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.

Recent events have obviously got my attention as with everyone else in our community. Thought I would step in and see who is still around from the old days.
The votes are in. We will converge on Burke Lake Park Saturday July 16th at 4PM until whenever. I will try to get our usual spot but as it is first come first serve we may have to play it by ear.
We traditional do this potluck so pick something to bring and keep an eye on how many folks are...
Time to break potato salad, bug spray, and helicopter lure.
Vote to pick a date and when thats settled there will be another thread for who brings what.

Me and another forum member were OCing and standing in the Dickey Ridge Picnic area parking lot this afternoon when a park ranger drove up to chat with our group for a minute, showed no concern or made any mention about the arms. He was friendly and polite and on his way in a minute. Really...

I think this woman will be bad for the RKBA. In her heart I don't think she supports the right and seems to like the tactic of denying hearings to prevent cases from being heard if she thinks the decision might not go they way she likes...

Spamming the forum again but Guns and Ammo Warehouse is having our anniversary/ 5.11 days sale this weekend. 20% of 5.11 items and just about everything else is for sale too.

Since the used revolver deal went over so well I thought I'd ask the forum if they wanted me to continue to advertise them here. No one complained but I don't want to offend anyone so I'll go with the majority of the poll.
In the meantime we still have plenty of S&W 10s for $225...

I made this map to show where one can have a loaded longgun in their vehicle.
ETA: To give credit where it is due I borrowed the Geospatial enforcement map from Virginia1774.org, and just added the red for localities banning loaded longarms in vehicles and yellow for those that...
