Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

Senator McCain

Yes, he is Top RINO and Country Club Republican who does not stand for the Republic or the Constitution.

No, there will be no celebration or amusement in this blog about his brain cancer.

We are not George Clooney.

 

A Narcan controversy.

This is something that is going on across the book of faces and mostly from cops and I sincerely do not get.

Narcan nasal is not a difficult medicine to use. It is not expensive and I do believe that any cop who wishes to carry it for life-saving duties, should do so.  A five-minute trip around Youtube shows that the application of the “Emergency opioid antagonist” as it is called in the Florida Statutes is as difficult as using a nose spray for the cold… because it is a nose spray.

I had a great exchange with Andrew Branca who opposes cops having Narcan. He points out that it is a potential lawsuit against the agency and therefore a waste of taxpayers’ money. Although I agree that anybody can bring a lawsuit against anybody or any department, the “Emergency opioid antagonist” laws offer a wide protection and the lawsuits would not proceed, specially if the state has a way to force the asshole to pay for court and lawyer’s costs.

A lot of cops are carrying Individual First Aid Kits and tourniquets without “official training” and department approval. These are life-saving devices same as the Narcan and if the excuse is that they would only used the IFAK and/or tourniquet on themselves of a fellow officer, the same can be said for Narcan after it is already a thing for officers to be accidentally exposed to Fentanyl like in Ohio and in Pennsylvania and two officers in West Virginia. And here in Miami, we learned about the sad death of a 10-year-old boy, and I doubt very much any cop would not mind standing doing nothing and watching an innocent kid die because they don’t wanna carry Narcan out of some misguided principle.

Again, I do believe on voluntary carry only (for both cops and civilians) and hopefully in a state like Florida that has a damned good Great Samaritan law and backed up with a Narcan Law.

If you agree or disagree, please expand in the comments. Do remember to keep it civil.

 

Hialeah, Florida. It is a whole ‘nother country.

Full of Cubans and other species from the Latin American fauna but very peaceful for the most part, specially if you don’t mind Salsa played loud till the wee hours on the weekends.

But as with always, there is that one guy that screws it up

(Click here for a Low Res version in Youtube)

He don’t like AT&T much. And truth be told, their service sucks, but not to that extreme.

PS: If you shoot revolvers, this shows why you need speedloaders,

Moms Demand dabbing on Fake News.

Here is the interesting part: It seems that it was just a threat. No gun was present.

From another source:

Around 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 8, Los Alamos Police Department Cpl. Jemuel Montoya was dispatched to Rigoberto’s Taco Shop for a male individual that was being loud and disorderly. Montoya arrived on the scene and found Deines at the counter being argumentative with workers behind the counter. While standing next to Deines, Montoya said he noticed a strong scent of liquor emitting from his person. Deines began to be aggressive with the workers, making the patrons very uncomfortable. When Montoya moved closer, Deines noticed the police officer and reportedly said, “Oh, it’s come to this.”Montoya spoke with Deines outside the restaurant to get a sense of the situation. Apparently, Deine’s food order was wrong and the restaurant employees would not change it.Montoya spoke with one of the employees, who told the officer that Deines threatened to retrieve a gun out of his car if he did not get what he wanted.

Now, if the guy had a gun, would Corporal Montoya be so calm about and arresting the guy after talking to him? We know better.

But for Moms Demand, now saying the word gun in a threatening manner is as bad as Sandy Hook as long as they can make riveting headlines.

PS: The answer to their question is yes. 

This is why we can’t have nice things. The Open Carry Division.

You figure somebody has all The Matrix DVDs.

Well, sure as shit he can’t carry concealed with that get up. But couldn’t at least get some sort of retention holster? Maybe he could not afford it because he spent the money on the 30 round mag and he is still making payments on the tats.
