    Kimber 10mm

    imported post Does anyone on the board have any experience with Kimber's 1911 models chambered in 10mm? I currently have a pair of G20's, and am considering a Kimber. The 10mm is a hotter round than the "normal" 1911's 45 ACP, so I am concerned about reliability. Any experience, information or...

    Thigh Holster

    imported post There have been several references to thigh holsters here, but no thread dedicated to the subject that I can find. I own one, and like it, but I am concerned about the impact that wearing it in public may have. We encourage each other to dress and act extra professionally when...

    Carry w/o Permit in Vehicle

    imported post It is generally understood that in Virginia, one may carry a loaded weapon inside a car without a permit as long as it is in plain view. Earlier tonight, I was asked by a family member to find the law. Despite my best efforts, I can not find any statute that addresses this. The...

    Orlando Set to Shatter Homicide Record

    imported post http://apnews1.iwon.com/article/20060721/D8J0JRU82.html This isn't an OC-related story, and while the news isn't good, it isn't an extremely negative article when everything is considered in context. It does buck the crime rate trend in shall-issue states, though. "Most of...

I OC'ed into the Richmond station yesterday, picked up my ticket from Will Call, and exited with no comments, looks, or other reactions that I noticed. The entry doors are not posted, so I didn't give it...
