    Corona is a major over-reaction designed by the Democrats as a last-ditch effort to harm President Trump

    Initially I was skeptical, but now I'm seriously starting to think this thread title is 100% accurate.

    He’s Nuts – New York City Mayor de Blasio Wants $7.4 Billion Bailout

    DiBloviate at his best. It's always someone else's responsibility to foot the bill for the LibProgTard mismanagement and squandering that passes for economic policy.

    What gun laws do you support.

    I do not support a ban on civilian ownership of machine guns. If you can buy it, feed it and have sufficient self control not to commit crimes then let 'er rip. I also feel that taxation applied to an enumerated right is very clear infringement of said right.

    What gun laws do you support.

    I'm not a complicated person. OP's question was "What gun laws do you support?", and my statement is my baseline answer. No thought was given to current statutory infringements in the making of this answer =) And just a note as to Criticalt's statement.... these characters mentioned, in a just...

    What gun laws do you support.

    Firearms laws are infringement upon the 2nd Amendment. Full stop.

    NYC Prisoner Released Over Coronavirus Fears Beats & Robs Elderly Man

    If they're looking for vigilantism to resurface, this is a good way to do it. Keep letting the convicts walk free to perpetrate more crimes, and eventually someone's going to get fed up and inflict some lead poisoning. Though I think perhaps a better deterrent would be the old "long drop and...

    Home Invasion Crew Picks Wrong House

    My grandfather kept multiple loaded firearms around his home and office. The only one I ever knew about was the Ithaca pump behind his office door. Before he passed away he told his sons "There are lots more and they're all loaded. Pay attention cleaning out the house.". Every one of us...

    Sorry about the employees but screw the employer

    Future business plan following move to free(er) state! Though I suspect state liquor licensing may object to the presence of the A and F components together.

    Gov. Cuomo to sign executive order to take ventilators from upstate hospitals

    On the face of it, I don't think any of us are truly against moving resources where most needed. However, given the finer context of this situation (namely who is saying this, and his past performances), you can likely bank on 3 things. 1. The equipment will not be returned to the source area...

    SHTF Communications

    It's a tool, it has varied applications, and you're free to use or not use it. If you're going to avail yourself of it, at least learn about the tools you're using and get any needed licenses, just as you would expect from a firearms user. Keep in mind that access to radio spectrum is not a...

    what BaoFeng should i be looking for now ??

    P25 can be decoded with an SDR (or two if listening to a trunking system) and a tolerable PC. It's the standard for public safety, as digital protocols go. I've got a few (well, 7) P25 handsets, but since nobody around here is using P25 on UHF, I haven't gotten the chance to play with them...

    what BaoFeng should i be looking for now ??

    The unlicensed digital bit you're thinking of is probably ISM (Industrial, Scientific & Medical). Frequencies range from 6 MHz to 24 GHz, applications are short range communications typically. Your wireless network is one example, Motorola's DTR series of business radios run on ISM 900MHz at 1...

    Rhode Island Governor orders troopers to intercept NY residents

    As of five minutes ago, it appears that RI has extended their operations to all out of state vehicles. Stopping at borders and non essential travelers are being turned around or if proceeding being ordered to self quarantine. Saw on local Fox affiliate.

    Dems Secretly Discussing Surprise Candidate to Take Nomination from Biden at Convention

    Trump won't be facing down Biden. I'm certain the DNC will scuttle him before too long. Unless he's the vehicle to shoehorning Hillary in, that is.

    Long Island East Ender

    East Moriches eh? I'm from Eastport originally. Welcome to the craziness.

    What are my options as a Long Islander in the current Carona Crisis.

    The duration of time you're going to be in borough limits is not enough to panic about, the traffic levels are very low, and unless you're planning on stopping, you'll be out of NYC in 30 minutes. Do what @Airborneguy said, don't stop, and don't stand out, and the issue will be over very...

    Broome county exec closes bus station

    I know nothing about medical transport, but in the article he's expressing opposition to such action saying that we don't have enough resources, PPE, tests and such. Curious to see how this plays out.

    Broome county exec closes bus station

    Are they positioning NY Governor Andrew Cuomo to exit the DNC convention as the consensus nominee; the chosen one?

    He's certainly getting drooled over in local media and on Fakebook lately. I hope he runs against Trump and gets absolutely annihilated.

    Damn truck drivers delivering in a pandemic and stuff

    Bay Parkway isn't a great place to park. Hours of service regs are temporarily lifted, I would get clear of the boroughs before going to sleep. Also it's largely residential and the whiners complain about everything.

    De Blasio wants the military in NYC

    I'll be in Rego Park tomorrow. Don't expect anything different, hopefully fewer people out and about. I'm not going to be walking about though, just handing my paperwork over and waiting in the truck.

    what BaoFeng should i be looking for now ??

    There are NMO magnetic mounts, and bracket mounts also. I'm partial to the drill-through kind but I have to say I'd be nervous doing it on a vehicle I paid more than $1500 for.
  31. Jsmegs77

    what BaoFeng should i be looking for now ??

    For antennas especially NMO mounts for vehicles, I would pick Larsen or Laird. They're proven, quality gear and not much more expensive than the Chinesium Tram/Browning stuff.

    Highly recommend Hamstudy app. Very helpful, lets you see where you need work. As far as radios not made in China, sure there are but the price differential is significant. Also, they're likely to be high end amateur rigs, or commercial radios with all the limitations that attend (single band...

    Do you need a new gun? You may have some extra cash soon.

    There are a few guns in the classifieds here I'd like to snag. The necessities are accounted for, so any unforeseen surplus goes straight into bolstering the equipage of the Rooftop Scotsman Brigade (Can't let the Koreans have all the fun!). Also, optics and ammo...

    GOA turns the tables and applies for a Red Flag order against shumer

    Out of those several groups of people, 2 are third party. And yes, it's a publicity stunt, with an intended purpose of illustrating the ridiculous nonsense that are the various red flag laws.

    Howard Dean Lashes Out at Rep. Elise Stefanik after She Is threatened while shopping

    Dean is an irrelevant mouth breather. Pretty sure Rep. Stefanik isn't out scurrying up to the cars of people with opposing political views and leaving rude notes. She did quite a bit of confrontation in person, in public, which is a far cry from weaseling about with notes on cars. Also, Rep...

    Xanax - good or bad with Unsafe Act rules

    I strongly recommend a PDR, if one is planning to become more acquainted with pharmaceuticals you may be prescribed. Particularly interesting are the contraindications, drug interactions and potential side effects.

    Xanax - good or bad with Unsafe Act rules

    I appreciate a good reductio ad absurdum as much as the next guy, but you're reaching a bit here. Within the context of this discussion, my line about chemical assistants could and should be construed to mean the type of medications the original poster was inquiring about. Big pharma creates...

    Xanax - good or bad with Unsafe Act rules

    I can only speak as to my choices for my body. In that context, the answer is very nearly all of them. I will take Ibuprofen for pain, loratidine for seasonal allergies, amoxicillin or similar for an infection. Outside of that list and a very small handful of other random remedies, anything else...

    Xanax - good or bad with Unsafe Act rules

    I am firmly in the no-chemical-assistants camp (mind you this is my body, what fits me may not fit you, and and all that schlock). I have been advised repeatedly that I should take Xanax, Cymbalta, and friends, for anxiety mostly. I have family and friends who have had a hell of a time coming...

    Level three sex offender who trespassed at nursery school released without bail

    The thing is, there are a lot of edge cases where this may not apply. If I were a single dad of one child, for example, the equation would be considerably different. At that point I would have little or nothing to lose or live for, and thus would be very much inclined toward retribution.

    Level three sex offender who trespassed at nursery school released without bail

    We just haven't hit the breakpoint for the vendetta and/or vigilantism to really resurface yet. I could see it happening, though, and sooner than later with the bail reform nonsense. The major sticking point to such corrective actions is the "justice system", that will go through hell and high...

    11-year-old girl brings loaded AR-15 to gun legislation hearing in Idaho

    My brother lives in Idaho. Their days are numbered, they're gonna go the same way as Colorado, due to the influx of lib-prog-tard Oregon, Washington and California residents. Might be a while, but there's definitely a trend, especially in some of the border areas and university towns.

    Property Seized, Money Taken - No Charges Filed (Michigan)

    NJ has had this reputation FOREVER, at least among truck drivers and other people who spend a lot of time on the road and may occasionally have large amounts of cash on them. Far as I'm concerned, civil asset forfeiture is theft, grand larceny or similar. The only instance I could potentially...

    Riccelli, huh? I haven't seen them hauling trash under that name for a while. Ever since Santaro got bought out by MBI, anyway. Doesn't surprise me they're out of Flushing, at all. Shell company upon shell company, pretty sure they're all upstanding individuals and this operation is getting...
