  1. Really people complain about having to wear proper attire to adhere to a dress code. For my job I have to provide a complete toolbox that I have about 40 grand in it. I have to provide steel toe work boots that typically cost more then 50 bucks if you like your feet. There are plenty of jobs out there that require what wallmart is starting. This gets news cause it is another thing g to attack wall art over. Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle
  2. That's where you are messing up. It has to be tin foil not aluminum foil. You have to get the good stuff not the cheap aluminum crap you find these days. Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle

  4. I have hesitated to enter this disscusion. My input doesn't pertain to the militarazation but the us vs them. I can come up with a few but the one that shows it best is. Me and my friend at 21 or 22 years old. Back in 1984 I believe. We were doing something we were completely in the wrong doing. But I was a bored country boy in the city no squrels to shot so we take a pellet gun and went cat hunting. Yes I know it was wrong this was long ago I would not do it now. With that said back to the story. After about a half hour of going through the housing tract. We wound up back next to my moms house where I lived at the time, just as a police cruiser passed us the other way. We were just coming up to the curb parking and my friend Gary driving said they are flipping around. So once he stopped I exited the vehicle while throwing my open container under his car hoping it would not be seen. Well they never said anything of the beer. But 2 seconds after I got out of that car a policeman with a twelve gauge was telling me to get down. After I did he proceeded to come up and aim at the back of of my head for about 15 minutes. While the other policeman was talking to and covering Gary with a 1911. About 5 minutes into it Gary was pronged out on the otherwise of the vehicle. This went on for awhile while they were saying they had reports of a shooter shooting at kids. Even though two minutes into the stop they knew it was a pellet gun. Up to this point I don't like what is happening but it is my fault. At this point Gary ask the cop if he knows Sergeant Joe Smith. Who happened to be 5 years retired from the same city. Gary then tells.him he is Joe Smiths son. Those two officers attitude changed imediatly. The one holstered his 1911 and helped Gary up. The other one even played his shotgun on the ground and helped me up and brushed the grass of the front of me. That has never happened before. They gave a lecture confiscated the pellet gun and said have a nice night. That is basicly where my involvement ends but 20 minutes later when we were standing in front of my house Gary's dad showed up walked across the grassknocked garyGary on his ass said get in the truck. Turned to me and my mom. Said sorry and left. It is amazing as to what one name drop will do to keep you from going to jail. When that name is a cop.

  5. That I am sure is true. I have seen 4 fatalities on a DZ. Everyone kept operations going as best they could. Once the departed was taken away it was buisness as normal. This was on three different DZs. Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle
  6. I don't see where you think I inferred she should become apart of a terrorist organization. It just shows your logic Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle
  7. Well the quite often is subjective. I don't have hard numbers on the subject. But I have been on at least 6 work sites where someone was killed. None of them were shutdown. I am sure there was an OSHA investigation and maybe a lot more. But I was only a hand and not privey to any paperwork. I am aware of your typicle views and outlooks on subjects here. And I think they are logical and well thought out. But unfortianatly fatalities will continue to happen as long as there are living organisms. I am not saying that everyone involved acted like they should have. Just the opposite whoever decided on the Uzi for her deserves the blame along with the instructor. A crew served weapon on a tripod a much better choicefor ffull auto for a child. Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle
  8. That's not really something to be proud of Wendy P. How many DZ's have you seen shut down because of a fatality? Because of regulations not financial reasons. If you have a construction site that has hundreds or thousands of hands on site. A lot might not even know a fatality happened for weeks after. Do you expect them to shut down a shipyard that might be working on 40 or 50 multimillion or billion dollar jobs because one person was killed in an accident? I can see having empathy and compassion for the deceased. But you can't expect to shit down the site compleatly. Unless it is something very major.

  9. And why do you expect another countries labor code to be equal to yours? Do you expect the same from China, Russia,Somalia? Who is expected to comply with your expectations and who gets a pass? Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle
  10. Well since the victim/ instructor lived in Nevada, I don't see where worksafeBC laws or regs mean anything. People get killed on construction sites quite often with them never being shut down. Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle
  11. So am I. I live in the USA, and your average idiot as you put is not carrying full auto hand cannons. But the average idiot thinks they are. Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle
  12. I have a t- shirt that says " There are some people alive simy because it's ill eagle to kill them" My boss was giving members of his family tours of our new building that is twice the size. And twice t As nice. This 80 something year old lady at the end of the line of a dozen people. Stopped me to read that shirt. She was laughing for a long time. I got called into the office for that. And thanked. It was the owners aunt and she loved it. Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle
  13. Your pretty sure about that? How many people have you killed to know how it effects the person. My uncle that was one of triplets killed his brother playing with a gun when he was 7 years old. I guaranty you he never forgot it until he died at 68 . He still was an avid hunter all his life though. He never blamed the gun. I loved and miss that man. My uncle. And I am damn glad it was not his other triplet or I would not be here. Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle
  14. I agree wholeheartedly. The range had other full autos for her to shoot that would have been much safer. I would not trust the average Marine with a full auto Uzi without a lot more training than that. And the USMC doesn't either for good reasons. I would rather see her shoot a ma deuce than an Uzi. The ma deuce might scare her more but it is a lot safer being on a tripod. But if it was my kid I would have waited a few more years before allowing SMG's. My heart goes out to that little girl as she.will never forget this. And she has done nothing to deserve that pain. Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle

  16. No more than your buddy at the DZ saying "Hey, asshole!" to you, versus the guy you cut off on the highway saying "Hey, asshole!" to you. No, seriously: you really didn't get that? OK. I never realized a differencein my vocal reaction to either one it is normally a resounding what or at times a yes.I will let you figure out which one gets which reply.

  22. Why not? Unless you have one you want to give him. I have many guns people say I wasted my money on. But when there broke out at the range I get a lot of people asking questions and wanting to shot them. Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle
  23. I made four jumps sucsesfully before cutting away and going to reserve on level off with Harley as my affi. Grabbed another student rig and went back up for another sucsesfull jump. Two weeks latter Harley went in. Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle
  24. I am not a religious person. But if that is a christian virtue. I wish more people had it. Use to be two or more people could talk out there differences and come to an amicable solution. Anymore that is hard to do because people are advised don't say anything and contact a lawyer to sue and see how much money you can get. Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle
  25. This has apparently happened more than once. http://rt.com/usa/new- mexico-cavity-search-victim-451/ It has happened much more than one or two times. That is sop there. See a vehicle with out of state plates. A lot of times loaded truck or trailer. And the attitude that we don't know for sure but we think you might have drugs in your vehicle. So we are going to tear apart your vehicle find no drugs but find $20,000 in cash. And they confiscate the cash as being drug money. Then leave it up to the suspects to prove different. That is where I have a big problem with this stuff. Is the LEO's say the money they find on some individual is dope.money. that is all they have to do. They don't have to prove it. They say you have to prove it is not. It is sad that you can not travel the US with a large sum of cash on you without the risk of it getting stolen from you by the government. And after that happens you ha e to prove to their standards that you were not going to use that money for illegal means. Why would anybody fear that? The war on drugs is a failure.
