It was Bill's wife (whose name escapes me, but she is a sweetheart). Anyway, she was in the john at K-Mart, and while adjusting her sh!t getting ready to come back out unholstered the gun partway and then reholstered it. Either some of her clothing or, more likely, her finger, got in the trigger guard, and she sent one straight down the side of her leg into the floor. The way I heard the story, she was not seriously injured at all, but had a big burn on her thigh, a long scratch down her lower leg, a little flesh missing from the outside of her foot, a seriously mangled shoe, and a viciously bruised ego. If you search for the story on some of the IDPA message boards, you will find much discussion about it. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com

Ask Bill Wilson if one of his fine 45's has ever AD'd in a K-Mart. You will NOT get a discount. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com

The NRA has supported a number of gun control initiatives over time, including the biggies - the NFA in 1934 and the GCA of 1968. In both of these cases, the belief by the NRA was that by conceding major new gun laws, those who wished additional gun controls would just give up. It turns out that this has not been the case - many gun control groups openly follow a strategy of "incrementalism," trying to add additional laws a few at a time with the ultimate goal of eradication. I have explained this strategy like this in the past: Let's say I want to punch you in the mouth twice. You say you don't want me to harm you in any way. So we compromise, and I punch you in the mouth once. We met in the middle and everyone is happy, right? Well, no. I immediately say that I want to punch you in the mouth twice again. You take an extremist position - that you do not want me to touch you at all. Everyone comes down on you for not being willing to compromise, so eventually you agree to let me punch you in the mouth once again. We met in the middle, which was very reasonable of you. Once that is done, I say that I want to punch you in the mouth five times. You once again take an extreme position that I should not be able to touch you. Now, everyone is coming down on you not only for your heated rhetoric about not wanting you to be touched, but is also saying that you just agreed to be punched in the mouth last time, and that did not do anyting to placate me, so you have to let me do more. We compromise again, and this time I get to kick you in the nuts. While you are still doubled over, I say that I want to kick you in the nuts twice now, and the bystanders once again encourage you to compromise. By this point, you might be starting to feel like all your compromising is not doing you any good. Since I get to play the game over and over, there is no compromise that really does anything for you. In any "normal" negotiation, once the negotiation ends, the issue is settled. When it comes to gun control, agreeing to any more than we have already agreed to is very difficult for those of us who think there is way too much already, particularly since agreeing to more does not make the other side stop proposing more, a portion of which we are expected to agree to as a compromise.

It is one from time to time, even for you HSLD operators. I have seen some amazing improvements in recoil management from students coming out of HERE. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com

The NRA is more or less a gun control group that wants less gun control than is currently fashionable. They are therefore considered extreme. However, it is important to remember that they are indeed an "anti-gun" group to some extent when you evaluate the debate. That the NRA is considered by some a pro-gun extremist organization boggles my mind. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com

Judy, I'm disappointed. Do not feed the troll. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do%3Dsearch_results%3Bsearch_forum%3Dall%3Bsearch_user_username%3DBravestDog%3Bmh%3D25=Show+user%27s+posts ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com -
9mm. Easier to manage in recoil, and ammo is so much cheaper that you can shoot enough to gain a modicum of proficiency. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com

Regardless of the preachings of the self righteous, there is no need for your friend to get in any more trouble than he has to - that is the way our legal system works. Have him get a lawyer who has experience in this area. Have him STFU in the mean time. Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com

Their method of solving it is quite a bit different from the one I think we all used - if you look at their clues, I think that their "double encoding" system makes it more complicated than it actually was. Will there be another contest for the other lander? ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com

I just assumed they knew there were two white and two black. If there was not a finite universe of possiblities there, it would be impossible. Each would be faced with an infinite number of choices. "Uh, am I wearing a purple hat?" ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com

The second person will say "I am wearing a white hat." The second person will know that their hat color is different from the person next to the wall, because if the second person and the person next to the wall were wearing the same color hat, then the first person would have known his hat was the other color.

Since you asked for a critique, I assume you're open to comments about the mechanics of the shot. I would suggst that you open up your aperture more so that the background is less in focus. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com

I'm real. Riddler and WFFC can vouch for me, as well as the WTS regulars who post here. I've done a hop and pop with rhino, but his canopy was so much faster than mine that he might not even know it. Stuff I know that proves I'm real - Riddler is bad luck. If he shows up at your dz, the plane will crash, the weather will be bad, or there will be so many tandems that fun jumpers can only get on two loads per day. Rhino is short. Drakeshelby is short. Yardhippie won't listen when people tell him he is going to crash if he does not take it easy with his swoops. Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
