this. i know that the fcc, or whomever regulates this stuff isn't out there just looking for law breakers. but in my own mind, i need to keep it legal. it's how i was raised.

so if i have a radio here at the shop, and whomever i wanna check on has a radio at their location....and we're in range for unit to unit comms......you're telling me i won't be able to check on them?

also..........if going base to base, with no towers, all you need is power at your home, and wherever the other base is. generator.

much cell phone service was down here after the storm a couple weeks ago.

nearly anything streamlight. i use them at work. i have 2 of them with spare batteries for both. i forget the rating......but they're friggin fantastic. take anything i do to them too

that one can be pretty insidious, as pretty much all .223 will penetrate normal police body armor(i thinkn) thus it can be labeled as armor piercing.......

While no law or set of laws will end gun violence, it is clear that the American people want action. If even one child’s life can be saved, then we need to act. Now is the time to do the right thing for our children, our communities, and the country we love. quoted from that site. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ using that single statement, the time to act IS now. stop illegals. stop letting murderers and rapists out of prison. enforce the laws on the books now. enact national reciprocity. those will go farther towards the above stated goal than a thousand new laws.

it's always good when someone takes their time like that. one amongst us has helped me IMMENSELY with my cb questions. i took it to pm, 'cause most of you guys were being kinda dicks about it(not you)....and one jumped straight to the conclusion that i was looking for illegal. i might move up to ham eventually though........

while my experience is that south jersey peeps are usually among the nicest in the state.........they STILL don't compare to peeps from south carolina or virginia..........

I said "if" not "when". there is also something to be said for the people down there. southern hospitality is a real thing.

it's what happens when you let someone with virtually no "in the field" experience make important decisions. sounds kinda familiar, doesn't it?

yeaaa well generators below sea level in a place that they HAD to know would flood....'cause i think it happened before.......is pretty stupid.

was reading this this morning.........it's like they're trying to spin the citizens as a bad thing again, but trying like bastards to not look like they are. also, there's a comment that the marines wish they'd go home. but i'd venture a guess that those marines at the recruiting centers feel very differently. http://www.aol.com/article/2015/07/22/after-tennessee-shootings-armed-citizens-guard-recruiters/21212334/?icid=maing-grid7|main5|dl1|sec3_lnk4%26pLid%3D1414267052

NO, i don't want govt dictating to them or anyone. but....i'd think that before they spend millions on making their building pretty, that they'd consider the "what if" and take the relatively small plunge to install automatic backup generators......

my question is why does a hospital not have a backup generator in the first place?

5 gallons....heh. when i thought sandy was gonna hit us the way it hit you guys up north....i had the generator tank full, 15 extra gallons in the garage, the jeeps tank full, and the dakotas tank full. they're both easy to siphon from, and i don't drive them...but i filled em just in case.

or it could be that they shut it off for "safety"

how do we go about getting some of them replaced then? 'cause some of them need to be replaced.

i would think in that instance that supporting an illegal law would grounds for such? but....who is responsible for the process?

the bolded part is the key. i believe that the power companies have been taking their profits(nothing wrong with that at all!) and doing nothing more than the bare minimum to maintain their systems(THIS is a SERIOUS problem!). they have been doing no major improvements that i can see. shit....i don't remember losing power this often back in the 70's.

i'll say it again. these guys are appointed. for life. they can, and apparently do do whatever they want. they don't care that their job is to uphold the constitution. they don't have to, 'cause there is no way to hold them accountable. until that happens, the shit spewed forth from their "opinions" will continue.

as we all know, light is good to have. i have the hat i mentioned, plus a spare. 2 head lights at home, one int he truck, 2 at the shop. i need to load up more on the 123's though. i only have 2 2packs......

am i the only one wondering why you're riding the yellow line? not trying to be a dick btw........

aces high. ww2 air combat sim. def "G" rated forums though.....ya get the ban hammer for anything political, or even saying bitch sometimes. flamewarriors. decent group of guys from around the world, but essentially a "my dick is bigger than yours, and if you did it, i did it first, better and faster" kind of site.
