    Ham Two Way Radio !

    I have a couple of these. The menus are a bit confusing so it is a good idea to get familiar with them before you need them. Also, read up on setting one up as a relay. You can extend your range considerably or get your signal out of a ravine if needed. Also, consider picking up a small...

    Ideas for Stocking Up Cheap

    Thrift stores and garage sales often have items for a SHTF situation at a good price. Here are a few ideas of what to look for. Check your personal inventory to see what you need most, and what you have room to store. If you’ve got storage space, you can never have an overstock of prepping...

    New York is Numba One in Population

    So if Cuomo is elected president, will the US become the leader in residents lost to other countries? Should I wait to see what happens and then move, or move to SC now and again in 3 years to 'destination unknown?'

    10 Reasons To Own An AR-15

    Disaster Preparedness - I read an article written by a Bosnian war survivor. He made a good point about weapons. He stated that you had a much better chance of surviving using a non military style (looking) rifle. Being seen with an AR, you can be looked at as military or your gun...

    How to achieve a gun free America.

    The issue today is that there is a sect of the population in this country that feel the Constitution, laws, rules, policies, etc, need to be updated to modern times and the 'will' of the majority of the people. Basically they are looking to change the fabric of this country. It IS an invasion...

    Constitutional Convention

    The unions dnt want it because the outcome could result in removing federal protection on contracts and pensions. As stated earlier, an employee is a year from retirement or even retired and collecting and boom, gone. Like or dislike unions, they do provide a balance and prevent the state and...

    Law Professor: Police Should Track Gun Purchases, Knock on Your Door After ‘Too Many’

    So how does the conversation go? Knock on door: police "hi, we see you bought x number of guns" me "yes, I am a happy gun owner" police "ok can we see them?" Me "no, they are sleeping right now" police "we really need to see them" me "no" police "please?" me "no" police "we can get a warrant if...

    Feinstein: America is a 'gun-happy country'

    Better gun happy then mad with a gun. I am also Mustang happy, big flat screen happy, scotch happy, gone fishing happy. Plus many more. Come on Diane, wouldn't you rather people be happy than sad?

    Gun Ban introduced

    Any ban starts the "slippery slope." That said, Republicans are introducing a ban on bump stocks hoping to keep the ban focus on a single item. If passed and Dems circle back with more bans, Republicans are going to say, we took action, done. It is a matter of controlling the damage.

    Statistics: People who legally own gun rarely commit crimes with their firearms

    Yet people who legally own automobiles break the law all the time. And yet we don't outlaw automobiles. Of course if suggested, everyone would claim it would be ridiculous to do so. It should be the same with firearms.

    San Franciscans Pissed To Learn Their Liberal Policies Caused A Wave Of Restaurant Failures

    Funny, they say Trump is only for the upper class yet they cause a further failure of the middle class while also making it impossible for the lower class to afford anything above rations. (hmmm, didn't see that coming.)

    Ammo Stockpiling - again

    What exactly is hording? I stockpile for a few reasons. First, I never overpay. Even during the "shortage" I bought at the old prices from a source that never raised prices. Fact of life, price will go up over time. I would rather buy at today's prices so I don't have to pay tomorrow's...

    What Can Be Done About Washington Politics?

    The people handed Republicans Congress. We did so because we were promised certain things. The people elected Trump because he promised what we wanted. Now the Republicans are blocking Trump from fulfilling his promises (at least to the degree they were promised.) Is there a Republican party...

Therefore, direct application of pellets in food processing is not recommended. Other water softening salt products like solar...

    Criticize my EDC/go bag - share/compare yours!

    Needle and floss. Floss is stronger than thread and can be used for many things including stitches, sewing, cleaning teeth, tying things up, etc. I pack my bag as a get-home, bug-out bag. It has much more than I need for either situation. That said, the idea is to eliminate items not needed...

    Ulster update. Effective statewide.

    I added a gun to my permit in ulster 3 weeks ago. No wait, went to permit office, paid, added, went and picked up gun, same day. Years ago Ulster use to send every purchase to the judge before you could pick up your gun. It took anywhere from 4 weeks to as much as 6 months at times. They...

    Ulster Firearms - New gun shop open

    Its a great shop with good prices. I bought a bodyguard from them. The price was the same as through Bud's. Yes there was tax on top but I certainly don't mind spending a few dollars more to support a local merchant. One word of warning, Ryan can and will talk your head off. :-) It's all...

    'Anonymous' warns World to prepare for World War 3

    Anonymous, good points, sometimes right. Just another opinion with some facts. Everyone has one. Doubtful we would see a bright flash here in the US but a war could be very destructive to life as we know it. I stopped and bought a couple extra cans of spam today.

    State Senate’s ‘anti-gang’ bill shot down by Heastie

    Is it legal to shoot off a boat?

    How do you shot off a boat? You would need a really big gun in order to load a boat into it. I know there are laws against shooting across bodies of water. I would imagine shooting from a boat would fall under this category. (duck and water fowl hunting excluded)
