PSA is a hypocrital company. They knock Dick's for their policy, yet they won't ship ammo to NYS. There are other ammo vendors that will at least ship to a NY FFL, PSA won't even do that. So PSA, Dick's and Cheaper Than Dirt don't get any business from me. There are many other vendors that...

They should be tarred and feathered, and afterwards I'm sure they would fully support firearms possession.

I wonder why it's no longer appropriate to tar and feather politicians, either at the local or national level. I think if a couple of them were tarred and feathered, they might realize that their actions have real consequences.

It looks like he got some shots off at them too. The video shows why weapon retention is so important. The ladies did an amazing job!

I think the article is full of shit. Medications will be the biggest issue and it's not an age dependent issue anymore. Medications shouldn't be an issue, since most can be ordered on-line. We've stocked needed meds, enough for multiple years. And there are natural equivalents for many meds...

The cable is the most likely cause of the problem, it's been reported many times. Also, make sure you're using the latest version of Chirp.

In the interest of personal privacy you might not want to publicize your callsign on the internet. Just saying.....

Well basic night vision is better than nothing. I have a couple sets of the Spynet NVD's which are for loaning out. I've found them to be adequate; better than nothing, which is why I mentioned them. For folks that are cash strapped, it's an alternative to cobbling something together. I have...

Actually, you'd be better off picking up a pair of Spynet kids night vision goggles, as they would have similar performance. You can get working units for around $50 on eBay: SpyNet Night Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles Binoculars Jakks Pacific | eBay They are definitely first generation...

The internet was originally designed for the military, so there are multiple redundancies. It was designed to keep working even if major links were interrupted. The only way it'll go down long term is if a major power interruption occurs, which would take out the core routers. Short term...

I don't see a disaster scenario either. There may be regional outages, but the topography of the internet provides resiliency, so any outages would be localized. There's no internet kill switch here in the U.S., and with around 8000 internet service providers, it would be difficult to put them...

Like I said, it would be a first world problem. Lots of countries function without a dependence upon the internet. It's a convenience, not a necessity. Yup, the just in time delivery system would be mucked up, so commerce and industry would need to drop down into a lower gear, and go manual...

WTF, why is this even under survival , prepping etc.? Only snowflakes and millennials NEED the internet. You can't survive without apps and social media? Over half the earth's population doesn't have access to the internet. Lack of internet is a first world problem.

I don't see the internet or cell phones as a necessity. I have a couple of cell phones, and I can't remember when was the last time that I turned one of them on. Cell phone coverage in my AO is very spotty, so there's no dependence on them, they're a convenience, just like the internet. I'm...

Well I had originally heard it was going to be around $900, but the folks at the PSA booth say it's going to be closer to $1000. It is a super deal, especially if it's going to be made in the U.S., but I'm not sure about that. Hopefully by Q1 of 2019 I'll be residing in a State with more...

Palmetto State Armory is producing a MP-5 clone in Q1 of 2019. They're shooting for a $1000 price tag. I had a friend confirm it at SHOT show.

It is nice having a third "hand". I don't use it very often, but when I need it, I need it.

A Barrett model 99 is the way to go. I still need to mount a scope on mine... maybe this weekend.

I have a number of the UV-5R's and I haven't had any problem with them thus far. However, I'm not surprised by the charger issue, especially with the cheap price and Chinese manufacturer. I still consider these to be disposable radios. I use them exclusively as loaner radios, or radios that...

There's always the ATN X-Sight which can be used day or night. I've looked through one at a gun shop, and it seemed decent. I've got a Yukon NV scope on one of my carbines, and it performs okay. I believe it's called the varmint hunter and it was made in Belarus and came with a lifetime...

Tennessee for me in 2018!

Six so far...

I'll have to do some shockwave experiments with my Barrett M99, though at $3.50 shot it gets expensive. I can't imagine carrying it very far for hunting. The guy is correct in the video regarding hearing protection.

I've got a Gen 2 KSG, and it performs well. Definitely a great home defense firearm. I'll have to check out the Gen 3.

No they're new units. They come with skull crusher mount and an arm too. Oh, they include a built-in IR illuminator too. The one that I purchased included demist shield, a sacrificial window, an eye guard, a carrying pouch and a weapon mount. It's a complete kit for a reasonable price...

Here's a PVS-14 for $2095, and includes shipping: U.S. Made PVS-14 3rd Gen NON Gated Full Manual Gain Control. I have no connection with the company, excerpt that I'm a satisfied customer.

Night vision equipment is no longer expensive, a decent PVS-14 can be purchased for around $2000. Sell some safe queens and join the 21st century. And yes, I do use it for bumps in the night or squawks in the hen house. Once you've used it, you'll wonder why it took so long to get some...

I would go along with the concept of lights and muzzle flashes attracting bullets. With modern night vision equipment there's a minimal need for lighting. Third generation + night vision equipment can be used for identifying friend versus foe. I can use an infrared scope to locate possible...

I use one of the Hill People chest rigs. It's a high quality piece of gear. I use it primarily when bicycling and hiking. I like how I can carry concealed, and also carry other gear too, like extra magazines, cell phones, my wallet etc. I find that I have rapid enough access, if needed.

I use a Buddipole when on trips. They are expensive, they can be difficult to tune at times, but they do work. I've used mine a couple of times while operating as 4S7ASG in Sri Lanka, and I'll use it again when I go back next year. The PAR end fed antennas work too, but you need a tree or...

There's nothing wrong with CB's, they have their place in communications, but they also have profound limitations. Amateur radio is still the best for the extensive frequencies and modes that are available. It's also possible to program various amateur radio transceivers to use CB frequencies...

That's a nice buy. There's nothing like having an extremely portable station.

Yup, the H&K USP is a real tank. I like mine!

I pocket carry 90% of the time, either a Keltec PF-9 or a Detonics Pocket 9. When I move to a State that's more gun friendly I'll start to carry one of my full size pistols.

There are chlorine makers available which use table salt and 12 volt DC, say from a car battery. I recently acquired one, and for a large scale event it could be a lifesaver. I have a variety of filters, including a Katadyn pocket filter, some Sawyers filters, and a Steripen. Even if I...

I've got three that I'd like to acquire: Steyr Aug, H&K MP-5, and a Desert Eagle .50 AE. I guess I'll have to wait until I retire and move to a free State.

Gee, I had 5000 rounds of .22 delivered to my home yesterday. The ammo was ordered on line. Yup, there are a lot of dickhead ammo vendors that won't deliver to homes in New York, but there are a few that have read the law and understand it fully.

I ride a couple of dual sports and a Ural Gear Up sidecar rig, depending upon my mood and which one is running decently. Anyways, like VietnamEraVet, I've always carried in my front jeans pocket. My EDC is a Keltec PF-9, so it's quite small and concealable. I just picked up a H&K VP9 today...

Thanks for doing this!

If an enemy was going to hit us, the best time would be late Fall or early Winter. Millions would perish from the cold. It would certainly make for a miserable Winter. But on the plus side, the golden hordes would have a more difficult time ranging through the countryside.

Here's another review: A .50 BMG for Everyone: Serbu's Lightweight, Single-Shot RN-50 — Full Review - GunsAmerica Digest He's says it's painful to shoot.

The new polyethylene plates are the way to go, especially if you have a need to frequently wear armor. I'll have to research the Paraclete brand. I know Spartan Armor has similar plates that are NIJ Level III compliant: UHMWPE Level III Set of Two I've seen them at some other websites in the...

Uzi carbine in 9mm. I miss that gun, but I'll get it back when I move to a free State.

Hams do it with more frequency...:ROFL:

Yup, one of the reasons I went with a Meprolight reflex sight, no electronics/batteries.

I have a H&K USP in .45. It's a great firearm, very accurate with manageable recoil. I'd like to get a VP9 for carry, as the USP is sizeable. I'd also like to get a SP5K, once I move to a free State. Maybe next year...

Sportsman's Guide wouldn't ship ammo that I wanted to order to my local FFL, they suck too. I think these larger companies are all managed by their legal departments, which don't have an understanding of the laws of NY. I guess it's not worthwhile to research the firearms laws in all 50 States...

I always wondered how a dog would react to a cattle prod when attacking a person.

Yes, it's a truly sad situation.

Congratulations on the new radio! I got a Kenwood TH-D74A last week. I'm still learning all the features.
