i've only ever jumped a 280 but the last jump i did, i looked up and didn't reconise the colour of the canopy... for about a minute i sat shitting myself. i did my checks... unpacked the toggles, and flared.. seemed ok, but i thought i had picked the wrong rig out of the rental room at the DZ... turned out it was a usual student canopy, i almost froze for a few seonds while i thought about it when i first saw it right...... When you talk about a HP canopys, do you mean ALL canopys that are not student ones? i've ordered a new Pilot 190, is this a HP canopy.. will it have the same characteristics as the smaller ones you're talking about? ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

do you put your combat trousers on and rumage around in the dirt, trying to kill rabits? we got ourselves a real live militiaman here folks... yee haaaa ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

we have a right to defend our property... with "reasonable" force, shooting somebody dead is not reasonable force ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

and look where thats getting you ! how many murders per year due to guns? ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

when I am home, my gun is out and on my body. there is only a slim chance it will be used against me or a member of my family. if I were unarmed however, there is a GOOD chance that a perpetrator will have a gun or some other weapon with which to harm my beautiful wife, or my innocent, beloved children. And I will NOT let that happen. Not now, not ever, not as long as I have breath. Call me idiotic. Call me a loser cowboy. I don't give a fuck. Just don't try to hurt my family. It won't be pretty. I'll live the mental image of a bullet or two or eight in the perp. Better that than the mental image of my baby girls or boy molested and murdered or, if kidnapped, no image AT ALL, or the image of my wife raped and possibly murdered. Again, I don't give a fuck if you don't understand why so many Americans feel the way I do about this issue. This isn't about you. It's about me and my family and thanks be to God I live in a country and a state that recognizes my God-given right to protect myself and my family in the way I see fit. thank god we don't live in an as fucked up country as you do then... we don't carry guns, and we don't feel the need to be as paranoid about things as you do. The average "perp" in this country isn't carrying a gun. do you think the only reason so many criminals in the states carry guns, is because its been so easy for anybody to go out and buy one? its too late for you to ban them, been too easy for too long for Joe Public to buy one.... You're already fucked, but the countries who have never had this crazy "right to bear arms" thing, hasn't had guns available to the masses, so there just aren't that many out there... yes, the minority of criminals everywhere have them, but its not as widespread as america. Once you have a "right to bear arms" you have a spiralling gun culture, you get people saying "well, i might as well have one to protect myself" and the only reason the say that is because of many years of lax gun control, enabling millions of guns to have been bought and "out there" ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

i wonder how we manage without guns then? ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

ok..... what about if we know each other... we have an argument (you catch me shagging your wife)... you hatch a plan... you invite me over, and then shoot me dead... you then make it look like a break in and say it was dark and i came for you, you shot me because you were in fear of your life, you didn't realise i was a friend of yours.... you state we had been arguing earlier, and hey presto.... you get away with murder thats just one of he reasons why guns are banned in this country ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

good points, but i'm not sure everyody who carries a gun is actuall prepared for the aftermath of killing somebody.... its ok to shoot an attacker in the panic of being mugged, but thast going to haunt alot of people for the est of their lives ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

couple of things............ 1. how many people have a gun in their house to shoot burlars with? and how many are prepard for the mental images of doing that, that will stay for the rest of their lives? 2. how many people who have a gun in their house for protection, would regret that decision if they had their gun taken off them by a burglar and usd on their wife instead.... not all people you intend to shoot are 7 stone weaklings, and may just take that gun off you and make you regret having it there in the first place ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

they all come back except the oirish, who are just lazy and stay in new york ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

i just don't understand Americans and their facination with guns, why the hell do you want a "right to bear arms" it just sems some kind of macho bullshit to me Do Americans think other countries who have gun bans, are wrong? ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

Think of it as insurance. is it legal to kill an intruder in your house in america? ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

why do you want guns anyway? is it some kind of macho ego trip that none Ameicans just don't understand? ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

lets sweep this under the carpet and say no more about it shall we even if the good old US of A was to use such weapons, they asked for it, hey man.. its a god damn war, friken A ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

ok, warning noted, but.... can i just ask, just for clarification so i don't step accross the line and get banned..... is it ok to send abusive pm's, but not acceptable to name and shame the sender on here? would i have been ok to send him an abusive pm in return? or how about i send an abusive pm, out of the blue, to somebody who's posts i don't agree with? i'm just curious as to whats ok and what's not, i don't want to be an habitual line stepper

you think i've been slapped down? dream on lad ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

i'm sat laughing my tits off at some of the posters in this topic.... going on like little bitches about the fact i posted a pm, big deal !!!!! do you think i care about good ettiquet on the internet? you really read too much into all of this if you're getting your knickers in a twist about me posting it do you know one sure way of making sure nobody posts an abusive pm you send to somebody? don't send one in the first place !!!!!! i don't send them, i don't even post abuse towards people on the actual forum, what i do do is take the mickey out of people, and its usually the ones who take forums ever so serious that i target, they are the ones who will always get territorial and defend their beloved forum thanks for the laughs about integrity and class, you made me smile at work ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police

So, if i was abusive towards you in a pm, and then was all nice and sweet on the forum... you'd let me get away with that would you? You'd let others be fooled into thinking i was a decent guy, when you knew otherwise? ________________________________________ drive it like you stole it and f*ck the police
