Out of curiosity - are you aware of any actual enforcement actions
in the past few years, taken against people using GMRS frequencies
without a license?

Google shows several violations

Example
http://www.fcc.gov/eb/FieldNotices/2...-238457A1.html

The point is -- it is the law. If you are aware of that and ignore it - you
were forwarned.

The FCC has its hands full - monitoring for idiots jamming Marine and
Aircraft frequencies and causing ship or air collisions.

But non-licensed GMRSers do occaisionally get caught -- do you really want
to be one of them???
