After I recently wrote bemoaning the defunct annual book “Passport to World Band Radio”, Gordon F. wrote to recommend the World Radio & TV Handbook. It is now the only major published reference for shortwave radio listeners that is still updated regularly. And on a related note, Reader F.J. suggested this free e-book: Radio Monitoring — A How To Guide.

SurvivalBlog readers up in Montana will be pleased to hear that a no permit required (aka “Constitutional Carry”) concealed carry law was passed in their state senate. It is expected to be signed into law by the Montana Governor. An article based on a MSSA press release mentioned: “Concealed carry outside city limits (99.4% of Montana) has not required a permit since 1991. Open carry [outside of or] inside city limits has never required a permit in Montana.” JWR Adds: It is noteworthy that Arizona and Alaska, and Wyoming already have “Vermont style CCW” , and I expect several other states to enact similar legislation. The appeal of American Redoubt is continuing to grow!
