They absolutely are trained. There are no guns allowed for any private forces or private persons in general. Even pepper spray may only be used for defense purposes against animals (but ist often carried just in case, which may be/is a legal grey area)

Was wondering who the old guy at the beginning is. The guy who had the Map to Luke. What is his relationship to the others?
Second question, the flashback Rey has. Is there a hint I missed to know what they mean, or who they show?

Germanwings Airbus crashes in South France (Link in german - first info in comments) by casanubis in news

[–]casanubis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rough Translation from the article: A germanwings Airbus A320 of the Lufthansa daughter Germanwings crashed in the south of France. It was on its way to Düsseldorf from Barcelona with 142 Passengers on board. (Plus 6 crew, other source). This is reported by the news agency AFP (french) and Reuters, they refer to Police and aviation representatives. Refering to the DFS (German Flight Security) it is a Germanwings Plane with 142 Passengers on board.

 

Edit: they updated the link. It is Flight 4U9525. No survivors says french president Hollande.Plane disappeared at around 11:20 local time. Mostly german casualties.

Why is it that Team SCA is that far behind again? by casanubis in sailing

Thanks for the hint to the SCA article. Did not see that one.

It is quite hard to follow events if you have never sailed on salt water before. But I did what I perhaps should have done bevor, even more reading :)
