Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

Good Morning Patriots! I have to confess, I am somewhat uncomfortable with the criminal justice system in the United States. Not just talking about "precedents", but the issue as a whole. All too often, it seems the "system" is not a system and the "system" is not reall...

Good Morning Fellow Virginians and Gun Owners! Someone within this thread said that some of the "information" is "good" and some is "crap". Agreed, however, the problem we all have with this issue appears to regard how solid the ground we stand on is if we are forced to...

Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen! The responses on this issue are excellent! I had hoped we might get a very active thread going on the matter of "castle" and "stand" issues because it is for these concerns that we arm ourselves. Right? Generally, your responses point out the si...

Good Evening Fellow Patriots and Gun Owners! The "castle" doctrine and "duty to retreat" issues are interesting subjects. A few months back, before I went on several trips, I constructed what I felt could have been an adequate and appropriate suggestion for a "castle" a...

Hello Fellow Gunners and Patriots! I sent my "e" mail, made a phone call and wrote a personal letter to my US Representative today and sent a "courtesy" copy to Ms. Pelosi as well. I have now done this three times, each sucessive time, worded more strongly than the last. Pray for...

Greetings Fellow Patriots and Freedom Lovers! I just returned from extensive travels in California and I am glad to be back in mostly "gun friendly" Virginia. I realize this thread is a little old, but since I've been gone traveling, please indulge me and allow me to jump back in again on ...

Good Evening Fellow Patriots and Law-Abiding Virginia Gun Owners: This terrible statistic shouldn't surprise any of us. I am following the ruling on the "Chicago gun ban" pending in the SCOTUS and anticipate that shortly, Mayor Daley and his gang of thugs, henchmen and fellow crooks will h...

Greetings Ben and Welcome to the VGOF! Yes, there's a lot of excellent information here covering a wide variety of gun-related and other subjects. Are you considering a firearm purchase? If so, there are a few for sale on this site and I have a couple I might like to sell as well. Since you say you ...

Greetings "Secondhandloser" and Welcome to the VGOF! I am Albert Shank and I live here in Charlottesville. I am a member of the Rivanna Rifle and Pistol Club here. How about you? Please stop by and visit. We meet the 2nd Thursday of every month from 1930 until about 2100 or so. Indoor rang...

Good Evening Fellow Gun Owners and Patriots of This Great Commonwealth! This morning at 0530, I put the "finishing touches" on the proposed "castle" and "stand" doctrine suggested for citizens of the Commonwealth and forwarded it in "Word" format attachment to...

Greetings Fellow Patriots and Gun Owners of the Commonwealth! The issue of "race" should never be identifiable on ANY government form. What the hell makes the difference what "race" you are anyway? Aren't we all "Americans" in this great land? I can guarantee you one th...

Greetings Fellow Patriots and Virginia Gun Owners! Thanks ever so much for your positive contributions! I haven't heard from as many of you as I thought I might, but the "night is still young" and I am hoping for more input from any of you on this critically important law for all of us. Th...

Good Morning "Greybeard"! Top of the day to you! I appreciate your confidence and am hoping we can get this "moving" for all of us here in this great Commonwealth. I consider this law to be a top priority for all lawful gun owners here and everywhere in our great nation. It disma...

Good Morning Fellow Virginia Gun Owner! I got in on the "tail end" of your post and the various replies you have received, however, let me ask you just exactly what did you plead "nolo contendre" (no contest) to? This plea has the same effect as a conviction here in the Commonwea...

Good Morning Fellow Virginians and Patriots! This is the text of the suggested "castle" and "stand" law for Virginia: (1) A person is presumed to hold a reasonable fear of death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another person when using defensive force that is likely...

Good Evening Fellow Patriots and Lawful Gun Owners of the Commonwealth of Virginia: For those of you who have been following this thread, I advised in my last post that I would attempt to come up with a good "castle" and "stand" law for the citizens of the Commonwealth that we mi...

Greetings and Happy Easter Fellow Patriots! You've heard it said, "God helps those who help themselves". Two of you is a great start! Just for fun, I stayed up half the night researching this topic on the net. There's a lot out there and much of it extremely helpful I also addressed a requ...

Good Evening Fellow Gun Enthusiasts and Patriots! First, let me express my sincere appreciation for all your replies to this thread. On that note, I will now close it on my behalf, but in doing so, I have hopefully gotten one or more of you to thinking about the circumstances under which we bear our...

Congratulations on your new Virginia CHP! Mine took about 40 days and I had to answer "interrogatories" from the City Sheriff regarding my record in the NCIC. Back when we were kids, my brother and I slugged it out with some "out of line", "wise mouth" cops in my home t...

Kaos:

I absolutely love this! Kudos to your son for pointing it out to you. Yes, it might indeed be "too late" the 2nd time around.

Much respect and thanks!

Albert
