If it's a ham or sat phone, plenty good. Neither rely solely on terrestrial infrastructure.

Not true. If solid state radios are stored in an EMP proof container or grounded cage, they absolutely will survive. That's the whole point of a Faraday cage, it soaks up the energy and sends it to ground.

The age of the ammo is less a concern than how it was stored. Do you have another firearm capable of shooting those shorties? I doubt it's the ammo. The hammer spring is suspect but also check cylinder alignment and if the timing is correct.

Everything Mr Stu advised is correct. The only thing I can add to the recommendation of a ham radio, or two, is a prepaid sat phone if you can afford it. An EMP will toast a majority of everything on the ground, but satellites will still work.

Sounds like fear monger marketing to help kick off another profitable panic.

You can tow one of the cars with the RV.

I was actually thinking along the lines of a garment bag. Sandwich the rifle between a couple of dresses and zip it up. Can eve store it hanging in the closet. Nobody is going to look twice at a garment bag, unless you try and fold it over your arm.

It's true, man. The pilots name was Lt Harry Brubaker.

Based on the above, wouldn't the state's own pet charge of "constructive intent" apply. Even though the law has not been tested, it still exists.

Peel, I'm not going to try to unpack your entire reply. All I'm going to say is this. My life experiences, which I decline to share in specifics, has taught me at the very least, It take two to tango. My beef is that the woman gets ALL the sympathy for becoming a victim of her own making. The very nature of their relationship invited misfortune and she owns half of that. Full stop. I suppose the mistress got what she wanted in the end. She certainly did a good job of ruining the cops life, to get even for hm breaking off the affair. She got her pound of flesh, though it apparently cost her too. Hell hath no fury, etc etc... People need to know when it's time to walk away from an already bad and deteriorating situation, but prideful people with huge egos have a difficult time doing that. Sometimes the best way to win is to walk away.

The old Man and the State Trooper A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little gray hair he had left. "Amazing," he thought as he flew down I-94, pushing the pedal even more. Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a state trooper behind him, lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, "What am I doing? I'm too old for this," and pulled over to await the trooper's arrival. Pulling in behind him, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch, and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go." The old gentleman paused. Then he said, "Years ago, my wife ran off with a State trooper. I thought you were bringing her back." "Have a good day, sir," replied the trooper.

My grandmother taught me people can't (shouldn't) believe everything they hear or read, and only half of what they see. These love triangle situations can be complicated. The only thing out of the story I can say for certain is; The trooper is an idiot for having an affair. So, let's say the trooper either seduces, or gets himself seduced by a batshit crazy woman, they have an affair, and now the woman wants the trooper all for herself or asks for some unsavory favor. She now has the power to exploit the illicit liaison as leverage to blackmail and destroy the trooper's career and marriage if she does not get what she wants. Classic honeypot. For whatever reason, the affair went sideways (as they usually do) and she was putting the screws to him. Ask yourself, why would anyone (cop or not) try to do something like this unless they were being threatened Did he randomly do it just for fun because he's a sadistic SOB, or more likely, used her veiled threats of suicide and blowing up his marriage and career to deal with the likely blackmail that was going on. I'm not saying the cop was justified in using erpo to deal with a scorned woman, but when someone is backed into a corner, they will use whatever tools they have in their kit to deal with a threat. I'm not suggesting we give the cop a free pass, he is certainly culpable because he allowed himself to enter into an affair that exposed him to extortion. What I am saying is before dog piling on the cop, maybe get the entire story before making a summary judgement.

This wont make any sense to you right now, but, I recommend just going with this. When the question comes up, the correct answer is always pork roll. You will understand soon enough. Welcome to the jungle.

Y'all are funny. You do realize that this plane was designed, very specifically, to not be found.

Put down whatever you are drinking or eating and swallow before hitting play. You've been warned.

I do not believe security is an illusion. Perhaps total security, being 100% protected is an illusion. To say security is an illusion would mean there is no point in doing anything to protect one's self. That's just plain silly. Having fences, safes and locks on doors is secure to a degree. Having 15' concrete walls, armed guards and a vault room is secure to a much higher degree. Then there is Ft Knox security, literally the gold standard. With enough force, anything can get broken into, the trick is to have a level of security commensurate to the anticipated threat level. If a would be bad guy thinks they can get caught or killed, they generally move on to another target. Think of the least secure house on the block as the slowest gazelle. It will get eaten first.

:( 9/10 CLAY SHOOT * * * POSTPONED * * * The weather forecast for Sunday looks dismal, there is a 50% chance of rain and thunder storms. Actually, the whole weekend looks gnarly. With the odds against us, I'm calling off the shoot and will reschedule.

As far as safes go, Liberty is still a very good piece of gear. You can always buy a used safe (I suspect at a deep DEEP discount now) and have a trusted locksmith change the combo. Over on another forum, a couple LS owners said they changed the combo themselves, and a few others called a locksmith to change the combo. BTW, here's why Liberty Safe Co needs to be Budweiser'd.

What is interesting to me is their speed in coming up with a solution to the problem of phederal phishing trips. That in and of itself is telling, there had to have been a severe backlash. The phones at LS must have been off the hook all day and night dealing with outrage. I think the conservative, or at least moderate anti-bs cancel culture is finally catching on. Corporations are FINALLY aware they are not too big to fail and can be Budweiser'd. It's really sad that all that needs to be done to get into your safe is one unsubstantiated accusation and a judge that will summarily issue warrants for fishing trips.

Ammoland Inc. Posted on August 31, 2023 by John Crump The Biden administration has empowered the ATF to shut down gun stores for small clerical errors. President Joe Biden claims the new zero-tolerance policy only affects “rogue gun dealers,” but in practice, many more small gun stores are being targeted. FFL revocations are up between 350% and 500%, rising to a 17-year high. IOIs no longer have the discretion to determine whether a violation is willful. Instead of revocation being the last option, it is becoming the default action by the ATF A Florida-based Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Industry Operations Inspector (IOI) seized a federal firearms licensee’s (FFL) completed ATF Form 4473s and bound book to take off-site to make copies violating federal law. The IOI would return the documents a week later. Last week, Kiloton Tactical joined a coalition of FFLs led by Eric Blandford of the Iraqveteran8888 YouTube channel and vowed to sue the ATF over the Biden Administration’s zero-tolerance policy for FFLs. The lawsuit has now been filed with the illegal actions of the IOI front and center in the complaint. According to 18 U.S.C. 923(g)(1)(A), FFLs must maintain records such as a bound book and copies of the ATF Form 4473, which Kiloton Tactical did maintain. During an inspection, an IOI is able to look over records for policy violations but does not have the authority to inspect the documents off-site. This action is expressly prohibited by 27 CFR § 478.23(cd). The statute reads: “The inspections and examinations provided by this section do not authorize an ATF officer to seize any records or documents other than those records or documents constituting material evidence of a violation of law. If an ATF officer seizes such records or documents, copies shall be provided to the licensee within a reasonable time.”...- John Crump Read more: ATF Inspector Seizes Gun Store Customer Records Without A Warrant
