'i found a great iphone app for the radio. its 'Oo Tunes". I got it to listen to stations that were not on iheartradio and found out that it has police/fire/emt scanning for several different cities including my own.

meaning you could list the channel as a favorite and if you have cell service you could listen in very quickly.

I hope to God that you don't have a ccw permit!. Drawing the gun with no reason is a misdemeanor, called "brandishing a weapon", and it will get your permit jerked. If you point the gun at anyone, it's a FELONY, called "aggravated assault", and gets you 3-8 years in prison, and you lose your gun rights. Do not go pulling your gun without an imminent threat being present! a loud noise might be a bomb, but your pistol will be of no help if that is the case.
