There is 'no rule of thumb' for charging an auto a/c ; it has to be
accurately metered in making sure you dont contaminate the system with
air and moisture when you recharge the system. You dont charge an
auto system until the suction line starts to get cold, as that is not
an accurate way. Please pay a qualified auto a/c Tech the money to
have it done properly, accurately, and safely . A can of R134A under
pressure can be dangerous in the wrong hands and should never be sold
on the shelf to the general public.

Do you have the same opinion about propane and butane?

Yes. Anything that is a toxic explosive gas should not be sold on the
shelves for the average consumer who most often doesnt know how to use
it properly or safely. The only butane I personally would condone on
the shelves is the very small container used for refilling a cigarette
lighter . Get a shot of shelf-bought liquid R134a in the eye and
suddenly that consumer would agree with Me.

The same can be said for religion:
Dangerous when fed to uneducated gullible people and should never be
sold off the shelf to the general public

Using your logic..Perhaps we should outlaw the sale of cars etc.
Gasoline is one of the most used flammables that most folks seem to
misuse. Either in accidentally burning Homes and Garages down..But not
only that.. putting it in cars and killing each other. How about that
acetylene stuff.? Mix a bit of Oxygen with it and a spark and you can
take out a whole city block. Maybe we can outlaw Dry ice too..That makes
a nice urban bomb. Soap and tooth paste should be banned because they
contain glycerine.. Helluva an explosive if you get enough of it.

Yes. Religion should only be doled out with the proper lubricant.

It makes no logical sense for a Teenager who can buy a 12 oz. can of
R134A Freon off the shelf at Walmart, when HVAC Professionals
require a Refrigerant Handling Card for correct useage and safety.

I recall no such certification for R134A. I carry a Universal and I see
no such requirement in it. Please enlighten me. Not a whole lot of the
folks in the HVAC industry use R134A. I however do. Could it be better
that a teenager can buy R134A to huff then to cut the Schrader valve
locks off their neighbors Central air to gain a plastic bag of Cooling
gases to Huff? So the moral of the story is *Keep a tight rein on your
Damned Teenager*. Isn't it amazing that we can take a man-child into our
military, hand him weaponry, but we cannot trust our Man-child to
engage in responsible actions at home?
