Gun Free Zone

With all the material, I forgot to say that I was given the test for the effing virus. I hated to be part of the statistics specially when it involves stabbing the inside of your eyeball through the nose.

Florida’s testing numbers as of today. I am in the green part.

Before anything else, I have to say that the medical personnel that took care of me in Big Hospital were 99% the nicest and most caring of people and I felt i had the best of care from them. With that being said, I need to bring something that has me wondering the amount of mistakes that are happening in hospitals everywhere because of the “precautions” against transmission of the Wuhan virus. One thing is to hear on the news all the procedures that hospitals took for the pandemic. The other thing is to actually go through them, live and uncensored.

The missus took me to the ER and she had already warned me that she would not be allowed in with me like in other times.  I walked in and announced to Reception Nurse I believe I was having a mild cardiac event.  You’d think this would ring a bell or two other than one question  (“what are you feeling?” ) and more in the realm of “OK, get you masked ass in here for initial diagnosis.” Nope, I was subjected to the new game in town: “Covid 20 questions or please follow this stupid protocol at the risk of your life.”  It was not until Clipboard Nurse had all the appropriate boxes marked, I was finally started to get the ER care you expect to get in possible heart cases.

And now comes the thing that really bothers me: the masks. I am guessing some medical personnel might have been in the “At-Risk” category, but wearing a chin diaper, a mask with those double filters and a Home Depot face shield at the same time makes your effing speech difficult to comprehend!

I ended up having to say I was hard of hearing to some of the people wearing these combos so they would speak louder, and mind you, some of them were Latinos who are supposed to be loud to begin with. One imaging doctor ended up telling his young assistant to tell me what was going to happen after me complaining I could not understand & the kid went to task making me smile under my own mask

Now I have to wonder how many dumb mistakes have been committed because the transmission went out garbled? Either Medical People to Medical people or Medical people to patient, you know some stuff did not made it through and possibly end up hurting or killing somebody. And as Gun People, you know damn well that Medical Malpractice deaths were horribly high prior to the pandemic. It will be interesting to know what will the numbers reflect next year.

I got a bunch of instructions and recommendations on the way out which I intend to read with care and review with my primary doctor soon. I already contacted him about what happened so he can access all the reports and you can bet your ass I will be reviewing everything with him just to be 100% sure.

And to end funny note: I obviously ate hospital food these past 2 days (I actually lost 4 pounds) and one of the prescriptions I got was for a laxative. Coincidence? I think not!

You remember this video from a previous post?

in my very IANAL opinion, almost anything used as a projectile that has the capability to break windows, also has the capability to produce death or grave bodily harm. And it could be a rock, a brick or a Molotov cocktail coming though the busted window. Do I need to wait for the flames in my living room to legally defend my family?

We are faced again with “what is the law in your State and what will your local DA will do”  if you are forced to used deadly force by the “mostly peaceful protectors.”

In some Jurisdictions, Jose Jamal Odinson can get away with this behavior with a slap on the wrist and a free picture while you end up in jail if you place the red dot on his chest without even pulling the trigger.

This is the most insidious form of Gun Control and its most effective.

Three weeks ago we covered the recovery of a cheap gun probably over half a century old  and today reader Roy K alerts me of another archeological find by the NYPD.

It is another Harrington and Richardson and I could not find the exact model. I want to say it is a 1905, but I am far from being an expert. Let me know in the comments if you can nail it down.

At least we have another gun that might be between 75 and 115 years old still roaming the streets of New York City. The Sullivan Act, premier Gun Control Gun Law and still active in New York City came out in 1,911 which demonstrates well over a century of gun control failure with hard evidence .

PS: I thought that Roy K was the one passing me the info, but he corrected me. And I have to apologize to whomever sent me the tweet because I can’t find you and credit you with the discovery.

Mostly peaceful Antifa/BLM at it once again in Wisconsin.

The more things change…

Tuesday morning, I was not feeling well. There was a little discomfort in my chest that I have associated in the past with my usual  GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease) but this time I also felt something unspecific my left arm and that was a bit weird. That was not a nice combo of signals and I am heard way too many times the “It did not think it was a heart attack” only to be proven wrong later on by a lights and sirens trip to the ER or a silent one to the morgue.

So I chewed on an aspirin was taken to the ER by the not-very-happy missus and placed myself in the hands of the medical community. That is something that scares me somewhat, but what can be done?

Good news: After one full day of tests and going through imagining devices plus an overnight of observation with a bunch of cables attached to what looked like a first generation Walkman, I was pronounced clear from my initial fears. Cardiac enzymes indicated no heart attack,  and cat scans with iodine crap also failed to find anything of importance and so did the echo sonogram.

Basically I ended up having what will be billed a very expensive Cardiology check up. Don’t mind me much, I am very much happy I will still remain among all of you and bothering you on a regular basis.
