Think I prefer the taser... I don't see this being used a lot to be honest. In many cases of police shootings it takes more than 1 bullet to get a suspect to stop trying to hurt the officer or someone else because of their adrenaline. I just don't see an officer using this on a suspect who is drunk, angry, or on an adrenaline rush that is attacking them or someone else, instead of a tazer, baton, or force of hands. I do see this being the source of a lot of complaints... "He put me in cuffs then burned me... but I can't prove it because I have no marks..." Aspiring flying squirrel / Jump student

What will that mean to an unknowing alien? Please, explicate. Have you done any research into the more militant militias that exist? Before I decided to skydive I was dumping money into ammo and combat gear to go start training with our local militia. There are a few though that just turned me away because they seemed, well... a little off? Kinda like, I want to be prepared to kill NATO when they come and try to take our guns. So when I say the government will have to kill a lot of people, I mean that I believe there to be a large number of people who will view that as a hostile act and resist or more appropriately put, shoot back. I would like to note, I am not one of these crazies. They weird me out. Although I have found a bigger and less insane militia to join and practice with. :) Aspiring flying squirrel / Jump student

I just threw up reading this.... Are you going to eat it now? Aspiring flying squirrel / Jump student

I like that one. Spoons are for eating. Guns are for shooting. take away all the spoons, people will still eat. take away all the guns, people will still.....shoot? Take away all the spoons, people will still eat. Take away all the guns... the government would have to kill a lot of people first. Aspiring flying squirrel / Jump student

Cool. Let me know how that works for you, doing your own determination instead of letting the courts do it. Wendy P. You know Wendy, If I wait on the courts it may be too late. Blues, Cliff You seem like the kind of person who is a danger to society. Aspiring flying squirrel / Jump student

You're white, aren't you? How do they know that? And what if it were just an honest mistake that put you into jail? E.g. you looked like the perp, or someone ID'd you? The repercussions generally make it not worth it, even in the very unlikely circumstance that it was justified. Police deal in a lot of emergent situations, and they cannot be perfect. That's just life. But it's also unacceptable to say that you might just get thrown in jail anyway -- there's a reason we trust our systems, and I'd really hope to continue to be able to trust our systems. When our social systems depend on individual power, they break down in the long run. It's the insititutional power that means that the people control the system, rather than the people at the top. Which is why Congress sucks so much right now -- there seems to be more and more focus on power there, and the power of being an incumbent is real. Wendy P. I am white, I won't sue if they made a crappy ID. I am arguing Cliffs extremes and therefore not including every single instance. I was referring to some nasty event that could happen in which I was beaten and roughed up then brought to jail (should have been more clear). Being thrown in jail is the worst that would happen as would me suing anything. I have been improperly ID'd before and sat in a squad car for 20 minutes till the guy came and said I wasn't the perp at which point the police apologized and let me be on my way. Half the time I talked to the police about why they prefer the Glock 40 to the 1911. I agree with your thoughts though. Aspiring flying squirrel / Jump student

All the force I can once I am in the LEGAL SYSTEM. I've already read your other post on how you feel about armed police officers on your property and wanting to shoot them because you feel you need to keep your premises firearm free (regardless of the fact you have firearms). I have seen cases where police officers resisted against police officers in other states (because they thought they were racially profiled) and they fought back and got screwed for it. You go to jail and you fight in court. So how do you ever know if it's a fake cop or a real one? One acting righteously or one with nefarious pupose? Do you just always comply or do you assert yourself and preemptively kill the cop? Blues, Cliff Having common sense is a good start. Informing yourself is an even better start. Fake cop? Probably won't have a squad car with 100 lights and will call for backup if you roll on the road shoulder slowly... If you are in doubt, do that and call 911 and state your fear. So ,and correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears to me ,death by cactus, that you would go along with an unlawful arrest and trust the cop who is acting ublawfully to comply with the law. Unlawful/comply with the law? It doesn't make sense to me. Please explain Blues, Cliff I have no reason to be in fear for my life from the government. I give no reason in which to be unlawfully arrested. If I were to be unlawfully arrested I come from a family of lawyers and would sue to an extent so great the city of Houston would sooner bend over and hand their internal organs to me. I am not going to kill a man who probably has a family and kids, just because he is in the wrong and being an idiot and I don't want to spend the night in jail. I respect the job of peace officer even if I do disagree with some of the laws they enforce. If it is not a cop, well, I am pretty keen on police and their activity as well as fakes... I don't stop for anything unmarked or not loaded with police lights. So yes, I will handle things like a mature adult. I know where the cop is taking me... I would be going to jail, I will be angry, and I will go to court. Not to mention have you even thought of the repercussions of shooting a cop, unlawful or otherwise? The fallout would be intense, months if not years of court OR you might just get thrown in jail anyway for the rest of your life. Aspiring flying squirrel / Jump student

This is a joke right? Firearmfree zones = Victim zones, like my college campus is a victim zone. More importantly, police and federal agents would destroy you if you attempted to do as you say. If you lived you would be imprisoned. You can't just go around shooting people you don't like or who are not threatening you. I live in Texas, I can shoot and kill someone for stealing property here... Not that I would, but what you are suggesting is absurd. I wonder what the nationwide death rate would reach if the US government ever tried to confiscate firearms. Aspiring flying squirrel / Jump student

The legs... and the imagination it inspires... Lingerie is good, but it is formal for the situation I guess. Plus it can be more inhibiting imo. At least that is my perception of it. Aspiring flying squirrel / Jump student

I am a skydiver, GWB was the presedent of the united states of america, do you comprehend the difference? I fall, and he was responsable for the livlihoods of all americans and a shitload of other foreigners. He could hardly string a sentence together, yet was in a position that is considered by many as the most powerful in the world. I believe he was simply a puppet. Not a very good one at that. Do you really have to ask me what it is about the confederate flag, that I don't like? Do you know anythng about american history? The redneck adgenda that you are obviously promoting seems oblivious if its own obvious faults. http://www.wntube.net/play.php?vid=2460 The swasitika was a neutral symbol before hitler inverted it and used it for his regime. Are you allowed to fly a swastika around and consider it a sybol of good luck? http://history1900s.about.com/cs/swastika/a/swastikahistory.htm I don't think so, you can blame the KKK and its many thousands of followers for skewing history like that, the cival war was not all about slaves. The confederate flag, was gripped onto by the racist cunts of the KKk and now it will forever symbolise the pigheaddedness of such morons. just like the poor old swastika... If you believe he was simply a puppet then you do not believe that he was responsible for the livelihoods of Americans and a "shitload of other foreigners." Puppets have no responsibility. Their masters do. Aspiring flying squirrel / Jump student

There is a difference in a CHL holder carrying into a college (banned) and being able to carry in your friends friend's house (regulated). However, I fail to see the logic in how you claim that since he has fell into your little trap he suddenly supports punishing people for things they did not do.

Thanks, I hope she becomes an addict. If not my brother is Army Airborne and will also be getting his license. I don't think they have it where I go (Skydive Spaceland). At least, it is not listed. Aspiring flying squirrel / Jump student

Hello, My name is Adam and I am an addict. I took my first tandem last Friday on my birthday. It was... well, you remember your first sky dive I am sure. I have been lurking this forum for a few days now and will be going to be do my AFF after one more tandem with a friend. I one day hope to fly a wing suit. It has been a desire of mine for a long, long time. Aspiring flying squirrel / Jump student
