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.

Can we finish with effing masks now?

The risk of contracting COVID-19 indoors is the same when socially distanced 6 feet apart and 60 feet apart, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) say.

The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America earlier this month, argues that there isn’t much benefit to distancing 6 feet apart.

Professor Martin Bazant, who teaches chemical engineering and applied mathematics at MIT, told CNBC that the rule “really has no physical basis because the air a person is breathing while wearing a mask tends to rise and comes down elsewhere in the room so you’re more exposed to the average background than you are to a person at a distance.”

Actually the biggest health risk for not wearing a mask is the bloody nose somebody can get by getting in somebody’s face for not wearing a mask and accusing you of trying to kill grandma.

I use a gaiter because it is easier than the standard face diaper. But it is getting hot down here and it is annoying as hell to have an extra layer around the neck making you sweat.

.45 ACP for sale-ish, more like auction. (Update)

Still cleaning up my closets, I found 400 once-fired cases of .45 ACP in different stamps. I have not had anything in that caliber in a decade, nor planning on anytime soon and it is just wasting away.

(UPDATE: Auction-ish ends Sunday 9 pm EST)

I do need other items so I am getting rid of it here first.

As a “bonus” I will add the couple of leftover bullets I still have.

As for shipping, if I can fit all that in a USPS small flat rate box, it will be $8.45. If I have to go with medium, it jumps to $15.50. (Just checked, small box won’t be enough, sorry!)

Just send me an email with your offer: miguel AT gunfreezone DOT net.

Sorry, no first born children are accepted as form of payment, nor sacrificial virgins either.  

Antifa is coming to South Florida

This should be entertaining, specially since the Anti Riot bill is now the law. Maybe that is what they want, to test it and see if the cops have the balls to go for it.

Of course, the last time a bunch of protesters got stupid over Torch of Friendship, this happened:

In Portland, protesters taunt cops. In Miami works the other way around and cops take you down without riot gear.

 

Negligent Discharge: Bad Holstering & Bad Manipulation

I have a Sticky Holster for a micro pistol I carry sometimes when I have to step outside the house wearing the Florida Uniform (Shorts, flip-flops) and it is an exercise on being VERY careful every time I manipulate the combo.

I confess that I have used it as waist holster and I admit it did never felt safe to do so. It is a holster to carry a gun in the pocket safely because it keeps the trigger covered from outside influences. In fact you must double down by keeping only the holstered gun in that pocket and nothing else.

We live and learn from the errors of others so we improve our safety.
