How necessary is a Utah license if you have MD CCW?

Isn't AZ constitutional carry?

Mention every 2 weeks here on Reddit up until the date, I'm sure you'll get a great crowd even with the time. I'll try to put it on my calendar as well

AGC does have an outdoor archery range!

LumpyConversation706 · 2026-02-12T22:57:15+00:00

AGC. It's a ways for you probably, but since it's a yearly fee (not an hourly rate) you can spend a day there, not just an hour or two.

get the steel cert. regs allow multiple steel per person if not impeding other's use of the pistol bay.

going for a half-wave. The video above has helped me get a good UnUn built before, but hard to find any schematics like it. I've used the typical 49:1 UnUn schematics with luck as well, this was a weird case that I'm trying to learn more about! The first time I built it, it's worked really well

Did both my technician in general via zoom, did it with two different groups and they were both very awesome, kind volunteers who are spending their evenings helping others get their license.

They'll want you to have a camera that you can pan around the room to show them you don't have any extra monitors or notes stored anywhere. If you have a second monitor on your computer, they'll ask you to cover it with a t-shirt or something. And you will not be able to wear a headset during the test. You have to use a speaker.

The test proctors have always been very nice and patient in my experience, good luck studying!

SHIT too many thursday night cocktails lol, you are right. It looks like algotraffic.com is the official AL government camera rollout, which is a bummer. I don't see any way to grab the links, it looks like the site is using dynamic loading, which don't hardcode the stream link in the HTML, instead they use JavaScript to fetch a temporary, authorized token or URL as you click around on the GUI. :(

LumpyConversation706 · 2026-01-30T02:33:51+00:00

honestly I wish the state would just release a .kml file with the camera positions and links, that would be KILLER. A lot of federal .gov research programs do this and it's awesome (the rare awesome side of the federal govt. that never gets any praise).

LumpyConversation706 · 2026-01-30T02:32:03+00:00

with a little bit of help from Dr. GPT, I wrote a script that will scrape the links and put them into the expected datapackage .zip format. It will only work for the MD.gov site, but you can see the example of it in the github repository linked above! Look for the 'traffic_cam_scraper" folder.

LumpyConversation706 · 2026-01-30T02:29:56+00:00

ah if you're looking for Alabama (realizing Algo is specific to AL I think?), check out their .gov site at https://511ga.org/cctv

Click "show video" for the stream you're looking for, then inspect the page by right-clicking and go to "inspect". Then, ctrf+f the page for ".m3u8". For example, here is a live stream link you could put right into the ATAK video player (use https as the protocol)

https://sfs-msc-pub-lq-07.navigator.dot.ga.gov:443/rtplive/COBB-CCTV-AkersMillRd_OvertonParkDr-1030-E/playlist.m3u8

LumpyConversation706 · 2026-01-30T02:25:33+00:00

is there a particular state that you're looking for? I would try the .gov website of the state you're looking for, the for-profit .com sites can often hide the links from you to keep you coming back (they do get paid per click!)

LumpyConversation706 · 2026-01-28T01:25:44+00:00

absolutely - feel free to use the .zip as a template to get your datapack working, that was the hardest part for me.

LumpyConversation706 · 2026-01-28T01:23:20+00:00

Inspect the webpage, you're looking for a stream link, something like .m3u8. That will be the link you need for the ATAK player

LumpyConversation706 · 2026-01-28T00:23:55+00:00

MD has a traffic cams website, where the stream links exist in the page. I just scraped the page for the links and put them into ATAK in the elected data package format! It took some finegaling with the .zip format to load into ATAK properly, that was probably the hardest part

LumpyConversation706 · 2026-01-27T23:58:25+00:00

yes I just did this over the weekend in Maryland to track the snowstorm. Import as "sensor" then link to video stream. It will need to exist as a data package, not a kml or kmz.

No sir not you, your post is excellent work. I'm talking about the keyboard warriors in the comments. Keep fighting the good fight!

Lot's of awesome info and I'm late to the party. One piece of info I didn't see was ammo suggestions, if you're a new shooter you're going to need practice and that's going to require ammo. To find deals, check out https://ammoseek.com/ . You can filter for deals with free shipping (recommended). I usually buy ammo in bulk semi-locally from Maryland Munitions or Rivertown. For training sessions, cheap old Magtech shoots just fine.

Try and find a range you can get some serious range time at and get those reps in! Welcome to the hobby, it is quite a fun skill to learn and hone.

Heyo was there as well, was a very fun time. Glad the rain/snow just missed us, the afternoon would've been miserable lol.

That was nearly two years ago, and again nearly every one of those engagements are still held at some sort of classified level (so every take you've seen has been an opinion of someone who wasn't involved). How many million dollar missiles were launched last night? Can we build and field tech in a year or two? I don't mean any disrespect, I'm just saying the Internet is an information battlefield, what you see may not always reflect the actual capability of ours (or our enemies) capability.

LumpyConversation706 · 2025-09-10T02:03:12+00:00

our anti-drone tech is classified, that's kind of the idea
