the thing you are having trouble understanding is that i pretend to hold no moral grounds, high or otherwise. i am not a cowboy, i am an educated, well travelled and well read individual with what i would like to think is a soundly based world view. the facts of daily life in england are not applicable here and vice verse. i will hazard a guess that you have never been a victim of violent crime perpetrated with a deadly weapon. until then you have absolutely no grounds, moral or otherwise, to judge me and how i have chosen to defend myself. when i come over to that side of the pond, you can tell me what i can and cannot own. until then enjoy your self flagellating grandstanding in the privacy and safety of your own home, solve your own self described gun control problems and stop blaming us for them. all that aside, hope your day is sunny. take care. namaste, motherfucker.

umm, just relax. make a 'poised exit' to ease your trip off the hill, should be 4 or 5 seconds, and pull. i repeat, if you are concerned with the low alti, a smooth exit is the answer. namaste, motherfucker.

better idea from a deeper thinker.... hand the guns out fo free. make bullets cost five thoouuusand dollars... EACH. thats a solution. mike, the criminal minority will NEVER have ANY trouble getting or using firearms. it is ALREADY an offence for them to own firearms and it is ALREADY an offense to sell to them. namaste, motherfucker.

that is just stooopid with a capital d. you might read lots of words but none of them will prove no hat is better than a frap. gearcheck headbuts, incidental doorway and fuselage contact, mild freefall impacts, rides to school on the short bus. i admit the small amount of protection a frap gives in the case of severe cranial impact is nil, but thats not the premise being explored here. but hey, if you wanna be a cool looking corpse instead of a dorky looking corpse i guess wearing a frap is worse than not. namaste, motherfucker.

sadly shakes head at ralu, sorry he can't scream "ITS A FRIGGIN HOLIDAY" over here in the land of the brave. everyone is still drinking. namaste, motherfucker.

lmao. thanks for noticing my right of passage. fix the problem? i don't think the best solution i can think of is a solution that would work. i say remove the stigma and restrictive legislation and allow law abiding and responsible gun owning americans to overwhelmingly outnumber violent criminals. the problem i see with this is that the highest concentrations of armed criminals are in communities with socio-economic issues that would preclude more prevalent gun ownership. i don't pretend to have an answer, but the old adage 'outlaw guns and only outlaws will have guns' still rings true. namaste, motherfucker.

a comedian, whodathunkit? namaste, motherfucker.

absolutely! the titty bars in tj are crawling with tv's and ts's and it has always been a riot watching freshly post pubescent jarheads getting happily felt up blissfully unaware that the person rubbin his wee-wee HAS a wee-wee. namaste, motherfucker.

oops, i clicked thinking PCS is what happens after reading the silent thread dayum, chris, your having a hard time of it but i am sure it's gonna resolve itself. get better. r.e. training: it is my understanding that a mandatory regression of one or more levels pursuant to a check dive is SOP. i am sure i will be corrected by those more qualified than i. namaste, motherfucker.

right-fuckin-on. now that is proof of intelligent life on this planet. i will never deny that america has a gun problem. but the vast majority of american gun owners are not part of it. namaste, motherfucker.

your criminals have guns, havent you noticed? and you dont. and your police? sounds comforting. as does the possibility of facing a murder charge for defending yourself in your home. sleep well. fact is, guns aint goin nowhere. not here, not never. laws may change, facism may reign, but through it all, criminals will use guns against the populace, and legal or not, patriots will use guns to defend same. it will most likely , and hopefully, never happen to any of you who read this, but when a gun is pointed at you, your eyes grow telescopic lenses and the barrel seems a foot wide. and when it is fired at you it looks like a cannon and time does a funny thing - it speeds up AND it slows down. hard to explain. that night i didnt have time to consider the pros and cons of handgun proliferation. i drew my weapon, put 2 out of 3 where they were supposed to go and saved more than one life. it is a heartwrenching and scarring event that takes on a whole new light having actually occured but i am still breathing. what the fuck do i care what an obnoxiously loudmouthed minority in this country and half of the other countries on the planet have to say; fuck with me or mine and somebody is headed for a cold slab. i trust this will give you enough 'ammunition' (wow, symbolic metaphor) to continue to characterize law abiding and socially concious americans as bloodthirsty gun freaks. enjoy. peace namaste, motherfucker.

paul, posting PMs is a real bad idea. it will not solve the problem and will most certainly cause many more by appearing to set precedence. and i believe there are certain greenies with an itchy deleting finger. jas, killfile the abuser and resume partying. namaste, motherfucker.

i dont know much about the gun owners of america, or even the nra for that matter. i do know that i have the right to say what i want and i have the right (although it is held out to be a priveledge) to own firearms. if one likes living in a country where you can be jailed for defending yourself in your own home, from a intruder, more power to you. happily, i do not live in a country like that. why dont gun control freaks go try to take the guns away from the somolis or afghans and get the fuck offa my constitutional rights. namaste, motherfucker.

dayum, just how tall and skinny and white ARE you? the only time i ever bust a balloon is when a rib snaps and goes where it aint spossed to. should i be worried? what is this condition called. i used to think the only thing i had to worry about was looking like a tard on the dance floor... p.s. take it easy and get better. namaste, motherfucker.

nope missed that one in my haste to sound like i know what i am talking about. lol. the 36 is even shorter than the 23. too funny. i wanna say that big hands limits our carry options, but i can imagine you stuffin a desert eagle in yo britches. and kimber is most certainly the finest 1911 out there. good taste, dave. namaste, motherfucker.

i enjoyed amazing accuracy with my 23, but did not have magextenders so i was really uncomfy gripping with 2 fingers. a little tiring too. you have that kind of problem? id like to see dave grab onto a 23. finny thought. and i have to agree with dave on the ruger. mine was a p89. didnt jam much but was just real 'loose' and noisy. know what i mean. traded mine for a standup bass. namaste, motherfucker.

hk is a solid weapon, as is a sig. they are some of the finest sidearms i have ever fired. and having owned ruger, beretta, paraordnance and glocks, all in larger calibres, i have come to the conclusion that a 1911 worked over at the Kimber factory is the shiznitz. the ultra carry 45acp will be my next sidearm. the workmanship is exquisite and the design is time tested. sorry i cant give you a more informed opinion of your chosen model. and remember, guns dont kill people... but they sure make it easier. namaste, motherfucker.

i could be wrong, just ask anybody, but it appears to me that the salient issue is that while you were fighting with your canopy, the other jumper was flying AT YOU. all i really know is that if i am flying at anyone, whether they be dealing with problems or not, it is MY responsibility to save two lives. a clear pattern is not gauranteed to anyone and such a heavy handed response to such an occurance smells of experience and self confidence issues on his part. you did the only thing you could do in reaction to him. let him show himself as an asshat with the knowledge that you are most certainly not the only one who noticed. but you already knew that. and as the seasoned skydiver you are, it wouldn't suprise me if you took the high road and actually had a rational conversation with him at a later date. or you could just blame it on your rigger take care, kiddo. namaste, motherfucker.

hmmm... me 35, wendy..?!?! 70? your holding up well. 8^P~ i guess i have to wait until i get my POPS patch to do the nasty dance with w2. maybe i will have found a good deal on a can'o'confidence by then. namaste, motherfucker.

bounce. humans do indeed 'bounce'. generally only once. not always, but more often than not. if it ever becomes apparent to me that i am indeed going in, i will take a deep breath, close my eyes and forgive myself for making a mess. i know it aint gonna hurt at all. what would really suck is for a skydiver to check out after being hit by a bus. namaste, motherfucker.

anyone seen this show? old kung fu movies dubbed in pimp n hoe english. too fuckin funny. on a channel called 'fuse' ch 339 on dtv. namaste, motherfucker.

...realizes he brought the wrong can of whoopass. now where is that can with punkassbitch written all over it?..... namaste, motherfucker.

...looking for trouble. too quiet here. holsters can of whoopass with 'bitchasspunk' written all over it. sigh. namaste, motherfucker.

dont take this the wrong way, but it is my feeling that all involved would be better served if you waited a few more pud pulls before giving advice like this to someone with even less experience. this is not talk-back and is not an appropriate place for flippant responses. and... whut tonto sed. namaste, motherfucker.

eeeeeeeeeewwww. i could have made it through this life without that visual. namaste, motherfucker.
