    Washington, my home state, is more like Texas regarding the use and possession of weapons. You can carry them in your car if they are not within reach and the ammo is separate, and the gun unloaded.

    There is no 'they must be in the house' stuff for using weapons to protect your property, either. You can actually shoot someone in your driveway, for example, if they are attempting to steal your car. It's been done and no charges were filed.

    This attempted no-guns-in-the-park law was probably inspired by two separate incidents in Washington, one about four years ago, and one just a few months back, where two different female US Forest Service Rangers were shot and killed. The most recent happened at Mount Rainier National Park, and that one caused a great deal of distress among the citizenry. You aren't allowed to carry weapons in National Parks, at least in Washington state. I haven't checked the other parks, but it's probably the same thing.

    The idea of banning guns, in any case, is a lot like closing the barn door after the horses have gone. Current estimates of privately-held weapons in America range from 400 million up to a BILLION. That doesn't count anything held by the military or in sporting goods stores. This is one of the reasons I don't fear any sweeping laws that would actually ban guns in America.

    There would be no way to enforce it. You would need a million more cops and a warehouse the size of Nevada to store them all. :)
    I am NOT in favor of banning guns. I AM in favor of restricting the magazine capacities to ten rounds for pistols and what the cops want to do, which is to 'tag' ammunition so it can be traced. Cops say they could solve a lot more murders that way, and I suppose that makes sense. I'm also in favor of grandfathering certain models of pistols, such as Glocks, that hold more than ten, but to ban the extend-a-mags.

    I suppose you could say I'm in favor of the Second Amendment rights, but in a slightly more sensible manner. That's just my two cents' worth, anyway.



    You really should do a little research before posting.

    The one that fits your body type best, has a "look" that you like, comes from a manufacturer with a good reputation for customer service, will be in your hands in a time frame that you consider to be reasonable and has features that you want.

    Unless of course you want to be told what to buy, in which case you should buy an Infinity, cuz that's what I jump and I only jump the best. :)



    +1 cuz the 'bytch said so.





  8. Way to go, although you went and stole my thunder.:D I, too did my initial hour today. Still can't believe I landed the 172 with just a few verbal corrections. Gotta say I was so ready to get out of the plane at 3k. Time to sell one of the kids for flight time.

    Looks like I'll be there.:)

  16. Well, since we're on the subject...

    This is the reincarnation (with some minor changes) of my old rig that was swiped by some low-life a year ago. I finally got the new canopies loaded up and can't wait to get this thing airborne.B|

    Many thanks to Kelly, Tony, and the rest of the VSE crew. And a special thank you to Valinda for taking care of the details.;)


    p.s.

    If anyone happens to see a rig very similar to this, let me know. I'd really like to get the original back.

    Yeah. Downright shameful it was. Like a PeeWee hockey team. Glad I don't have to listen to their coach at practice today!

    Good thing it's a long season, huh? ;)


    My kid's PeeWee team could have taken the Sharks last night.:S
