Yeah, if your planning on repeating the Edward R. Murrah Building incident...

Who the fu(k are you? I am not a terrorist you dumb SOB. Whatever spoon fed shit your agency is feeding you is a crock man. I am nothing more then a survivalist patriotic citizin. I take strong offense to your statement

Wasn't ment to offend you personally... I just don't believe in militias, I view them as a bunch of misguided individuals running around spewing their own propaganda... My organization doesn't spoon feed me shit about the OKC incident, but we have studied it and I have been there and I have trained with the responders ( http://www.r-i-g.com/ ) of that day and listened to their stories...

Like I said, nothing against you personally...

Well I understand there are some bad organisation out there but not near as many as good ones. A well organized militia is the right of the people. And if you want to start talking about the bad things that have been tied to militants why dont we also bring up the bad things tied to gov agencies like Waco and Ruby Ridge? While I may not have agreed with these people way of life the Goverenment was way out of line.

I don't know the details of Ruby ridge, but I know its the general consus that the Gov't. fucked up. Now Waco, I think, was a mass ******* by fire that got blamed on the Gov't., but like I said that's my thoughts...

But there are still a ton of Gov't fuck-ups out there, but for the most part, they were trying to do the right thing and things just went wrong...

My point is that militias are not bad just because they are a militia. Its part of the constatution. I am in no way nor do I know anyone that is or has the tendencies to be a terrorist. But if this country started going in a communist direction and our freedoms were taken away then it would be my constitutional right to join a militia and fight the government. Also a lot of the guys I go to functions with from around the state and country are from different gov agencies and or the military.

My parent's place in Carolina has a 15kW backup generator running off a buried 500 gal. LP tank - automatically switches on when the grid fails, and the house can be heated off a wood burning furnace in the basement. Plus I have a few hundred Ah in solar-charged gel cells, so that place is pretty much taken care of //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif A week or so's worth of water is downstairs, along with some snacks and stuff that doesn't go bad easily. I figure if the situation is bad enough that two week's worth of food doesn't get me through it, it's time to go to more drastic measures //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Up here with me, I usually carry everything in a "go-kit" that I keep in my van. I keep spare battery packs for my handheld radios, frequency plans, backup Maglite, Zippo, Dacron rope, extra mag-mount antenna for 144/440MHz, writing materials - plus the actual communications gear that's hardwired into the van itself (HF/shortwave rig, simultaneous VHF/UHF capability on basically any emergency frequency used if it's not encrypted). I can be anywhere and set up a tactical communications post within an hour's notice - and have the ability to talk to someone local or several hundred miles away if the situation calls for it. Plus, in an emergency you want to be able to monitor police, fire, EMS...information gathering is everything. Sitting back and waiting for the "official" news to come out on TV is a good way to be a sheep.

Only people who prepare and want to survive deserve to survive.

Agreed.

Kimbers are very nice if you like the 1911 style. If you ever have any questions or want an oppinion on any firearms and or ammo PM me, I have dealt with many many of them.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I was even thinking of going with a Beretta 9mm since i'm so used to shooting one. When I was in Korea, I would go to the Naval Security Forces range we had on base 1-4 times a month. Always qualified as expert, but the perfect score eluded me. best i did was a 233 out of 240...
