful, it's a mine field out there.

I'm a Colorado native and it pains me deeply to see what my beloved state has become. Colorado is lost, the blue island of the front range outvotes the entire rest of the state & it's never going back to even being purple, let alone red. We now have four new gun laws, but we temporarily dodged the bullet on an outright so-called assault weapons ban, not to worry the grabbers will be back at next year.

Participating on the questionnaire is not obligatory. Says so right on the form.

Comrade why would you not answer such harmless questions? Just be careful what and how you answer them.

Strange. Not the case here where the hard right is removing child labor laws so they can get those slaughter houses filled with cheap labor. And installing lots of corporate protection while removing worker and citizen projections. Kind of exactly the opposite. But it's just Iowa where everything is upside down apparently.

I go to the VA for most of my medical care but I do go to a Medicare doctor once a year half-way between my primary care visits at the VA. When I visit him he does ask about guns - what I'm shooting, where I'm shooting, etc. He's primarily a pistol shooter and shoots 1,000 to 2,000 rounds a month. We have the right kind of discussion about guns.

The main reason I started going to him is that the VA won't do "outside" work so I have to have a doctor outside the VA to do the Basic Med physical I need to fly the Cessna 172 I'm a part owner of.

Hmmm. Just the balanced assessment we’ve come to expect from you Brent. Here’s some detail in the Guardian. Hardly a mouthpiece for the Right.

No wonder it’s hard to take Leftists seriously when this bill gets compared to slavery. I started working longer than 4 hours for pay before I was 16 and your age limits for alcohol are insane to say the least. It’s like you’ve designed them to encourage binge drinking at college. So I see nothing wrong with young adults serving booze as part of a training program.

And what does any of that have to do with encroaching gun laws? There is a case to be made that mc’s post was still related to the thread topic. But not yours.

cb, as you usual, you know not what you are talking about. But carry on. It is entertaining.
