Gun Free Zone

I had been mulling about getting some vaccinations  and after talking to a nurse with the insurance company, I headed for Wally World to get Flu, TDap and Shingles. Since I was in the pharmacy area, I did a quick check on the alcohol and found it all gone. Strangely, Peroxide was in full force. I did a quick run by the household cleaners and the bleach was also gone.

A couple or three weeks ago I was doing some cleaning with bleach outside and I ran out the regular bottled bleach. I am an addict and use it in anything that requires cleaning and can survive the use (nothing cleans the shower stall better than bleach, but open all windows) and it ticked me off to constantly run out of it.

So after some research I decided to make my own and bought me a pound of Calcium Hypochlorite in Ebay for $11.  Supposedly I cam make 400 gallons of cleaning solution or treat up to 10,000 gallons of water.

With the stock of alcohol and peroxide we already have, I figure we can stay disinfected without much problem.

People are openly ROBBING businesses in California.

Thanks to Prop 47, offenders who commit crimes like this will only receive a citation.

Prop 47 includes citations for Shoplifting, where the value of property stolen does not exceed $950. No jail time because it is not “human” according to those who pushed the initiative and Californians bought it line, hook and sinker.

The same city, county and state that allows a business to be ransacked like that, is expecting for said business to pay taxes and fees promptly or else get a nasty jail sentence for failing to add to the public coffers, the same public who voted to allow criminals to bankrupt him/her.

The CDC recommends you use a tissue or even your sleeved arm to stop the contents of a cough. I say we need to go back to basics and carry an old proven method of containment: The hanky.

When I was a child, I was not allowed to leave the house unless I had a spotless white handkerchief in the right rear pocket of my pants. Mom would even throw a back up in my book bag inside a plastic bag “just in case” one was not enough or the original got used or lost.  If it was not used, it would go back in my pants the next day or if used, it went to the dirty clothes basket.

This was not an affectation. Back in the 1960s we were still dealing with Tuberculosis and it was drilled into out heads never to cough freely but to cover our mouths to prevent transmission. The handkerchief being white was to see if any blood would come out the lungs indicating some serious condition.

As civilization managed to push back on TB and other diseases, the use of handkerchief fell into the bin of the old stuff to be forgotten.  I also rebelled for a while, but I am cursed with over productive sweat glands and I may end up looking like Ted Striker in “Airplane.”

I did not like the old whit handkerchiefs, but when I came to the US in my 20s, I discovered the bandana and I carry at least one with me but more likely two.  I did a small post about bandanas being the cheapest EDC item and one with the most uses some time ago and still stands true.

Short of carrying a mask all the times, using a bandana to cover yourself when coughing is the best in terms of fast deployment and containing the cough by-products.  Push comes to a shove, you can use the bandana as rudimentary mask in case others are the ones spraying.

Bandanas run about a buck each or less most everywhere including Amazon and EBay with free shipping. I usually give them a couple of washes before suing them to get them soft.

But if you like handkerchiefs, go for it too. The idea is not fashion but health.

Michael Bloomberg panders hard on Super Tuesday, “correcting” a reporter to pronounce Texas as “Tejas” because “you’re in a Cuban neighborhood.

MRCTV

Bloomberg was in Miami when he said that which shows that for him all Brown People look and sound the same: Wearing a big sombrero, a sarape and taking naps half the afternoon.
Dear Nasty Little Fascist, be advised that in South Florida when you say “tejas” we immediately go to the clay roofing tile which is part of our heritage going back to the Spanish colonizers.  You see a lot of historical houses in Coral Gables fully roofed with “tejas.”

Bloomberg trying to appear woke and sensitive to minorities, only managed to show he has no frigging idea of people who are not within his NY Rich and Famous circle.

Bearing Arms reported on the bill CS/HB HB 1437 and some folks in the comments had an issue trying to grasp what it means and fixes.  Florida law is inflexible (so far) about carrying in School and at the same time allows you to carry in you place of worship.

The problem is when both are combined in the same property. So far nothing has happened (probably there were a couple of events that we did not hear about and were kept under wraps) but eventually we are going to have to deal with an otherwise Law Abiding Citizen caught carrying in Church that has a school in the property which is verbotten.

Here is a perfect example: Even though you are supposed to legally carry in church, you cannot even step on the property because there is also a school in it That big fat square of land is legally a Gun Free Zone. And this is a very common combination wherever you have a concentration of Catholics such as South Florida.

The bill will allow you to go to Mass or Temple or Mosque or Church and return home duly and legally armed even if it is school property.

It looks like this device sold in Amazon:  Orbit 62100 Yard Enforcer Motion-Activated Sprinkler.

HUMANELY REPELS ANIMALS AND PESTS: Keeps animals and pests out of plants, yards and gardens using a harmless spray of water.

I’d say it did a good job. Again, notice how the motion-activated light was not a deterrent for the cyclist at all.  I am going to guess the sparyer is fixed to the bucket with concrete. Another idea for the security folder.

In the Monster Hunter International Universe, there is a character most interesting: Earl Harbinger. He kills monsters old school: Revolver and Thompson Machine Gun.

Larry Correia had the  beauty above  made by Apex Tactical. He has promised to do a full photo array with details next month and I will link you to that when it happens.
