I practically live underneath one that is tested every first Wednesday of the month at 10 PM.
I also heard it just before a F5 missed my home by a quarter of a mile.

Now if that siren kept going on and off during a sun shiny day, it may drive me batty but every
one else in town would know something is up.
If the evil hag is elected, I'll send a suggestion about that siren to the mayor.

Less violent with study of martial arts too.

Southern Idaho has some very nice country. And generally good people. There are corners in SE Idaho that are amazing. Northern Utah the same, Northern Nevada and western Wyoming the same (minus Jackson Hole - abode of the elites).

IF you can handle the LDS effect. I have not had a problem with it in my area in far northeastern Nevada, but that's OK, I am a not a religico, I hold my own against any of that - and with grudging respect from those that try to convert me. Shoot, 40 years ago, the Moonies tried extra hard to convert me because I argued against their case so well. They admitted it.

Haha! Just classic!

I gave up on the NRA 20 years ago when they failed to acknowledge the Lopez decision.

NRA, like many advocacy groups for various causes, actually do not want a clear resolution. They would be out of their well funded jobs.

Not a bad choice.

I'm looking at Southern Idaho myself, we're about 6 years away from retirement and then the door won't hit us in the ass on the way out of California. Kind of looking at Pocatello actually.

You mean, like assuming room temperature?

Unfortunately if it comes down to Oklahoma or Texas, it will be far too late. When legislation starts to pass we've got to act immediately.

The Washington Gun Rights Measure, Initiative 591 was on the November 4, 2014 ballot in the state of Washington as an Initiative to the Legislature, where it was defeated. Had it been approved by voters, the measure would have prevented the government from confiscating firearms without due process and implementing background checks unless a federal standard is established. The part that astounds me is that the NRA didn't even bother to help us on this one. The law now makes it illegal to openly trade arms or even use or handle someone elses gun without breaking the law. How far will this go, a little at a time? This is the only truth I see out Hillary, she says she will do everything in her power to take them away from law abiding citizens.

Would be nice if communities could use the weather warning sirens in a specific way to warn of imminent gun grabbers.

The evil hag will pull her War On Women card on you.
At least your resistance won't be called racist.
Maybe.

We just moved Feb 1st from Redmond WA (libtard town, near Microsoft) to Eastern Washington (Nine Mile Falls, practically all conservatives). Our house came with a concrete and steel walk in vault about 3-1/2 ft by 9-1/2 feet. I've just insulated it as it's downstairs and basically built in the dirt. I'm in the process of putting up Slot Wall to be able to hang my collection. I found out that the majority of homes here have similar vaults and practically everyone owns at least a few arms. Most have an AR-15 or two, perhaps an AK, and some of us even a Thompson (legal version semi-auto, of course). These are three of my favorites from my Vietnam days.

One of my other favorite arms is a documented Colt/Iver Johnson Single Action Army Buntline Revolver from the Robert Peterson-Hollywood Stembridge Movie Gun Collection. A .45 caliber, 12 1/2-inch barrel with fixed front sight and rear ladder sight. Blued finish barrel and cylinder. Case-hardened frame. Brass trigger guard, Smooth walnut grips. I have a copy of the catalog from 2007 Little Johns Auction where this gun was originally described and pictured. According to consignor, Mr. Stembridge, this gun was used in a Clint Eastwood/"Lee" Van Cleef Western. I had to have a special holster and belt made for it as I could not find one that would fit. I got a lot questions, and a few comments, when I wore it once to Redmond Derby Days. When asked if it was loaded, my reply was always "Of course, why would anyone carry an unloaded pistol?" It still makes me laugh.

The alternative has been worse~

It ain't gonna happen, PERIOD. I've already upped my collection, and ammo collection, and most of my friends are doing the same.

Yes, but I'll take it over the alternative.

Getting old is a bummer.

Old dino got to read that.

I have similar problems with some neuropathy thrown in for good luck. That's why I use revolvers. I think I can load them almost as fast as a semi-auto.

Got a 1957 Savage lever action.
Bought it at an estate sale. Very sweet firearm.

Sounds like they should redefine "gun safe". Hard to get "safer" than buried. Not available to be used in anger or be used accidentally by a child. Not very useful to the owner either, which is probably one of the government requirements.
Condolences on your enslavement, scoj.
I heard discussions years ago about air/water tight cylinders for burying rifles coated in grease, but don't know anyone who admits doing so.

Best sci fi novel ever written.

This is in The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress. I recommend to all to read the Heinlein story, which among other things takes the armed-citizen model to an absurd extreme.

Spoiler:

It's a moon colony with airlocks to vacuum everywhere, and certain kinds of misbehavior we consider trivial will get you grabbed by two or three people in pressure suits, taken out the nearest airlock and dumped.

If the military generals forgot that oath, there are millions of (government defined) domestic terrorists aka patriots who would remind them of it ... forcefully, if necessary. Many of those would be ex-military and active military.

Thanks for the heads up on a metal detector.
Blue meanies just may do metal detector sweeps of lawns, gardens and woods behind houses.
Maybe I can think up something even sneakier.
Also, there's a virtual forest one house down from my residence on a dead end street.
