If you radio isn't programmed, probably the best frequencies/repeaters to program initially is the area Skywarn frequencies that are used for severe weather reporting. They are the main frequencies for the particular county/city so they are always being used. Dallas- 146.880(https://w5fc.org/) Irvin...

You can also attend Ham-Com(http://www.hamcom.org) which is held at the Irving Convention Center on June 9-10. There will be booths for 2 of the major training material providers, W5YI Group, Inc which is based in Arlington by the Ballpark(http://www.w5yi.org) and the American Radio Relay League(htt...

Thanks for all the replies. I was very confident they were wrong but just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything on the laws or pending changes. Hard to keep track of them all.

Imagine that, the media doesn't know what they are talking about.

I just saw this story on WFAA's website. It states, You also can't have a gun in a public park if a school-sponsored event is going on there, because Texas law makes it clear. Guns are not allowed on school premises, at school activities, or in school buses. So is the law really written that if I'm ...

I'm also a ham, N5AFD and work with the WX5FWD Fort Worth National Weather Service Skywarn radio desk team. We are ALWAYS looking for spotters within our 46 county warning area(especially in our outlying counties), whether you are part of an organized RACES/ARES organization or not. We take reports ...

The (good guy) shooter does have a LTC. I was able to confirm with a city source.

I checked out Total Shooting Sports this morning and it was very positive. Got there about 9:30 and checked in at the counter. Very spacious retail area. Pretty good gun selection. From what I can tell, prices were reasonable. I had to get on a waiting list only because one of their bays was closed ...

I agree that the private suites can get quite warm. Nice to have the privacy and added benefits but you definitely lose some airflow.

I believe I'll give TSS a shot this weekend and blow some of the cobwebs out of my Glock.

I went to TSS a few weeks ago with my dad and his sister. Very nice facility in my opinion. Range fees are reasonable compared to what I've been paying at other local ranges. We went on a Saturday and had maybe a 10 minute wait for a lane. I would definitely go again. Awesome. That's what I was loo...

Either my search skills are failing me or there just isn't anything on here about the new range in NRH. Anyone shoot there yet? I typically shoot at Shoot Smart in Grand Prairie but want to try places in the north half of the county since I'm now spending all my time north of 114. I know Shoot Smart...

Now that's cool. I now need to make a trip to Vermont someday. Luckily I don't have to deal with international borders but that's very interesting.

Make sure you're standing on the right side when you shoot. Seriously though, if it were me I'd take a defensive position in the house and call police for someone trespassing in the backyard. If they cross the line and try to enter the house all bets are off. The real question is which police depar...

From a title standpoint, yes. Virginia collects taxes on the piece of land with the house and Maryland collects taxes on the back yard. 2 separate legals combined on the deed. I was just curious since the house will have a Virginia address, would you have issues say with a self defense situation in ...

My day job has me waist deep in property legal descriptions, title policies, etc all over the country. I am looking at a property that is in 2 states. It got me thinking, and it might be a crazy question, but how would gun ownership work if your house was sitting pretty in Virginia or WV but your po...

I work near one of Levi's corporate offices and they only have 30.07 on their doors. I'll check in a week or so to see if they add 30.06.
