right now its against the law to wear a mask while carrying a concealed weapon...
so if the government tells you to wear a mask, can you still carry concealed?
and more on masks - I see dozens of morons driving around in their own cars wearing a mask...how (&%#^ing stupid to you have to be
Wearing a mask applies only if you've committed an "offense", ARS #13-701D.26 is the specific statute.
Wearing a mask is not a violation within the CCW statutes, ARS #13-3101 through #13-3122
yes, but previously the wearing of a mask was a presumption of having committed an offense....
That specific 'mask' statute was sun set years ago.

The mayor of Boston is truly a moron. He’s continuing the shutdown because testing show not enough people have been exposed to the virus. Wait what??
yeah, wasn't that the point of the lock down - get everyone where they couldn't be exposed and let their healthy immune system actually do what it was designed to do...
no one ever accused the Mayor of Boston of being a MENSA member.
of course Walsh is a democrat - so that alone and MENSA are mutually exclusive

Here's more from the article you linked:
quote:
Boston’s mayor has put his plans for reopening the city on ice after a new study revealed that nearly 90% of residents haven’t been exposed to the coronavirus.
Mayor Marty Walsh had intended to gradually lift Boston’s lockdown starting Monday but changed his mind when he learned of the findings. Other parts of Massachusetts, however, are beginning to restart their economies.
“We can draw two preliminary conclusions from the results of this study,” Walsh said at a news conference Friday. “First, that the actions we took early on in this pandemic made a real difference in slowing the spread and, second, that the majority of our population still have not been exposed to the virus. This underscores what we already know, that we have to move cautiously and stay focused on what got us this far.”
So... 1. the actions we took early on in this pandemic made a real difference in slowing the spread, and 2. Because we slowed the spread we have to STAY shut down until everyone has had it....
OR is it until Donald Trump is defeated in November?
I'm really starting to think that these Democrats are trying to destroy the economy in order to hurt Donald Trump politically.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I haven't had a haircut since mid-March even though the barbers and salons here have been open since the beginning of the month. The commies who run Summit County are requiring salons to make their customers wear a mask, or they shut them down. Luckily I am really good friends with the girl who cuts my hair, and I have convinced her to trim me up at her homestead salon setup. So near the end of the month before I jet back to work, I'll head down to her place for a cut. She thinks this retarded mask requirement will go into July.
It's curious, since just last week I sat in a dentist's chair for 45 mins with his hands all up in my grill, and yet I can't sit in a barber's chair for 10-15 mins for a haircut? No sense to any of it.

Finally some effective pushback here in NC. While we have opened some things, a group of ministers and churches filed a federal lawsuit against our resident moron governor Cooper. This afternoon a federal judge issued an injunction against his order prohibiting inside church services with more than ten people. This comes soon after several Sheriffs had come out refusing to enforce that order banning services. Way to go judge!!! Now, just when things seem to be calming down with flattened/lessened cases here, some asshole in San Francisco has enlisted leftist university researchers here to help him lobby Cooper to order the wearing of masks in public! What the fuck business is it of this ass hole out there in the shit hole of the country to stick his nose in our business here and why all of a sudden is mask wearing so damned important. If it is so damn important why not do it a month ago at the worst part of this?
This bears emphasis. From the article (emphasis mine):
quote:
Experts have derided the coding from Professor Neil Ferguson, warning that it is a “buggy mess that looks more like a bowl of angel hair pasta than a finely tuned piece of programming.”
“In our commercial reality, we would fire anyone for developing code like this and any business that relied on it to produce software for sale would likely go bust,” David Richards, co-founder of British data technology company WANdisco, told the Daily Telegraph.

A 20 minute drive down Parley's canyon will get you to a barber. Be warned, since we opened up our state traffic was nuts today. A good sign IMHO.
As far as masks go, my work will require it starting on Monday IF you want to get back to your desk. Everyone has been WFO for over 2 months. I'll gladly put on a mask if that's what it takes, and no I won't turn in my security badge over having to wear a mask. Fuck this you're a pussy if you wear a mask attitude, I like my paycheck.

Actually, my wife drove down to Salt Lake for a hair treatment last week, and she was required to wear a mask. Perhaps Salt Lake County has the same mandate or it's statewide. Don't know. Don't care. But either way I'll be driving down Parley's for a trim since my hairdresser lives in Salt Lake.

People are free to do as they wish. As far as your employer requiring a mask, that's a completely different situation, now isn't it?
For instance, Delta is requiring masks for all its passengers in the ticketing area, Sky Clubs, boarding area, and onboard the plane. I have no choice but to fly in order to get back to work, so I'll do what I have to do. Although if Delta thinks I'm going to wear a mask for the duration of a five hour flight, they ought to think again.
Anyway, I'm prepared in case I get any gruff in my travels. I made this out of a mesh lingerie bag and mini bungee cords. At least I'll have no issue breathing.
And "pussy" isn't the word I would use.

Stolen! Love it!
Is the rest of Utah opening up? When this whole mess started, and I thought there was a possibility of furlough for me, I figured I'd come home (NM), pack up the Jeep, and head to the SE Utah desert for a while. I then found that San Juan and Kane counties (and maybe more) went as far as to ban primitive dispersed camping to non-county residents. That makes sense - I'm social distancing by miles, and it's forbidden.

That mask shows the farce of all this. There are no standards for these masks except that something is covering your mouth and nose. Truly, truly ridiculous. Theater for imbeciles.
What are they going to do? Tell you that your mask is sub-standard? Compared to what??

I'm wearing a Mexican wrestlers mask around... Looking through some of the other posts here on Sig Forum, it looks like I'm not the only one.

Well, I've taken to having the wife wrap my head in industrial strength kitchen plastic wrap. Just poke breathing holes for the mouth and nostrils (err, don't use a sharpened pencil for this. Trust me) and you're good to go!
In this way do I appease the God of Morons and yet manage to retain full facial (although slightly stocking-masky) visibility. One foot in sea and one on shore, as it were...

I picked up some carry-out the other night, I wore the wrestlers mask-
"YOURE NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY!" Screamed the lady about 2 people behind me.
"No, I'm not talking YOU seriously! Now kindly shut your pie-hole, you're infecting me with your stupidity."
Reactions were mixed...
I'm DONE! I seriously don't care anymore. All out of fucks to give. Don't want to hear any more about stupid shit connected to this virus, hell, I don't want to hear about any stupid shit anymore! I'm not the only one in this boat either!
(I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!)
