Re "I was amused reading about some where in the UK the dumb police were using Drones to harass people walking in the country side or on the moors some where. Oh dear, if they ever tried that in Texas I know what the outcome would be. The sound of rifle discharge would be deafening!"

Its interesting reading about the different viewpoints across the pond. I think there are a lot of people in the UK taking lockdown VERY seriously. I'm not usually one that has a great deal of sympathy for the police and I think that there have been occasions where some forces have taken a gestapo-like approach.

Looking across at your side I was amused both by the fact that the purchase of guns was deemed "an essential" and by the photos of people queuing round the block to buy guns. Whereas here we just queue to buy toilet paper!!

Hey, I've seen some nasty injuries inflicted with toilet paper mate!

Joking apart, like most things this has been exaggerated. I think the population of The Woodlands is nearly 100,000 now and there isn't a
"gun-shop" in town.

I certainly didn't go out and line up to buy one. I just took mine down, clean and oiled them and put them back.
