Mine got held up by them sending it over to FBI for a background check. 14.5 months before it was approved.
Some people have posted they got help by contacting their Congress critter. There's probably form on your Congressman's web page.
We have problems with Lyme's and alpha gal syndrome here. I understand keeping doxycycline to use in event of tick bite is effective for Lyme's. Alpha gal is another story.
The issue with insect repellents is you have to use them correctly to be effective. Picaridin works IF you do right. Doesn't do much for mosquitoes, though. I think it's derived from black pepper or something that doesn't alarm people.

The limit on the 44 is mostly due to trajectory. 150 yards is practical. For longer range, a sporter version of whatever you use at work. .308 is never wrong.
As much as I hate opening new ones, I still like to get the CD when I buy music. Most I buy you either get a CD, maybe you can download load, but not both so I rip mp3s.
Last CD you bought? Downloads count too I guess. Oliver Anthony was last here.
Funny to me is I listen to that station via Internet. Hardly ever listen to actual radio, though I happened onto WTUF by accident the other day. Bluetooth disconnected and that was coming out of the speakers so I left it until we traveled out of range.
