I'm 68 with a body going on 90 and an attitude going on 20. I look back and lament on what I would have done differently had I'd known what and where I am today with the country and world as it is now. I wish par-cor was a "thing" then because I would have been all over that considering my...

Howdy Fundy; what part of Bama ?

The problem we've had is health insurance. Glo retired from a state/university agency ( IL ST Geological Survey ) and the insurance is so very good it is cost prohibitive for us to move out of IL and get anywhere the same coverage. A few bucks copay for doctor/specialist visit, good script tier...

You have no idea how much I want to see IL in the rearview mirror. Texas sounds good this time of year. Glo turns 65 this year and goes on Medicare so maybe we can work something out with health insurance. I figure with the lower taxes and cost of living i.e. property prices we could do well.

Ah, but not in Illinois, really. One of the shoot/don't shoot scenarios on the TI simulator was a guy going to punch you out. In IL getting punched does not constitute fear of great bodily harm or death. Hey, this IS after all the state that fails to prosecute gangstas in Chicago for repeat...

What it boils down to is in IL deadly force may not be used to protect property. "Required fear" is left for the home owner to convince the cops and State's Attorney. If I have to drop a BG in my home, trust me, they had a weapon and I was in fear of my or my wife's life. Glad I took the courses...

This was my baby, '65 Dart GT, 273 w/solid lifters

That would put you in the required fear. My ex biz partner was a cop and I took some courses at PTI ( Police Training Institute ) instructed by LEOs.

In Illinois we may not/shall not use deadly force just because someone illegally entered my home. Have to show I was in real fear of death or great bodily harm.

In a SHTF scenario a drone could come in handy to monitor your area. Correct me if wrong but wasn't there a Fed court case of a guy shooting down a drone that was above the legal minimum ?

48 years back I had a Shepherd Elkhound mix named Stash who got into mine ( 1 oz ) and ate all but stems and seeds. He was one stoned dog and funny as all get out. I was much more careful after that.

And those who don't know the weapons, procedures, and ranks ( like uncovered Marines saluting indoors or a Navy Lt. is O3 and Navy Captain is O6 )
