QuoteYou need to get a life. Find a web site that in about something you have done and quit trolling sites that you may read a book on. You have been doing the same thing on at least 2 other sites and I am sure they are tired of it.

1) I don't need your permission to post here.
2) I'm not the one launching personal attacks. and you might want to look up "trolling" because I'm pretty sure that posting my opinion doesn't qualify as trolling.
3) Your obsession with me is starting to get a little weird. Perhaps, you should be the one "getting a life" if you feel you need to stalk me across different internet sites and forums.It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here. -
QuoteThat guy is a moron. It may be his right to open carry, but he is open carrying a unloaded handgun which serves no purpose for self defense, and he is obviously trolling for trouble.
Personally I am not a big fan of open carry. I don't draw attention when I am carrying my handgun. I don't scare little old ladies, and I have the element of suprise if I even needed it. I also have way less risk of some one grabbing my gun.

QuoteIf the impact makes you cringe , you should see the whole video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha-l2qCbFms&feature=youtu.be
From taking the pilot off jump run and spotting the load down wind , being more concerned with getting cool shots with his gopro than jump-mastering the load , some very dodgy looking freefall , then trying to land so close to the trailer that he didnt have space or height to turn into wind ( if he didnt try to turn into wind he would have got little more than scratches from a fast crosswind landing and his arm would still work )
What happens after though is even scarier , the ground crew take off his helmet , rig and jumpsuit , and sit him up ( very roughly ) After the impact he took and being out cold for 15seconds and not knowing what happened , he should never have been moved .
Also a good example of repetitive questioning from a head injury and altered level-of-consciousness.It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here. -
QuoteSince you have never made a skydive maybe you should go back to your virtual SCUBA site.

Or maybe the wantabe pilot site.

Wow, yet another personal attack! Why don't you grow up?
Since you brought it up, the SCUBA site is actually www.divecomputertraining.com. It's a pretty neat site where you can take classes online to learn how to use and try out real dive computers. The classes are recognized by SCUBA organizations like PADI and SSI.
Have you never heard of the Spice Girls? It's spelled W-A-N-N-A-B-E!
Since I've been a pilot since 1993, I don't consider myself a WANNABE pilot. LiveATC is actually yet another interesting site where you can listen to live aviation radio traffic around the world and/or recordings of incidents or just funny things people say. They even have a forum, imagine that, a website with a forum, bet you've never heard of a website with one of those before, have you?It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here. -
QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteQuotedo you know a DZ who have his own ambulance whith intensive care and medics and paramedics full time?
What DZO or airport manager is going to be stupid enough to give a bunch of skydivers full-time access to a van with bright-flashing strobe lights and a siren that "WAILs" and "YELPs" so that they can go joyriding up and down the runway between lifts?
Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen!
Who said they would have the keys?
Pretty simple: You don't touch the wambulance, it could be the thing that keeps you alive when you would otherwise die.
Right! That's like telling skydivers not to drink beer!
No, thats like telling skydivers to not fuck with the emergency equipment. Keep the van locked, keys in the DZO, S&TA and manifest pockets, nobody needs to touch it.
Okay, since trying to be lighthearted about this isn't working for you and you need to be the proverbial wet blanket, let's seriously discuss the implications of a DZO having an ambulance, shall we?
Since I worked as a full-time EMT for an ambulance company for three years while I was in college and an additional three years after that working in a hospital, I feel I have some experience with the issue of prehospital and emergency room medical treatment.
First of all, ambulances, like all emergency service vehicles, have a certain image that causes people to get excited and behave differently. In the ambulance company I worked for, there was an EMT who had to have the soundtrack to the movie Top Gun blasting on the stereo whenever he was responding to a call. Another EMT took his girlfriend out for a joyride in one of the ambulances one night and ended up flipping the ambulance on its side while illegally running "Code 3" through a red light. Another EMT made a stop by his apartment to pick something up, and without thinking tried to park the ambulance in his carport which took out quite a bit of the top of the box. It's easy to keep the unauthorized people from driving the ambulance, it's the authorized people that have to have the self-restraint not to reach up, start flipping switches, and start showing off, which is a lot harder than it sounds. A dropzone is the perfect situation for something like that to start.
Second, the DZO would be responsible for ensuring that the ambulance is staffed by two certified EMT-B's at a minimum just to provide Basic Life Support (BLS) services. We'll come back to that in a minute. Not only would the two crew members need to be EMT-B's but they would also have to have Ambulance Driver's Licenses which would require fingerprinting, background checks, and bi-annual medical exams. And the DZO would have to make sure that the ambulance is stocked with all the required medical equipment, oxygen, and is registered with the local EMS agency, usually the county. Not to mention also having to pay the vehicle insurance and medical liability insurance.
Third, becoming an EMT-B takes about a year (2 semesters of college) The first semester it to meet the training prerequisites by taking a one semester Advanced First Aid course which is normally a three unit class; followed the next semester by a double class (5-6 units) for EMT training which also has ambulance ride-a-long and emergency room observation requirements.
Fourth, since I doubt the DZO is going to pay EMTs to sit around, he's going to have to have trained staff members and/or be at the mercy of certified volunteers who he's responsible for.
Fifth, so far this has all been just to provide Basic Life Support service. Here's the problem, patients come in three varieties: Mild, Moderate, and Acute.
"Mild" means no suspected threat to life or limb.
"Moderate" means suspected threat to life or limb.
"Acute" means apparent threat to life or limb.
A BLS ambulance is in reality only going to transport a "Mild" status patient, especially a skydiving or plane crash trauma victim. Any "Moderate" or "Acute" status patients are still going to require a 911 call for an Advanced Life Support (ALS) response with Paramedics (EMT-P) or Nurses (MICN). This isn't up to the DZO or the EMTs, this has to do with medical protocols. So, basically, the DZO is spending quite a bit of money on something that they're going to have to pick up a phone for anyway, for free.
Sixth, there is no way that any DZO is going to be able to support an ALS ambulance of their own. For example, in California there's a 24-hour service rule for ALS providers, which means that the DZO would have to have an ALS ambulance on-call 24 hours-a-day. It's not going to happen!
So what's the most ideal solution? A first responder team of people trained in Advanced First Aid and having basic emergency medical equipment on site.
The "Mild" patients can get immediate treatment for sprains, lacerations, contusions, dislocations, and possibly even minor fractures and then be transported to the hospital by private vehicle if necessary.
The "Moderate" and "Acute" patients can get CPR/Airway Management, treatment for shock, spinal stabilization, bleeding control, splinting, burn care, and pretty much most other BLS care while ALS is responding.
And all at the fraction of the cost of an ambulance for the DZO and, therefore, the paying skydivers.It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here. -

1) The male pimp was in his backseat
2) The lady outside the passenger window is a known whore
3) He tried multiple tims to tell the cop that he had a gun and CCW.
4) The initial stop was justified (see numbers 1 and 2)
5) In Ohio you must inform an officer that you are carrying with a CCW.
7) The cop was outraged when he "realized" that the subject had a gun w/o informing the officers. But see #3. With that said, the basis for the cop's reaction to him "not informing" is hogwash. Watch the video again.

"Right now, the shit that you just pulled, I could blast you right in the mouth...I am so close to caving in your goddamn head"
It's not a threat of execution.
I'm still waiting to hear why you think the cop threatening to cave the guys head in
is not a death threat.
Because I don't take it literally, I seriously doubt he meant it literally either and even if he did, he said he was close to, not going to.
Let me ask you this, have you never used the phrase, "I'm going to kill you" as hyperbole?
This cop doesn't have probable cause of ANY crime other than being stopped in the road, and even that's questionable.
I also have a duty to show my driver's license, registration, and insurance to an officer. Would the officer be justified in threatening to cave my head in if I didn't show it to him fast enough?
This cop's nothing but an arrogant a-hole who probably doesn't think that private citizens, other than himself, should be allowed to have guns.It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here. -

Not to mention, the cop used the word "execute" to describe his own threat.
On top of that, the cop told the girl that if he saw her again he'd "give her lumps." That's clearly a threat as well.
This cop clearly deserves to be fired, it's a shame that charges against him probably won't be filed though.It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here. -

First, the cat is supposed to be tossed out first, then the jumpers chase it.
Second, I'm pretty sure it is cheating to cover the cat's paws ...takes the sport out of it.
