Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

I am pretty new to handgun ownership in general. I was looking around the internet yesterday and came across an IDPA page somewhere. This really sounds like fun and good practice. Unless I misunderstood, a newb like me can participate in these matches. Can anyone confirm this and where in my area ca...

They do use their own filters; however they are comprised largely of rbl's, dnsbl's, xbl's and other heuristics including but not limited to simple static black and white lists. The server that vgof mail is relayed thru is on the uceprotect level 2 list and has been for some time. This is a list tha...

Roll crimp or no crimp etc. If we don't know what you are doing then we can't help. Bill I will do my best: .45 acp 230gr copper coated round...
