Nice!! Who did you decide to use or the transfer?

Most commercial and LEO helicopter pilots are former military. Helicopters are expensive to fly so it's hard to accumulate flight hours needed for those jobs without being taught on the government dime. He'll be well equipped for a life of flying if he so chooses. Remember state troopers and most large county Sheriffs dept have at least one helicopter and a couple dedicated pilots.

Can we at least stop saying anus!

First off how'd you get the rifle on the plane? If you shoot, from a stationary point, at the instant the plane passes they will travel side by side until the bullet looses energy and falls. What if you are in the cockpit and shoot towards the tail. That means in relation to the earth the bullet would be standing still, again assuming the bullet and plane are traveling at exactly the same speed.

NATO pussies don't want to hurt anyone during a war. I think we should use rubber bullets from here on out.

I think Zimmerman will eventually walk. I believe he is an aggressive person that actively sought out people during his neighborhood watch duties. He called 911, 46 times, prior to Treyvon. But all that said I don't think he's guilty of 2nd degree murder, or even manslaughter. I also heard that the original investigation from the Sanford police recommended a manslaughter charge and the DA didn't think there was enough evidence to convict. Then steps in the "Special Ed" prosecutor who throws out 2nd degree.

A forensics expert who read the actual autopsy said that it's believed due to unburnt powder on Treyvon the gun was between 2&6 inches away falling in the intermediate range.

Seems of charges are filed, the guy who forced his way into his friends home should be charged.

Exactly. If it helps y'all sleep at night to vote Paul, then go ahead. I think for every Paul vote on this forum there is at least 2 ABO votes

I use 230 gn Winchester White Box FMJ for target practice. I've even used Tula but it makes cleaning a pain as its pretty dirty. I use Hornady FTX 230 gn for defense. I shot about 60 rnds of FTX to make sure it was reliable and haven't shot any since. I store only FMJ in bulk since I've started reloading. The way I see it, FMJ is effective just not as much as hollow points. Hell the Military uses only round ball ammo, so it must be at least moderately successful.

Nevermind, I read it correctly this time. Piston Rings. With major repairs I'm hesitant to use some smaller shops that may due just fine, buy I prefer a nice well presented shop, and that's what I found at A&I. But in the end I may end up paying more for the same job

No I didn't. However a scheduled service for an 08 Mercedes is ridiculous. We were charged over $400 in knoxville, and A&I charged $100 for the same service. It wouldn't hurt to get an estimate. What's your major malfunction?

Right, but not in this thread. So I didn't get the " here we go again". He should have said "well this is new"

What do you mean, he was giving the store a compliment.

I've used American & Import autos off w market in Johnson City, Tn. http://www.americanandimportautorepair.com/ I'm not sure how they compare price wise, but they treated me well and did good work in our Mercedes.

I'm sure there will be plenty of embellishment, but hopefully will stay true to the story somewhat. Kind of like Wyatt Earp vs Tombstone. Both good but the first is more factual.

Yeah yeah. Can't edit typos once submitted

As a born and raised West Virginian I have always loved this story and found it intriguing. The History Channel had a 3 day mini-series stating Kevin Costner and Bill Paxon. It looks good, but I'll tune in to see.

Garbage, I wouldn't own one. Why don't you give it to me for proper disposal Kidding if course. That's awesome.

I agree, not gonna happen, but good movie. I grew up LOVING Dances with Wolves. And thought that was my favorite Costner role, until I saw Open Range.

I feel your pain brother. I got married in July 2010, 2 weeks later my wife move 100 miles away to start med school. I've been searching for jobs the last two years but with no luck, at least nothing with benefits and enough salary to support two people. not seeing your spouse is tough to deal with. Here to you getting a job and bettering you family life. Prays to ya.

I've only got 41, I must not post enough profound thoughts.

I've been befuddled by this story myself. It seems clear cut, Stand your ground. But in Florida you have a special hearing and if that judge doesn't feel it's stand your ground, then you can't use that in your defense at trial. Seems ridiculous. I guess the moral of the story is just shoot the man and she'd be free. Even if she is guilty if discharging the gun, 20 years is a ludicrous sentence.
