    If "guns don't kill people, people kill people" do "guns save lives"?

    If "guns don't kill people, people kill people" do "guns save lives"? A recent VCDL email brought up that guns don't kill people, people kill people. If this is the case (and I agree with the statement), how can we proudly wear bright orange buttons proclaiming that "Guns Save Lives". The...

    Open Carry at the General Assembly

    imported post So what is the actual rule on this, because I'm fairly certain there is no law banning it--at least none that I can find. I've been told that you have to have a Virginia CHP to OC at the General Assembly. Is this accurate or will another state's CWP that Virginia recognizes (ie...

    Upgraded the new ride, open carry style

Below is what I came up with. The primary mounting point for the fabricated...
