Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

My opinion (LEO here, btw) is that we have gotten away from common sense on both sides. LEO's need to take a step back and approach the issue differently. OC'ers are not the enemy, they are normal, law-abiding citizens, who often share mutual interests in firearms. OC'ers need to go back to lawfully...

You know what? F'ck'em. Sorry for being blunt, but I hate: -Antigunners (people, corporations, groups, etc.,etc.,) -Anti Gun politicians -Bullies with badges/guv'mit credentials -the Media -the heads of any political parties. I love: -Fellow Gun owners -Rednecks (I repeat myself) -"Come-Heres&...

I can confirm that I have been allowed to purchase with a driver's license and bank statement of matching address.

Multiple gun stores and purchases.

Hope it helps, and welcome to VA!

I believe that is a clip from the film "Surviving Edged Weapons". We had to watch it as part of our defensive tactics class in academy. Very eye-opening and sobering film. (Also very graphic) really drives the point home about the danger of edged weapons and the importance of training to r...

Organizations? perhaps.

Actual officers?

Far from it.

Not going to be a popular opinion and for not having many posts here I will probably be flamed but I never back down from speaking my mind... It is freedom from religion, when the government favors any religion in any context there is a problem. Bible verses clearly are religious in nature and shou...

Hey VGOF, Up for sale today is my former duty holster. (We just went to the light-bearing versions of the same model) It's a great, functional holster that securely holds your weapon. the holster is in great shape, with very minor wear from use. *This holster will hold the following firearms: Glock ...

Criminals don't obey laws. It's no more complicated than that. LEO's know this first hand.

A little background - I have a guy on my team that I inherited. I found out he's a felon, convicted for shooting into a crowd of people from a vehicle. (Not sure how he passed our background check to be a sysadmin here.) A couple of the guys on the team know I take folks out to try shooting, and ha...

Yep. I went to the FBURG show as well. Bought a bunch of stuff, but no ammo. Prices were beyond ridiculous at most tables.

A real shame. I was actually about to go and buy some christmas presents there this week. Won't be doing that now.

Today's Lesson in Irony The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing the greatest amount of free meals and food stamps ever, to 46 million people. Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, as...

I would strongly encourage you to use bills of sale whenever you deal in firearms. I've never heard someone say "Man, I just wish I didn't have ALL this documentation to cover my ass." While you might not be breaking any laws by not using one, I personally prefer to have documentation for ...

Finishing a teenage girl who's already down and incapacitated off with a head shot is NOT self-defense. If you think that's not murder, my advice is to forget you own a firearm until you've tyaken some courses that address these issues. This. Anyone with any kind of defensive firearms training know...

Grats on the new pistol! Glad to hear you're enjoying it.

Could you maybe take some pictures with the Glock you usually carry, to compare dimensions? (Width, height, length, etc?) that would be awesome! Also, what type of holster system are you utilizing for CCW?

A proper pocket holster covers the gun's trigger and trigger guard completely. You should not have anything else besides the gun and holster in the pocket. Guns don't discharge when they are properly holstered or cased - they discharge when they are being handled. This. Use a proper holster, take r...

Haha, I'm working armed security at my Public housing site tomorrow night. I can only imagine the kind of night we're going to have in the wake of an Obama defeat. That said, I do hope Romney wins but I am doubtful it will actually happen. Regardless of the outcome, I think we will be in for an inte...

Why would I trade rights I DO have, for rights we SHOULD have?

At the risk of sounding like a fan-boy, I will say that 5.11 does make good products. I use several of their items at work, mostly pants and a few of the shirts from time to time. I have yet to experience any issues with them, and I put my gear to work. (I work security in public housing; think foot...
