Who got tested for what? My last five COVID tests were negative, then Biden sent me four more to test myself when I want them.
I have been tested for a lot of things a lot of times. I never did get a testesterone test because I never needed one.

Mr. Scratch, man that is a rough thing to go through. I lost my father to cancer. I really miss that guy. My mother passed years later. I miss her too.
Hang in there my friend.

I have no idea. The test thing (and Mr Scratch) I could not figure out. Then I started thinking of loved ones dying of cancer. That in itself is not test it is a natural end of life.
Brought up some sad feelings about my family.
Thx…Its been not quite 10 years. The test and confidence thing is knowing that I can handle anything now. Without getting into details, it wasnt just handling her passing, it was a lot of medical things I had to do prior…packing wounds, draining chest tubes etc. That while taking care of my autistic son…Just made me feel like I can handle anything. My life is pretty much a breeze now…( my gf hates when I say that…
…lol)

Which, while it may have tested your character, has absolutely nothing to do with your statement: “like I’ve been saying, to some having a gun makes them feel more manly…”
But of course, you knew that.

What did the ad in question say? " Buy our gun, get your man card back"…They said it plain as day, advertisers know their target.

Dm I stopped carrying when I hung up my vest. I still like to go to the range but no as a real sport. My manliness did not suffer when I stopped carrying.
Now if I were in Alaskan bush where bears and other critters are stalking, I would Lwaya be armed and would not think anything of it. Girls and women are comfortable with a long arm around.

So there is your problem. You took it personally.

Some Libs seem to think that we gun owners are in doubt of our manhood if we are unarmed. They simply are incapable of understanding that gun is just a tool. When you think about it, it is their own insecurity that they are projecting.
I grew up in SE Alaska … high density brown bear country … and spent considerable time in the woods and mountains. I almost never carried a gun unless I was hunting. I didn’t start routinely bringing a gun with me in the wilds until I had children to protect. The same goes for urban settings. I’ve never carried a concealed handgun, and I don’t keep one next to my bed. The fact is, it’s something that has never concerned me. But then, 99% of violent crime here has been between people who know each other and usually involves ripping off or shooting each other over drugs or some other illegal activity. But because so many people here are armed both in public and in their homes. the bad guys pretty much stick it to each other rather than play the lottery. The police and the courts here are very sympathetic toward honest people who shoot bad guys even when self-defense is shaky and most of the bad guys know it.

A sidearm or long gun is a tool. Keep it clean keep it lubed with gun oil. Take good care of it. Don’t point it unless you intend to shoot something. I love guns, I respect them. And, at this time I do not carry.
My manhood is natural. Does not need any addition accessories than what I got at birth.
And to think some folks have sex change operations so they “feel” right.
Now don’t get me wrong I do not mind someone having one; whatever trips his or her trigger. Just don’t scream about their rights over my right to mind my own business.
Samm you live is a great state.

We have more than our share of problems and it’s not for the weak charactered, but it still a better place to live than 99% of the rest of the world.

Biden: Do you like ice cream?
Man with glasses: Yes.
Biden: Watch me eat it.
