    Didn't receive it here in SE Idaho nor has anyone mentioned it. Maybe we are irrelevant after all. Fine with me if it means that the crazy folk who are trying to ruin my country stay away!

    Let's use the First Amendment to protect the Second so we can avoid using the Second to protect the First.

    Yes. Two other phones in the class I was teaching went off.

    First thing I've ever seen on my cellphone from President Trump that didn't make me roll my eyes.

    This was announced on the news a few days ago already that this test was going to be sent out.
    It’s part of the same wireless alert system that we’ve had for years, except most/all of those alerts are regional based Amber/ hazardous weather type alerts.
    This alert is triggered by the White House & sent by FEMA to announce national alerts (911 & such) & can’t be opt out of.

    Many people are in a tizzy because of the “Presidential” title & the current political climate. Honestly, it’s something we should’ve had right from the get go & really isn’t news worthy.

    Received on a Samsung. Two Sony phones on the same tower did not. All three were on the same carrier but the Samsung was getting and sending messages/calls over the carrier whereas the Sony phones were set to Wi-fi calling.

    Cool

    In the event of a NATIONAL emergency, one of two "'80's Alerts" (depending on the SITREP) will play on my computer.




    Damn... can't post but one video per post.

    I agree 100%. If apple and google can troll through my phone and filter results, I might as well be notified for real if there is a terrorist attack.
    Stick


    Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.

    I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...
