I'm shocked no one mentioned the two most important services... buying Hookers and selling and buying Blow. I Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||

What they don't mention is what kind of threats did the county & state make, like revoking of business license. Insisting to the ATF not to renew their FFL and whatever other permitting. CA DOJ has been contacting all firearm business' inquiring why they're running DROS checks and confirming they're allowed to be open. The stores I do know who are allowed to remain open, are carrying workwear clothing, tents/sleeping bags, freeze dried food, stoves/fuel, water filtration, etc... Basically, they're broad enough in their assortments, to remain open ALONG WITH keeping the gun counter open as well. | |||

I've been working 20 hour days since Wednesday ensuring some of our US manufacturing sites (and critical supply chain partners) are assigned "essential" status in 5 States, and *attempting* the same thing on a Federal level. All I can say, it's an uncharted path... | |||

Broward County, FL (Fort Lauderdale) just closed all non-essential businesses. However, Gun stores are considered ESSENTIAL.....surprisingly. Page 8 jj. https://www.broward.org/Corona...G5gsSa97BDLvuxE2pLlA | |||

Where I work we are deemed essential. I work in manufacturing and my plant makes plane parts for civilian and military planes and wheels for semi trucks. I, however, was deemed non essential and told to work from home. | |||

We received a letter today from Whirlpool acknowledging that we are officially an Essential Service. My 3 other positions as the chief elected official in our local government as well as firefigher and AEMT are considered essential as well. Guess I'm working. __________________________ Writing the next chapter that I've been looking forward to. | |||

Only assholes in government can have services and personnel that are not essential. How is your job not essential if you want to eat? How can any business that people depend on for their livelihood not be essential? These fucking politicians and the media have completely turned the country upside down over a virus that can't be controlled no matter what we do. | |||

I had much the same reaction when I heard the same for Michigan. "Bicycle shops???" But their reasoning is some people rely on bicycles for their transport and for exercise. Once-upon-a-time, when I was working at a place that made it reasonable to do so, I rode my bike to/from work. "America is at that awkward stage.

Kentucky statute find Firearms, Ammunition, and components of firearms and ammunition to be the most essential of all essentials. Oddly enough with our shutdown they have made no specific mention letting folks know this. It did not make the fancy spread sheet they distributed stating what will be open and what will not. They are the only items that statute specifically names that the government can not take from you during a state of emergency nor can they stop the sale, possession, or transportation of. https://apps.legislature.ky.go...tatute.aspx?id=21704

From what I've read, the essential definition applies only to RETAIL business. I haven't read too many articles on this topic, but the 2 I read did specifically say retail. Maybe that's changed, I dunno. | |||

This is in todays local paper: It's odd recreational drugs are essential now.

I support legalizing marijuana, but even I'm shaking my head trying to figure out how recreational marijuana (in California and now apparently in Washington) is an "essential service".
Sometimes it actually is the quick, easy and effective way to seal away things like viruses - as in, it's potentially easier and more affordable than a detailed cleaning (particularly with porous or absorbent surfaces). | |||

Apparently, eye exams to get a prescription for new glasses are not essential and I just deep 6'd my back up pair. I called 5 places and they are all not making appointments until mid April. Anyone have any ideas how I can -1.75 glasses so I can see to drive? Update: I found a place bucking the trend! All the other place quoted CDC requirements, BS. The CDC has offered recommendations. | |||

I'm an engineer, I work on Kidney Lithotripters and X-ray. I just got a letter proclaiming me essential. I have to print it and carry it. Most major medical facilities won't outside engineers and vendors in. So my hands are tied. I can only work on mobile equipment that can be pulled out and staged in a wharehouse or garage. It seems like most stone people are cancelling appointments anyway. I got a call for VA Beach today, I can't go because I can't reasonably get there. We have to send a laser guy that is close to work under direction. I have a call tentatively scheduled on the west coast of Florida tomorrow but the tech said they cancelled cases for 30 days and he has a fever. No way homie! The next few months for kidney stones will be interesting! ___________________________ "I Get It Now" Beth Greene | |||
