Isn't just living in Ohio the same as being in an active warzone?

Nah, more of a "crabs in a bucket" situation. Nobody wants to be here. A not-insubstantial amount of the population was either dumped out the gate of the nearest military base upon retirement or is otherwise descended from those that were.

Hey now there are also Scots-Irish infesting the Appalachian segments, got some distant kin there.

If we were, the directives would have occurred after all of the shooting.

True, although I intended there to be no pause between the directives and the start of the shooting, so I think we're basically in agreement, or close to it. heh

As an Ohio resident that had 2 people pull a gun on me and someone firing off in an alley I was working in just last year alone, I'd say it's getting close.
