You see what I mean, you hurl personal insults because you cant stay up in a discussion. It doesn't matter to me what you think. This is the internet and you are nothing but words on a screen. Its entertainment at this point.
Wait... wait.. wait... You are making a joke about my job, and you...
Unless they see you as a threat for one reason or another. They aren't going to give you the chance to pull the gun, they are going to make sure they are safe and the people around are safe.
When rights get abused, they are taken. Im sure the founding fathers did not view the future to be full of robbery, rape, and murder. They did not envision that for America. But it is how it turned out in some ways.
When people take rights for granted and use those rights for destructive...
And you know what they say about assumptions.
Go back and read what you wrote.
Before you would even have the chance to pull your weapon, you would see he was an officer. Then if you tried to pull your weapon, you would end up in cuffs (hopefully) or God forbid he or another officer pull...
Absolutely! Why lower yourself to their level? Making yourself feel like a tough guy and thinking you are teaching someone a lesson does no good. Your words or actions will only fuel the fire and cause more problems. You can't control what someone else does, but you CAN control yourself.
Why...
Then you understand me perfectly. You understand exactly what I am saying. If your private life or past has crime, substance abuse, mental issues, and violence in it, then no, you should not be allowed to own, or even touch, a firearm. You should have that right taken from you for the safety of...
No, I don't think they are better than the average person. They are just people who have a job as a police officer. And like EVERYONE else, they deserve respect until they prove otherwise. And even if they don't give it to you, you don't need to be the fool who shoot his mouth off. Do you think...
Yes, it is a right. But again, some should not have that right. But we were not discussing rights and privileges.
Society does not say everyone is not qualified. Where did this even come from? Im saying that some people slip through the cracks are are allowed to carry a gun that should not be...
You are correct. If you learn to use the E6B, it is really quick to do calculations. Much quicker, in my opinion, than using an electronic toy from Sportys. It is something every pilot should be required to maintain proficiency with. I have never had to use it as a backup yet, but I can if I...
I remember when I interviewed for my first airline job, there were guys in there talking about flying 10 or more different types of aircraft. He boasted 10 hours of Citation time. They did a panel technical interview and did 4 pilots at a time. Ill never forget the look on his face when he could...
That is the difference between you and I. I give respect to everyone until they prove that they don't deserve my respect. And even then, I won't go out of my way to be disrespectful to them nor do I shoot my mouth off. I am a better man than that. I will just be done with them and walk away...
It may be worthless to you, but it is a check. And yes, it does depend on honesty. The good thing is that now you have to have a US passport to train. You wont be faking that! Its sad that 9/11 had to happen for them to require proof of citizenship, but whats done is done.
I think they are...
Im not going to argue it with you. You are wrong.
When it gets to OKC your NDR record is pulled and you are run through a federal system. That is how it works.
Money seems to be the major limiting factor for most people in aviation. I have not rented in years. I called around a few days ago to find out about getting current in single engine aircraft again because I am buying an airplane and have not flown a single engine in probably 10 years. I could...
Were you trying to say something constructive or did you just want to see yourself type?
Again... childish comments. If you want to hold a discussion, do so in an educated manor. Don't act like a teenager, it just makes you look ignorant.
The background check for a weekend pilot is much like the check for a handgun license. The background a professional pilot goes through is much more thorough.
I am I for constitutional rights. What I am NOT ok with is someone who is of questionable moral character or mental stability being...
And for some people, questions get raised. And those have to be resolved first.
When people apply for a security clearance, the process is supposed to be quick. But when they run it and something odd comes up, it has to be checked. A security clearance doesn't even mean you will have access to...
