The only reason it didn't plunge when Covid hit is because most people weren't doing much anyway, so it was easy to continue doing the same. Now they are just mad about it.

I'm not surprised. Everyone leaves their computer at work, so they are only getting us 8 hrs of the day (8-5), and no extra in the early morning or late evening.

In a day away from the classroom, NC State students do hard work on wellness

There were no classes, assignments or exams at North Carolina State University on Thursday. Instead, students were encouraged to take a break, focus on their health or participate in free activities, including yoga classes, coloring, crafts, a guided walk, climbing, tea time, video games and more.

Good thing the real world is super easy! Glad they are getting prepared! Guess spring break, fall break, thanksgiving break, christmas break, summer break, and all the federal holidays off is not enough?

On a Thursday? So you gotta go back to class on Friday? That's depressing.

No classes on Thursday, back in the day I would have been drunk as a fool Wednesday night and spent most of Thursday recovering and not feeling well on wellness day.

I thought legit dealers had requirements on Iron type reinforcement on all entry points and glass fronts? Seems a little more effort in store front security might slow someone down a little.
People like this are still the best reason to keep yourself armed. They will find a way to get firearms outside of legal means. Think this is bad let all the economy, fuel, and food shit storm hit hard at once. Folks don't have any grit left in them. You can throw a conscious and doing right in hard times through the window with those thugs.

I have no idea of the security requirements for an FFL. But I do the lions share of my gun and ammo business with these guys and they have always done right by me. I read one article (maybe the one above?) that said they were beefing up the rebuild. The store was a dry cleaner before and honestly the glass door was the only real weak point. To be in and out in under 45 seconds, Id say these guys knew the place and werent total idiots.

Used to be a pawn shop / gun shop in town that was in an old bank. All his gun racks were on wheels and he rolled them in the vault at night.
