  1. there is no such thing as "burglarproof," particularly without spending 5-10k $ and installing something that weighs in excess of a ton. All these safes buy you is time, just as they do with their fireproofing. Most of the safes approved by the California DoJ for storage requirements can be cut into in a couple minutes, using common tools. Smaller ones (< 500 lbs) can just be carried away, particularly for renters who cannot drill into the floor. Blaming the victim with no actual knowledge of the event is akin to blaming the truck owner in Nice for all those dead people. IF the dead man did in fact buy this stolen .380, he is the only person to blame here. It really shouldn't be necessary to say this, and if the facts do land here, how soon will all of you apologize to the cops you vilified? No one ever said guns must be theft proofed. Secure storage increases safety. Mostly by making them less accessible to people in the house. (Especially family members).

  2. No, people order longer or shorter risers according to their needs. Although container manufacturers probably do just ship a standard length unless something else is requested. The only standard I know of is the 4 inch measurement from the tip to the guide ring. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  3. That;s not completely true. It's the American electorate that fills that role. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

  5. It has been fortold by the Prophet Paul and proclaimed by his disciple Art. "The people bowed and prayed to the Neon God they made" "The words of the Prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls" Surely the end is near and this shall come to pass. You are doomed. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  6. Based on your posts here, and on Trump's words, I would say that Despicable Donald does come the closest of the candidates to representing you. This actually reflects badly upon both of you. Although if it were up to me I'd probably choose you for POTUS over Trump. At least you are genuine. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  7. Nice. Took me about 10 secs of thinking. Love it. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  8. Me too. They certainly should be able to supply that information. M2 North American Distribution has advised me that they currently do not have that information. But I'd be surprised if it does not become available soon. Those parts should be trackable to the units they were sold with.

  10. Ron has absolutely nothing to lose. He believes he has everything to gain. Or so he says. I believe that deep down in their hearts people who spout this stuff do so because they want it to be true, but know it is not. So they say it over and over in an attempt to keep their spirits and beliefs up. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  11. Yup, she and they will simply have to. What is the alternative? You have the vision to see the coming collapse, but you lack any idea of what happens next. Expanded Medicare, by another name, but that's what it will be. Massive popular federal programs like Medicare and Social Security, and Obama Care don't ever end once started. You know it's true.

  12. John may have a different answer. Mine is that stronger laws like in Canada would require the storing of the handgun in a gun safe. It would not be so easily available to the burglar. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  13. It's fine for Ron to believe in the Jesus myth, and the end times as well. But it does get a little annoying the way he natters on about it here. He's like an Islamist looking for converts. Not much real difference between the promise of eternal reward and the 72 virgin thing. Except that at Ron's age 72 virgins doesn't have that much appeal because what in the hell would he do with them? Which brings up a question I have. If I accept Jesus into my heart as my savior and all that, when I die and go to heaven will I be an old guy like I am now, an even older guy like I probably will be when I die, a young child, an 18 year old, a twenty five year old, do I get to choose?

  14. The best part about this? HRC is going to be the one who ends up fixing it. After the debacle of her first efforts on health care in the 90s the irony is just a thing of beauty. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  15. Well then, now you know. You're welcome. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  16. Pretty sure you are not. But it's pretty easy to see why the original post could be mistaken for a troll. Especially in light of the recent double fatality. Bottom line is there is no such thing as a private tandem rating. Either get a rating or quietly do illegal tandems. Even though you have been around a long time and have lots of experience and assets, you are not special and all the same rules apply to you as to anyone else. I'm amazed that you would even ask the question here. You should know better. You have three options. Do it right, do it wrong, or don't do it. Choice is yours.

  17. Media bias probably. But where I am, every time the KKK is accused of distributing flyers, it always makes the news. Sorry, of course it does. But Ron doesn't post about it. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  18. How come "white power" graffiti doesn't make the news? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  19. Thanks for that. I'll just ignore Nat Geo, Sci American, and all the other mainstream science info I find. I'll choose to believe your "science skeptic" site run by the TV presenter who calls herself "Jo". Because she has a pretty face and therefore MUST be correct.

  20. "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others." Winston S. Churchill The more complete quote: No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."

  21. From the well known alarmist National Geographic: On the pH scale, which runs from 0 to 14, solutions with low numbers are considered acidic and those with higher numbers are basic. Seven is neutral. Over the past 300 million years, ocean pH has been slightly basic, averaging about 8.2. Today, it is around 8.1, a drop of 0.1 pH units, representing a 25-percent increase in acidity over the past two centuries. That is 200 years out of 300 million.

  23. For you, the OPT. A couple reasons. You could use the extra size, and your discipline is FF. They are designed with the possibility of a high speed opening in mind. That and the fact that your rigger would rather pack the OPT. They are really nice to work with. They have a very soft hand (feel), like really nice lingerie. Now you know what I'm thinking about while I handle my customer's nylon. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  24. I can sell you an airworthy Vector V2. There are still many available I think. But they are getting old and tired. From a operator viewpoint Sigmas are the same. But there are packing differences. As you know, the emergency procedures on tandem are very different than on your sport gear. This is the main reason you should keep yourself current if you are going to do tandems. It's not dealing with normal jumps that you need to consider, it's making sure you are prepared to do proper EPs. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  25. What would you need to do? The same thing as anyone else, get a current rating. Money not changing hands, or being married to the passenger are irrelevant. Their lives are worth just as much as regular commercial student passengers. Start by contacting the manufacturer of the rig you would like to buy.
