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.
The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.
I sent the VCDL my box of ammo as per the email notice request. Instead of just complaining about MacBloomberg I will do what I can do to fight against him.
For those who get the VCDL email you will know what I am talking about, and for those who don't I suggest joining VCDL.
I am not surprised that the City lies like a rug. But the city council meeting is tonight, see Item 2. I will OC to this meeting as will probably some others.

So I know that it might be a stretch for the OC forum. However, I'll write and let the chips fly. Lately a lot of focus has come about with the license plate scanners that the cops use as they drive around. I learned last night that the Lynchburg police have a couple of these cars and that they...
So my google-fu being weak this morning as it relates to carrying in the USPS many people (to my faulted recollection) have stated that carry even on USPS property (parking lot) could result in an arrest and possible prosecution. However, according to the article...

I had to wonder if Skidmark was the same as a six year-old. Now when I was growing up we played the completely politically-incorrect game of cowboys and indians yelling bang at the top of our lungs...
I am curious. I have noted (anectdotely) that this forum for VA is more active than another states forum (2 of them). I wonder if there is a correlation between OC activity and the rights in a state. VA rights are good and there is an active attempt to improve them with some success. In the...

I ran across this encounter with BCSO and couldn't find any comments in this forum. I hope somebody can shed some light on it for me. Does anyone else have any comments about the BCSO?

I am wondering if anyone knows if there are any prohibitions against OC while riding the Sandia Tram to the top? I haven't seen any but maybe somebody knows if there are.
One has to be impressed with the reactions of this guard. I don't know what state, but it is a level of awareness we should all strive for as OCers.
