I have a NYS Sport/ Recreation handgun permit and carry in the field when hunting. My question is if I go back to my truck and I am going to another hunting location, or if i am traveling to my hunting camp (around 2 hours away) can I carry my revolver loaded in my holster? Where does the...

I am just going to leave this here... http://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2017/10/23/response-far-right-rochester-lgbtq-gun-group-hits-firing-line/790294001/

If you are working HF, might want to look at a mag loop antenna. I have one i use for short wave listening, is compact for traveling and works very well 25w transmit limit.

I have had the same conversation with reps from the NRA when they call me. I said i will start my membership up again when they put boots on the ground in NY. I told them I would rather support my local SCOPE chapter that gives a crap about the rights of NYer's.

From the CBS article Officials: 3 dead, 2 injured in Edgewood, Maryland workplace shooting "Prince has a criminal history, Gahler said. CBS Baltimore reports he was charged multiple times in Delaware with burglary, with being a felon in possession of a firearm in Cecil County, Md., and has had...

Don't get me wrong i have a Beofeng like everyone else, it actually always on my local fire ems dispatch frequency serving as a scanner. It has been programmed via CHIRP to all FRS GMRS MURS frequencies as well as NOAA stations. I also have a shortwave radio with mag loop antenna and have...

I was an avid NFL viewer, used to consume my entire Sunday. I still keep track of my local team but i do not watch the games. I still love the sport but this political BS with the players has soured it for me.

The Las Vegas story just doesn't add up to me. There are two many conflicting reports and timelines. I am not sure motives etc but it is hard to believe that this guy just flew under the radar and had no outside help. I do hope that true facts are brought to light. As for the fat perv, he...

Background checks will not stop the deranged or determined....never have, never will. When Las Vegas first happened and i heard there were over 20k people at that concert, the first thing I thought was that although tragic, its a good thing only guns were used....

Done

Comms prepping has consumed most of my 2017. Although i thought about getting my Ham license, i don't need my name on another list. I have gone with the 11 meter CB route and to be honest I am very surprised with how many people still use CB. My original thought was to have a solid none cell...

Some good ideas were tossed around back on this older thread: Get Home Bag I always leaned toward the idea of going were everyone else wasn't going. Roads bridges etc would be backed as everyone tried to get out or north. What i would do in that situation would be to rent a small storage...

I think they are a threat, their ideology alone is enough cause for concern. The methods they use should have already placed them in the domestic terrorist category but the left/media cant and wont allow that. Groups of mass hysterical persons have posed danger in the past they are no...

Handfitted 1911 for $230...beat that Knighthawk!

The generator i list is both Gas and LP, and it is both 120 and 240...

Nice site, beats me checking Home depot and then going back to tractor supply, etc!

Finally looking to pull the trigger on a new genny, i am looking at this one: Champion Power Equipment 100296 7500 Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator with Electric Start at Tractor Supply Co. In a blackout situation i need to run 2 fridges, 2 freezers, 2 sump pumps, my comms, and my water...

Keep in mind some other options that would be helpful in a short term event Urban Survival - Emergency Water Sources I never thought of the hot water tank but its on my radar now...also sump pump holes as well!

Got two ponds/ swamps behind the house, plus one of these: Big Berkey™ Water Filter System with 2 Black Berkey™ Filters With some spare filters already good to go!

Good over view, i am a big proponent of night sights on my handguns as well.

Let's hope the rest of Washington takes this seriously...but i doubt it!

Just came across this site, seems like a sound concept. Not just a ham network but a radio network utilizing FRS GMRS CB and HAM's to create a disaster radio comm network https://amrron.com/about/

I saw an advertisement for the Rugged Radio RM 50....looks pretty neat, cb uhf vhf Ham all in one with removable head and mounts. This might fit the needs of many. RM50 50-Watt Remote Head Multi Band Radio [RM50-MB] : Rugged Radios:

I am happy with my golden eye sdr, it works reasonably well with free software to do basic scanning operations. Have also hooked it up to my android phone and it has worked well there as well. I am struggling to get the thing to scan and interpret P25 channels but all in all for 50 bucks its...

I have an old colman propane stove with two burners that came in real handy during the power outage two weeks ago. I also have a Jetboil in by BOB! perfect for heating up a Mountain House meal when in the back country or out hunting all day.

Still out at my house in LeRoy, part of the town back on but half remains out (Gilbert and Main Mess) I may be out for another 48 hours....

"Would you like to play aaa game?"....

Got my SDR up and running, its pretty nice going through the different frequencies and exploring around. Pretty neat. I still have to dabble with getting into the P25 scanning but i am confident i can figure it out. There are a lot of online resources.

Sweet set up!

This guy should just "identify" as Amish...then they will have to let him off, then he can sue the government for oppressing his religious views

Which one did you end up getting? I got the goldeneye. Do you have a pic of your set up?

I ran across the below article on the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan and how after 6 years this remains highly radioactive and the clean up has about stalled due to the high levels...Even robots used to help clean up are shutting down after a few hours due to the radiation. Fukushima...

I am going to be dabbling with some software defined radio shortly, i got my new rig from: Purchase It is just a receiver and i do not know a lot about code but i will report back on my findings.

Just goes to show, you can't take that bullet back once its shot...this doesn't help the cause at all.

I have seen this advertised before, looks neat but i would need to know how it holds up long term.

He has a point here, with nukes buttons need to be pushed and that can stop. When a super bug is in the populous there is no turning off the threat. As far as the threat coming from terrorism, i think a scarier scenario would be a mishap at a government lab (CDC). The cover up/ and delays...

If this was going on it would not surprise me. Some other news outlets are reporting the opposite. http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-live-updates-oroville-dam-no-looting-reported-after-mass-1486966403-htmlstory.htm But then again...sounds like some are taking advantage Verify: Is...

Honestly it lasted longer than i thought. LOL. NY Gun Forum should have made a squares contest on how long this would have lasted....we will know for next time!

100% Justified, thank you again to all LEO's who protect us.

I have no data to support you, but I feel the same way....I always just keep in the back of my mind, 3 days. Three days after SHTF and those not prepared will wish they did.

Maximizing profits is the motivation on any company, utilities are no different. There are penalties from the government on utilities if power is not restored promptly and if a scheduled outage goes over. But there is little incentive for a utility do much more than maintain the status quo on...

No worries GoPerfect, I think we are actually in agreement with the issue, it is a problem and a potential life threatening game changer to the country. For utilities to stay economically viable they unfortunately have to maintain a band-aid type approach to the grid. Over the last few years...

Very condescending statement, of course i know what the power grid is and what the effects would be. There are several previous post in similar threads were i expound on the issue. I work in the industry. But to say they should do this and should do that is unrealistic. The grid has been...

Simple answer is cost cost cost, utilities need to make money, they do that by charging customers and buying replacements, parts infrastructure at the lowest possible price. Basic capitalism, problem is that there is no incentive for utilities to prepare for a grid down situation. To be...

Sounds like a fun trip, stay safe up there!
