Walker is having a Sale on the Digital HD Pro and Digital HD Comm behind the ear units.  The HD Pro were on sale for $180 or more on the internet  and all of the COMM units on sale that I looked at on the internet were around $280 or more.  They are selling the units for $150 plus a few bucks for shipping. I bought 2 of the Comm units because I have the RINO 120 that I use when hunting.  If you hunt with one or more people, the Rino line of FRS/GMRS radios plus GPS navigator are really great to have.  You have to call 877-269-8490 and ask for Jake.  Tell him George sent  you.

Walker’s Digital HD Comm (wireless communication) increased hearing up to 9 times with 50 decibels of power. The Digital HD Comm model not only offers the Adjustable Frequency Tuning circuit for fine tuning the frequency range but also allows for wireless communication when used in conjunction with any FRS or GMRS two-way radios with external mic ports.

Walker’s Digital HD Comm device includes a Sound Activated Compression circuit that when combined with the ear plug design protects hearing from loud sounds such as muzzle blasts. The Noise Reduction Rating of 29 decibels is among the highest in the industry. Each BTE unit also weighs less than 1/4 ounce – so light you hardly notice it – and wears comfortably behind the ear even when wearing glasses.

ACIA stands for Academy for Critical Incident Analysis

What is Critical Incident Analysis?  A critical incident is a relatively brief occurrence involving injury, loss, conflict, discovery or change of significant proportion, usually unscripted and unanticipated, with the potential to alter existing societal norms. Critical incidents are usually traumatic, threatening the bonds of trust that bind communities, but may be positive, initiating historic consequences.  ( jcia.aciajj.org/volume-1-no-1/a-conceptual-model-for-critical-incident-analysis/)

OK it is small but it is the next to last day of turkey season so beggars can’t be choosers, and this is only the 2nd turkey that I ever shot.

I have another Handgun Safety class this Saturday, 6/2/12.  It starts at 10 am and cost $75.  Click here to sign up with my listing on the NRA website.  I have the pistol license applications available.  The class is good for Orange, Sullivan, Westchester, Ulster and other counties.  I will have another class in July and I will go to your house to give you a class if that is what you need.

Calhoun will not seek Assembly re-election
BY JOHN SULLIVAN    Times Herald-Record 5/28/12

BLOOMING GROVE —Amid in­tense public scrutiny for col­lecting her pension while still in office, Assemblywoman Nancy Calhoun, R-Blooming Grove, has bowed out of the race for the newly formed 99th Assem­bly District – ending more than two de­cades in of­fice and cre­a ting an opportunity for a new gen­eration of candidates.

The assemblywoman did not return calls Sunday, but Ches­ter Supervisor Steve Neuhaus, who works as a representa­tive of the state’s Republi­can assembly minority, con­firmed Calhoun relinquished her candidacy and endorsed Kyle Roddey, the mayor of Goshen.

The assemblywoman made the announcement during the Orange County Republican Committee’s vote to endorse a candidate Thursday.

Roddey, 26, won the party’s endorsement, leaving chal­lengers Frank Fornario, super­visor of the Town of Blooming Grove; and a 21-year-old, Colin Schmitt, a college student and former political aide to An­nie Rabbit; to make a bid for a Republican primary, which would be held in September.

Committees for Stony Point Republicans, as well as the committees for the Conserva­tive Party in Orange County and Stony Point in Rockland County– also in the assembly district – have yet to endorse any candidate for the Novem­ber election.

Roddey thanked the assem­blywoman for her support, as well as her years of service to the region.

Fornario could not be reached for comment.

Schmitt, who has been en­dorsed by failed gubernato­rial candidate Carl Paladino, appeared ready to continue to fight.

“Many have tried, but I have come out as the only person to stop Nancy Calhoun’s shenani­gans and work to bring a re­spectable, capable represen­tative to the Assembly,” he said in a statement released shortly after Calhoun’s depar­ture.

“The fight is not yet over, though. We must assure a true Republican Conservative retains this seat, not Double Dipper Calhoun’s hand-picked successor.”

Many in the political world speculated on Calhoun’s po­litical demise since it came to light she had filed for her pen­sion of $58,503 a year, while also receiving her $79,500 as­sembly salary. A loophole that existed for the state’s longest-serving as­sembly and senate members makes it possible.

Republican state Senator Bill Larkin, now in his 33rd year of office, also filed for his pension while in office, un­der the same provision.

James Skoufis, a 24-year­old councilman for the Town of Woodbury, has received the Orange County Democratic Committee’s vote on the Dem­ocratic ticket, though former Blooming Grove Supervisor Larry Delarose has vowed to try and force a primary.

On Sunday, Skoufis took aim at Roddey’s support from Cal­houn as she left.

“This just goes to show that I’m the only candidate in the race that represents a clear cut from the politics of Nancy Calhoun,” he said.

It is a sad thing to see Nancy go.  She always fought for our 2nd Amendment rights and much more than most.  Not only did she vote for us but she was one of the few who would always be counted on to take to the floor and add her voice to her vote.  Her resignation is the best for all.  Now we have to make sure that we support the pro-gun person to replace her.

Walker’s Game Ear has some great deals if you are on their mailing list.  Everyone should sign up.   Everyone should buy the Alpha Power Muffs.  If you have a gun in the house for personal protection you should also have a flashlight and hearing protection next to it and the electronic ear muffs are the best way to go.  You can hear better and protect your hearing at the same time.  Your significant other needs hearing protection also so buy two.

The links don’t work so you will have to call them to place an order.

the empire page covers all the political stuff in Albany.  They finally covered the anti-gun fail with NYAIG a few days ago about a week after they had their rally.  Today they have a poll: “Do you support ‘stand your ground’ legislation?”

CLICK HERE TO VOTE  IN THE POLL. LOOK IN THE LEFT HAND UPPER CORNER.  We are at 96% right now.

While NYAGV and other anti-gun groups can only scrape together a few dozen people,  you can join thousands of gun owners and want to be gun owners and want to be more gun owners at the Middletown Gun Show on May 5th & 6th.
If you have never been to a gun show, they are fun.  It is like a history lesson and a chance to put together a wish list all in one.  You can get a look at all of the guns you never get to see at the local stores and pick up all of the other stuff from books to scopes at the gun show.  You can get a $1 off coupon for the Middletown, NY gun show and other gun shows in the north east at NorthEastGunShows.com.

Middletown NY Gun Show

Most of us could not make the meeting but you can catch the BEST OF on NRA News.

More news was the press’s shock that NRA members don’t like Mayor Booming Idiot Bloomburg.

Also catch the head of the NYSRPA on the The Coalition of the Oppressed made up the head of NY’s, NJ’s, and MA’s NRA affiliated state gun clubs.

Don’t forget to listen and call in to the local radio shows on Saturday.

Sat.  7am to 8am, Dirk Outdoors Radio Show on WTBQ  David has the only weekly outdoor show that we know if in NY.  He is a Guide and does it all.  He has written several books and has a website, www.dirksoutdoors.com/,  and he also has a weekly column in The Times-Herald Record.  He really got people upset with one of his last columns, Trout-stocking scheme is a failure, where he complained about how the stocked trout get dispersed into the streams and lakes. He can complain but the answer is more people showing up to help stock the fish.  Any where from 30 to  2 people show up at the 7 stocking locations and they are expected to carry 5 gallon buckets of fish and water out to the streams.  Now the DEC does have a water cannon that they do put some fish out with but most of the fish end up in a bucket being carried by 60 or 70+ year old men many with back and other problems.  While he did give the volunteers, or “hardy souls,” some credit, he should have said that what we need is to have more younger people to show up to help.  You teach your kids to fish, well teach them to help also.  The volunteers are mostly from the Orange County  Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs so contact them if you want to help.

After that or if you don’t get up that early you can catch Micheal Mazzariello on WGNY or 1220 on your AM dial from 8 AM to 10 AM. You might have seen him on TV, he had his own show for a while.   Don’t hold the fact that he is a lawyer against him but you can hold the fact that he is a 3/4 liberal with a little anarchist thrown in who tries to pass himself off as a “republicrat.”  He is a 2nd Amendment supporter and that is something good to say about him and he is right about a lot of things.  Call in, please call in, I hate to always be the only one from the right.  Two weeks ago I called in and asked Newburg’s new mayor, Mayor Judy Kennedy, why she joined NYC’s anti-gun Mayor Bloomburg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns.  “Who is for illegal guns?” was her answer.
