I keep saying that states need to have the alternative of the firing squad as a means of execution.
1) Firing squads are very difficult to appeal as a means of execution.
2) The material used: rifles, bullets, and the wood and nails to build the rifle platform and chairs, are ubiquitous. And any LEO can be part of a firing squad.
3) Blood is usually not a problem, and if it might be, an absorbent vest can be put on the condemned to prevent obvious leakage.
4) The law and death penalties could be written so that the firing squad can be used as an option, an alternative, if some judge interferes with the preferred means of execution. This separates the means of execution from the condemned, so that even if the means is appealed, such as lethal injection, the execution can continue while the appeal is being heard.
Get a rope!
Meanwhile on June 9th in cali it will be legal to take a drug to kill yourself if you only have months to live.
If the judge instructed the prisoner to make a 100% blood donation to the Red Cross, I think that would be sufficient. No noise, little pain when the heart starts struggling and it’s done.

More likely is that there would be very little money to be made for friends and family.
So use a generic.
Thank you, did not know that.
