Here in Vermont we have both open carry and concealed carry with no permit required. But it's against the law to have a loaded rifle in your car. It's to protect the deer herd!
Growing up, a lot of us would go to school, then go hunting. It was very common to see trucks in the parking lot with guns in the back windows. There was never a threat of gun violence and if someone had tried... God help them! We only had two police officers in the town, so you'd have been facing well-armed teenagers who knew how to use a gun!
Good point.
I do. And I've taught them things that I hope they carry through the rest of their lives. First among those is the Golden Rule, something you might want to look into. And also that happiness is a choice and they're responsible for their own.
I do what needs to be done.
Not since we divorced.
Good. **** 'em. Who needs compassion, empathy, seeing other's perspectives, or neighborly relations when you have padlocks and quickcrete.
You should just ignore me and keep doing what you've been doing. No point getting angry about nonsense on the Internet. Maybe since what you have been doing is working so well for you up to this point, you should double down and escalate the conflict.
Yup. Was getting the plane ready for Daytona last year. 2 days before I left. Hydrogen peroxide and activated charcoal within 30 mins. Luckily my friends wife is a vet, but still needed to do bloodwork. The worst was there's 2 different types of rodenticide. One is a blood thinner. The other attacks the central nervous system. Blood thinner is "better" as you can give the dog vitamin K to reverse the anti-coagulant. Well, he had both there and they look pretty identical so no way to tell. She usually spits stuff out when she chews, but some green stuff made it down. The dude just left the bait blocks out randomly.
Funny how it's implied that these things should only go one direction.
Winner here - new best practice
And you're not a fan of people leaving hangar doors open...
Not should, but frequently do in situations like this. Indeed, that's often times the hardest part for people to be ok with, myself included. You can choose to have empathy, or not, but you can't force it on others, no matter how hard you try. The amazing thing though is that even when it's only unilateral, everyone is usually better off.
Not sure we agree on the definition of empathy. I always look at it as when someone can't help / has little no choice in what happened. No empathizing for being being full on dickbags. We actually have in the hangar lease agreement, no leaving hangar doors open even if just going around the patch.
I have a feeling that you, more than most, prefer when other people close their hangar doors...
This. If my neighbor was an 80 year old guy that couldn’t close his door without help, I’d be all over helping him and wouldn’t think twice about fixing his door or closing his hangar
No, we should all shake our fists at clouds.
That's pretty much how everyone took it though. And I'm not even a boomer.
Just at heart

Okay since there's some disagreement. Let me expand.
But where would the entertainment value of this thread be if we all just shut the door someone else opened?
I should have empathy for people who ignore polite requests to act in a responsible manner and discourteously require me to correct their selfish behavior? It's my fault if I get irritated and escalate the issue with the management of the airport?
if you're flying 3 - 5 times a day, why are you putting it back every time? Just leave it on the ramp. That's what we did at the flight school. Came out in the morning, went back in the afternoon/evening.
I don't know the situation. Maybe the aircraft owner doesn't allow that. Just trying to see things from a different angle.
If you put yourself in his shoes, do you become a douche? That's what seeems to be happening in some of these responses.
@SoonerAviator is a boomer.
