Guys, most women are physically more vulnerable than most men. And they are more attractive to men. I haven't been mugged or attacked, but it's as much luck as anything. And someone who got into a skid in their car on the ice may start using winter tires or studded tires -- someone who was attacked in their home, in their shower, might well want some additional safety. It's partly emotional, and emotions matter. Yes, better locks (which might not be an option in a rental property) can help. And a gun won't go into the shower, and is, in fact, likely to be seen by an intruder if one comes into the shower. But don't try to rob her experience or her emotions. Wendy P.

I'm OK with Disney making all their movies available to adults - which includes adults who have children. As to what kids watch, that's up to their parents, not Disney.

What a clusterfuck

Fact is that people who keep guns in their homes are more likely to be shot dead than those who don't. Just because it makes you feel better doesn't make it a good idea.

If money is no object, and you are already a competent packer - it might be worth it. A turn rig allows you to get perhaps 30% more jumping during the day, and that can get you more experience more quickly, However: 1) Time in sport is still a thing. If you get 300 jumps in two weeks, you still know far less than someone who gets 300 jumps over a year. 2) Make sure you know how to pack. I can pack in 6 minutes, so unless I am trying to turn with a team, I don't bother with a turn rig. If this is a crutch because it takes you an hour to pack, fix that first. Get your packing under 10 minutes so you can pack and so you know your gear. 3) Make sure the two rigs are very similar; within one size of each other, and same or similar canopies. You are going to learn how to fly one canopy at a time, so make sure you are not switching back and forth in a big way. And if you are trying to lean high performance landings, make sure your two rigs are EXACTLY the same, down to harness size.

No. But, even if I did, it does not put any of the responsibility on me, the only one to blame is the criminal. Again, trying to put any part of the responsibility on anyone other than the perp is victim blaming. Of course it is a fantasy wish to have been armed. 20/20 hindsight and all.

When you went to high school in California; were there over 3,000 people killed with guns each year in that state alone? Cause to me; that's a gun problem and a people problem.

I'm attaching a PDF that has all of these particular 302's in them regarding the money and how it was packaged and transported. NickyB reached out to Tina's "handler", Dawn Bierschwal and she gave a dumb answer in response. Also posting Nicky asking Al Lee's secretary about it. About the paper bands leaving marks, as I posted previously, Chaucer reproduced Kaye's "will it float" experiment with a bundle since Tom used a packet. The thought being that maybe the fanning out of the bills is what caused the money to sick. As mentioned, the bundle floated about 7 minutes and then sank. He immediately pulled it out of the water and set it out to dry. A day later the paper bank bands were already disintegrating. I don't believe the paper bands would have lasted long enough to left any shadows. Similarly, what tiny fragments of paper could have still been left is likely to have escaped the Ingrams' notice. Why would they have cared about such a thing? Bank-302s.pdf

Hi folks, Looks like it ends right here: Two students are dead after a shooting at ( Starts Right Here ) charter school 2 students killed, teacher injured in ‘targeted’ shooting at Iowa school | The Hill No big deal, only two killed. Move on, folks. Jerry Baumchen

If the answer is that people have to have firearms in the shower - something very fundamental is broken in our society.

I say no. Think about the jump before jumping, think while you're making the jump, think about the jump after the jump, and think about it some more while packing. Get the most from every hop. If money is no object get good coaching before a second rig.

The gun most likely to kill you is one that you own. It's a myth that being armed makes you safer.

WOW, found out some interesting stuff on the DAN COOPER comic,, found a list of all the editions that were printed in Mexico in Spanish for Latin America... but it looks like the fictional Canadian test pilot DAN COOPER was inspired by aka "copied" from a real US test pilot from 1945-1973 named George Cooper who was the chief test pilot at NASA. They changed the character to be Canadian to be more acceptable internationally, never published in english or officially distributed it in the US. Much more on this later... there is a nexus.. https://history.arc.nasa.gov/hist_pdfs/cooper_bio_20120724.pdf
