Can you operate a GMRS radio without FCC license? A friend of mine is
doing it and I was surprised to know it. I always thought to
send/receive signals on GMRS frequencies requires some kind of unique
code being passed around.

Yes...you need a license!

Regardless of who says what, the answer to your question is the same answer
to this question:
Can you drive a car in the United States without a license?

Of course you can; just don't get caught.

I guess most of the young ones here doesn't remember the days when a so
called license was needed for CBs until it ran rampid and nobody got
them either. Lets face it 1,000,000 CBers and growing the FCC had to
give in. Same goes for GRMS.

Yup,,,and as you see, some are making problems for themselves over it.
