    I think your first order of business would be to define exactly what you are prepping for (bug-in, bug-out or both) recommendations for gear would differ depending on this criteria, because when you bug-out Weight becomes a much bigger concern. I.E. If your bugging-out I would suggest freeze-dried foods as they are much lighter and pack smaller (I prefer Mountain House). If your bugging in I would go for for MREs instead. They are heaver, bulkier and have a shorter shelf life, however they are much higher in calories/nutrients. A single MRE will give you around 1300 calories, where a freeze-dried entree will give you approx 600 cals.

    Standing at five-foot-seven with a body carved from years of martial arts and wrestling training, Fairfield Detective Paul Marinaccio looks more like the last action hero than your friendly small town cop. Every muscle tenses when he raises his gun, his 31-year-old linebacker’s frame barely flinching from the kick of his Glock 23 as he fires round after round,

     

    how many linebackers are 5'7"?

     

    from answers.com: Average size 6'2" 247. Currently the NFL has linebackers from 5'10"-6'5" weighing from 230-270.

     

    Is that from his bio or some romance novel. :bad:

     

    Who writes this stuff?

    Same problems as I've been having. Except I like prone lol. I got the SV98 out last night before I got off and was taking heads out to 400 meters. I can explain the under the map thing. The follow cam after you get killed glitches and doesn't get assigned to the person who killed you. Only happens once in a while. I have a couple issues with it, but its a beta. This is the one time they'll listen to us.

     

    Well sort of... I have been in more closed & open "betas" than I care to count and 9 times out of 10 they are just to generate hype, so the game has a good opening. 99% of the problems you find, they already know about and they are already working on a solution. If your lucky you will see a solution in the first 3 patches ;)

    Save money on bottled water. Its a rip-off disaster or not. Unless you are out to eat and get some fancy bottled mineral water, that stuff is great. ;p

     

    As others have said, fill containers with tap water, if it hits bad, start filling your bathtubs up with water. Make sure your drain doesn't leak of course. You'll even have time during the hurricane to do this, municipal water supplies have backup power.

     

    A little late to order his now, but a friend sent me this a while back. It would be perfect for a situation like this:

    and just think, im supposed to drive to SC shortly! wtf am I thinking?

    now, considering cancelling my vacation! damn!

     

    Feel bad for me, my whole family has a vacation scheduled for next week in Corolla, NC (Outerbanks) lol We still might go late, depending

    on how much havoc the storm causes.

     

    Edison's Costco was a nightmare and the water is going fast..

     

    You don't need bottled water, you just need containers. You have good drinking water from your faucet right now. Fill up some containers

    and you good to go. I seriously worry about the people in this state sometimes. I don't think they are going to survive the first day of the apocalypse lol

    Well im not a lawyer, but my short answer is absolutely not. He should not take possession of the firearm. There are a number of questions here that would need to be answered to even determine who legally owns the handgun. In that situation play it safe and and say sorry cant help you or if you feel that bad about it loan them your safe not the other way around :)

     

    So if the the father had no will or everything was left to the mother, then it is her firearm. If the firearm was left to the daughter in the will then it is her firearm. Neither mother or daughter needs a firearm id card or ppp to inherit a handgun.

     

    I'm not that familiar with P2P transfer portion of the law, so I cant comment on that.

    I live in the Trenton area so I'm close to Bristol, PA and there's a facility there that gives courses for 31, 33, 35 state CCW... basically you pay them to take NRA safety courses (Utah is separate from the FL/VA), they help you with all the paperwork, and then you just mail the documents yourself... I'm thinking of just doing the FL/VA since that will let me carry in 33 states (not including this lib craphole of course) but it's better than nothing... anyone do this course by any chance? It'd be nice to CCW when I'm traveling out of state in PA, VA for example.

     

    I'm pretty sure I went to the same course you are planning to do and I would recommend go to see one of the forum vendors. I know they are a little more expensive and further away, but it's worth it. My class had close to 60 people in. It was pure chaos. It was overcrowded, disorganized and took 3x the amount of time it was suppose to. I wouldn't do it again.

    right like my G6 the rear calipers screw in and don't depress. Obvi a screwdriver won't work in that situation.

     

    That's interesting I didn't know American cars used that style caliper. I thought that was a German car thing.

     

    On Sub-Topic: Yea I have done the brakes in both an 02 and 05 WRX and they are the same as any other car.

     

    On Main-Topic: I field strip and clean my XD every time I shoot it. Yea, its not needed, but it makes me feel better

    since it is also my first resort HD weapon.

    We had a conversation similar to this last year I believe?

     

    Some points I would make are a home garden is a great renewable way of harvesting food. If you combine dehydration with that

    it can really pay off for saving you money on emergency food. Second point is to watch the calorie counts on freeze dried meals

    like Mountain House. These are great for short term survival but not long term. The Beef Stew #10 Can for example only gives you

    210 calories per serving. So 3 servings a day of that will not even give you 1000 calories a day which is considered to be the bare

    minimum needed by the human body to function. The last point I would raise is, unless you live in the desert, there is no need to store

    water. You have tons of water around you in NJ/PA/NY etc. You just need a way to filter/sterilize it. If you want to buy plastic drums to

    fill once you think you might need it... ok.

    Yea basically what mgralley said. It is my understanding that Florida only accepts Florida non-resident permits. So PA, VA, UT, AZ etc. non-resident CCWs are not honored in FL. Now that does not automatically mean the reverse is true. FL non-resident CCW is honored in PA.

     

    I believe these exceptions where put into place to prevent a FL resident from getting an out of state non-resident and using it in FL. The same thing Utah is trying to do now.

     

    Please correct me if I'm wrong...

    Allegra-D 12-hour tablets

    Flonase nasal spray

     

    Yea, I was going to say Allegra went OTC this year, so you don't need a prescription. If you do have a prescription, check with your insurance because they may stop covering Allegra. When Claratin & Zyrtec went OTC alot of insurance companies dropped coverage for the prescriptions.

    Well the way I see it is that Americans are more willing to give money to foreign causes than US causes, because we feel that they are less fortunate than us. Take Haiti and New Orleans for example. Both hit by natural disasters yet Haiti is getting help from all over the world and New Orleans is still in ruins. Why? Because we feel Haiti has less fortunate people than New Orleans. We feel that people in New Orleans had the choice of all the same protections we have like savings accounts, 401ks, home owners insurance, car insurance, etc. So we as Americans don't see why we should help people who didn't help themselves when they could have. The same goes for homeless and unfortunately veterans (although I wouldn't put veterans in the same category).

     

    Now if I had money to give away, I would give it to any area in need, but in these uncertain financial times I'm scraping by like everyone else.

    I have been threw Raritan thousands of times and although its not a great area its not that bad either. With that being said however I don't have a problem with the Raritan police having rifles. It cant hurt to be prepared and the cost would not be prohibitively exorbitant.

    Honestly, I don't give a s*** what Mexico wants. This is America, and America should be more important to us than Mexico. Keeping the border unsecure hurts us more than it helps us, therefore we need to shut it. I understand the point of international politics, but I seriously don't think that Mexico has anything to offer us anytime soon.

     

    I'm taking a side either way, just stating the way I see things. I think totally securing our border is an impossible task, that can not be accomplished. You can throw billions of dollars and millions of troops at the boarder and they will still came over. Where there's a will there's a way.

     

    P.S. I think there is some constitutional issue with using the military for boarder patrol, which is why we haven't done it other than intelligence, training etc. New laws would have to be passed first.

    Okay I'm not racist by any means, I'm just honest. If this guy can't speak English, and he doesn't understand American laws, then why the hell is he talking to the President of the United States, suggesting political options? That guy seriously needs to STFU.

     

    I agree with vlad, we need to secure our borders. A lot of other nations have secure borders, why can't "the greatest nation on earth" secure its border? Oh wait...... And you can forget about securing the border and having illegals guard it, eff that crap. That is one of the worst biases I have ever heard of.

     

    Mexico doesn't want us to secure our borders. If we secured our borders illegals couldn't get here to work and send all of our currency back to Mexico. If we secured the borders all of the illegal drugs couldn't get to the drug users here in the US and the cash couldn't get back down to Mexico and beyond. Essentially the US is keeping Mexico from a total collapse. If we secured our borders Mexico would be destroyed.

     

    P.S. I think all of this recent whining done be the Mexican President, is being done at Obama's request. Soon he will push for a new "Assualt weapons" ban and he will use Mexico as one of his reasons.
