We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Anti-Gun Business Business Cards
imported post Saw these over on THR Its a good idea, members of that range apparently have them to pass out to anti-gun businesses. Seems like it could also be effective for OC'ers as well. -

Armed Fire Marshals?
imported post I was out in Short Pump this evening and noticed a Henrico County "Assistant Fire Marshal" performing an inspection. He was armed with what appeared to be a Sig. Kinda surprised me as I always thought these guys were closer to a fireman than a LEO. Are fire marshals considered... -

VA Fusion Center and Department of Defense pro-OC?
imported post I had a very interesting talk with a very senior Department of Homeland Security official with the state Fusion Center. Besides being extremely pro-2A and having a quite nice gun collection, he is extremely pro-carry, and seemed to support OC. The experience served to remind... -

OT: Question for members of Quantico shooting club.
imported post I remember looking into this club a while back, and didn't pursue membership because of a requirement to live within a certain distance of Quantico (I think 100miles). I checked the website recently, and couldn't find that requirement any more. Was it removed? The primary reason... -

OT: Right to film police
imported post Not really OC related, but I've been looking into the legality of filming police, the legality of police ordering a photographer or filmographer to cease filming, and when the police can seize cameras or film. What I've found so far has been largely on blogs and in newspaper... -

From VCDL: OC'er kicked off Belle Island
imported post I figured I'd post this for the benefit of the few visitors to this forum who are not signed up for the VCDL Alerts. Apologies if this was posted elsewhere and I missed it. I OC in the Richmond JRP system regularly, I've been seen by LEO's, and never had a problem. This seems to... -

imported post Anyone know of a place in central Va. that may have some primers in stock (or is still recieving shipments)? Looking for all types except shotgun. I only load in small batches so I really don't want to pay the $20+ hazmat fee to get them shipped to me. -

Local IDPA, USPSA, IPSC matches
imported post I really want to get into competitive shooting, but I can never find out any match info ahead of time. Anyone know of some regular local (~100 miles of Richmond) matches, or where I can find match information? -

OC with a threaded barrel
imported post I've been shopping around for a 5" threaded barrel for my commander length 1911, to use with a sound suppressor (or anything else cool I can screw on). I was wondering if § 18.2-287.4 prohibits OCing this the listed areas. I'm pretty sure I would be exempt by virtue of my CCP... -

Disarmed myself for 10 days
imported post I spent my spring break in Ireland... its a beautiful country, and my gf and I had a great time. However, the laws of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland don't allow any weapons of any type to be carried for self-defense. The UK is even considering legislation to ban... -

Pro-gun article in the Commonwealth Times

VCU's advice to students re: muggers
imported post This is posted on a publication that is posted on the walls of the university's bathrooms, called "The Stall Seat Journal" Link I guess it kinda makes sense... you already have disarmed your students. How else can you make it easier for criminals and sociopaths? Train (and...
