    Polling Place Posted????

    I went to the polls at 6 this morning and there was a sign posted at the door (Sorry I didn't get a picture of it, but I left the cell phone in the car) that said "Open Display of Firearms Prohibited at Polling Place Except Law Enforcement". The thing that made me really raise an...

    OC of spare mags in a "posted" area

    Sorry if this has been asked and answered. I did a search and came up empty. I have seen, somewhere, that an empty holster is permissible even in a "posted GFZ" area, but couldn't find anything that stated what the rules would be surrounding spare mags/speedloaders. Again, please forgive me if...

    Carry at Bass Pro Shops

    A little late to ask this, but during some shopping for Christmas at Bass Pro Shops, I noticed a sign I hadn't seen before saying all weapons, including crossbows, had to be checked in at the customer service desk. Was this just a Christmas holiday thing, or is it the norm? And how does it...

    School grounds during a sporting event.....slightly off topic!

    I had a conversation with a Dinwiddie County Sherrif about this and haven't found the appropriate section of code to define it. If someone could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated! I know the law was changed to allow a weapon in a car on school grounds with a...

    imported post Has anyone seen this commercial playing on TV in the last couple days? http://www.adcouncil.org/default.aspx?id=57 Look on the right hand side of the page under Campaign material/Television/babies. It still amazes me that people will focus on this while there are so many other...

    Why I Openly Carry

    imported post I don't know if this has been posted before, but it is well written and makes the argument for open carry quite eloquently! Why I Carry Openly Someone once said that Texas was one of the most gun-friendly states? Hardly! TX has some of the most restrictive laws around. Not as...

    Twist on restaurant carry?

    imported post I'll start by saying there was no LEO involvement in this and there were zero issues, but I'd like some opinions from my learned colleagues on this one. I attended a function at a place that is designated a restaurant (In this case, the Hanover Country Club dining facility) that...

    Church meeting at a High School

    imported post I thought there was another thread for this question but couldn't find it, so if I am duplicating, please just delete this one. My Church meets in a high school auditorium and, with the recent increase in Church violence, we have started to develop a security plan. Reading...

    Warning!! ***Not OC*** Shameless Plug

    imported post I was going to put this in the general discussion area, but since it is VA related... Hopefully I don't get too terribly flamed, but I am in a local Richmond band called Alibi. http://www.alibiband.com/ It would be great to see some of my fellow OC'ers at any of the upcoming...

    This was posted on USConcealedCarry.org

    imported post I realize it is not necessarily Open Carry related, but the following was posted on USConcealedCarry.org's forum and is a scary testimonial to the Illinois LEO mindset! "Being in Illinois Law enforcement, if I see printing of a weapon, believe me, you have given me probable cause...

    Respone from a Chesterfield Police Officer

    imported post Just thought I'd throw this out for any comments or possible "like" stories. I play in a band with a Chesterfield County Police Officer, and thought I'd see what his feeling was on OC. My e-mail to him: "Since you are a Chesterfield County Police Officer, I thought I’d ask your...
