I think you'd be in trouble even if the guy who shot the dog WAS NOT a cop. You posit a case where you would use deadly force to protect NOT your life and safety or that of your family, buy mere property (which is the legal status of a dog no matter how much the kiddies love it). That is an unjusti...

The little ones they'll have soon that hover outside your window and look in horizontally won't be thousands of feet up in the air... just sayin'

The BB&T in my neighborhood used to have a "no guns" sign, I believe, but when I walked in this weekend I noticed the main doors had no signs except for the lobby hours and "smoke free facility". I didn't go to to the back door to look, and I didn't ask. Many tellers are alr...

no worries, Mongo. Proshooter and i (and i'm sure a few others) will take the watch trying to prevent our rights (yours and ours) from being chipped away at, one inch at a time. 'we the people' have already given up far far too much, imho. Really? Are you so worried about the length of the chain th...

What you call silly and trivial, I call giving them an inch. I expect more out of my elected officials. Proshooter is making a philosophical point about "giving an inch", and it's an important and completely valid point that has concrete effects in reality. a non-trivial number of circuit...

So, you want the clerk to greet you with a smile in 5 years when you go to renew, because 5 years earlier you didn't give them a hassle about doing their job according to the law? What you call silly and trivial, I call giving them an inch. I expect more out of my elected officials. Well, if CHP re...

"otherwise my staff has to make the extra copies" YES, your staff....BECAUSE THAT IS THEIR JOB! If the system that you are using is inefficient, or you are understaffed, then that is up to you as the Clerk of Court to fix, so that you don't burden the citizens. If you can't fix it, then g...

You are not required to provide 3 copies of anything. That is a Fairfax (et al) extra-legal requirement because they are too lazy to walk down the hall and push the button on the copier. (snip...) I'm not trying to be rude at all here honestly, but that is just an example of what you don't get by t...

Not a lady, but i will comment about holsters. If you don't have somewhere private to shoot (i.e., you will be shooting at a range) then MOST will not let you practice with a shoulder holster because they feel that the risk of "sweeping" your muzzle across someone else on the range line is...

Radar or camera...wth...in physics, a wave is a wave, dude!

I have found a few decent firearm or ammo (closeouts, mostly) deals at shows over the last couple of years, but I have found more firearms by walking the perimeter and finding folks selling privately. I think that shows are the best place to find a variety of items you didn't even know you wanted wh...

Isn't your first almost always a, if not THE, favorite?

Me? No, I don't own any guns, sir!

Some jurisdictions will do a do-over if you ask for leniency and your driving record is not already blemished with tickets. Keep your nose clean for 6 months, come back to court and prove you didn't have any further tickets, and they erase the first ticket from your record. That last two weeks of my...

It's a good thing to be reminded from time to time that not all folks who inquire about a CHP are rookies starting from scratch. Many are fairly to highly experienced with firearms but just never considered having a CHP necessary before, or moved here from a state that perhaps was not "shall is...

Agree with ORS, but if you and the person who gave you the gun are both residents of VA, and you have a burning desire to be able to prove ownership for some reason, then I would think the easiest way to establish ownership would be a simple Bill of Sale. There is no need to send that info anywhere,...

Also, I had no idea they had ALTERNATIVES to "Statins"... Not only did the statins do me in, but my doc also says that Zetia (which was supposed to be different than statins, and avoid those side effect issues) is just as bad for much of the population. The Colestipol I mentioned is liste...

I think BB&T has a corporate No Guns policy. Look for a sticker like this on the front doors or on the main drive-thru teller window: The BB&T in my neighborhood used to have a "no guns" sign, I believe, but when I walked in this weekend I noticed the main doors had no signs excep...

and told them about the statins. They all said "Whoa, uh... call your doctor NOW!" I think I have been on all the statins... Liptor, Crestor, etc., and they all gave me muscle aching problems. My regular doc is a little old school and has changed me to an older drug called Colestipol, whi...

I did hear one of the instructors mention that the New York triggers were great for target shooting at paper, but that they were (in his opinion) too light for combat shooting, under stress. my bad... right sentiment, wrong name. I probably misheard the conversation regarding the NY trigger, but I ...
