Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

I recently picked up The Constituion in Exile by Judge Napolitano. So far it has been an excellent read. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for more from him.

Both of ours came in the mail today. 14 days total from the time of submission. Definitely not as bad a wait as some folks I know indicated

congrats kinetic, welcome to the club :friends: gunderwood absolutely nailed it on the source of of the poor feeding issues. What may also help is looking for HP ammo that has a more rounded tip to it. Speer Gold Dots have worked well for me in that regard. I have found that most people I take shoot...

just a little caution - be careful about long term storage in foam lined anything. The foam can trap humidity and promote surface rust. Those cases, as I understand, are really intended for short term storage, like going to and from a range. But, this is what i understand, so YMMV. I can attest to ...

Looks great! Were you using a different foam than what originally came in the case? I was under the impression that the Pelican cases came with foam that you could break out little squares to fit what you wanted in them. I know that's how they were with the equipment cases we had at my last job. Als...

Yes it was for a resident permit. If it takes the full 45 days I should get it mid March. From others I have talked to the turn around is usually 3 weeks, so hopefully we should get them around the 20th of February.

Well, yesterday my wife and I dropped off our applications for a CHP. The lady that processed our paperwork said we were the 125th and 126th applicants they have had since the first of the year. I definitely think that's a good sign

Now we just have to wait through that backlog.

Virginians, Tomorrow morning, my House Rep, Bob Goodlatte, will be reading the US Constitution into the House record. Here's the message I got in my mail: Goodlatte Announces Reading of U.S. Constitution on House Floor Tune in on Tuesday, January 15 at 10 AM Tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. I will lead ...

Specifically, the popular provisions in the legislation would: Require background checks for every gun purchase (74% NRA member support); Require background checks on gun shop employees (79% NRA member support); Prohibit individuals on the terrorist watch list from purchasing firearms (71% NRA memb...

Andy, Three cheers for your insightful assessment of this situation, I have contacted my elected state and federal representatives to make my voice heard. But I will wager that precious few on this forum have done the same. Some are too busy complaining about websites crashing as they attempt to bu...

You wont be disappointed with the XD. Go shoot it and let us know how it goes

@Dragonzfury050: I hadn't considered SA's EMP models, but they look like handsome little guns! Only downsides for my intended use is that it's half the bang-bang pills for twice the price. :( Maybe around tax-return time I'll consider one, but the XD's $430-500ish price tag is a whole lot more appe...

Have you taken a look at the EMP models from Springfield Armory? Comes in 9mm and .40 and is in a smaller 1911 frame. Conceals well, isn't as heavy as a duty size weapon, and IMHO just plain looks better than the XDs, Glocks, or other offering. It's only a single stack, but some of the other offers ...

I carry a 1911 in a Milt Sparks VMII just about all day everyday. I think your biggest issue is going to be finding a holster that works for you. I tried a couple before getting to the VMII, but they just weren't what I was looking for. Also, be sure to get a good sturdy belt. The only other thing I...

Shut down by the GOP establishment, unfortunately. Otherwise he'd have still been a Republican and would've beaten Obama/Biden.

ding!

Rather, it's to point out how silly this notion of secession is. Folks, we've been there before, and it is just doggone silly. Yes, this "we're seceding from the Union" talk is laughable. Seriously. The subject is in no way "silly" or "laughable". It's about as serious...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> There is some truth in what you say, I admit. BUT: (1) If Romney is the wrong candidate, is Obama the right one? Why isn't it rational to vote for the least wrong one?

that...is...awesome. love the mantle display

Thank you for your post JC77, i feel a little less alone in the wilderness now lol. I didn't fall for the GOP's BS as long as you (I only voted Republican down the line for 6 years) but it was liberating to wake up and realize I and everyone else was getting screwed no matter who won. There isnt ma...

Romney isn't perfect, but he is not evil. Those who voted third-party helped evil prevail. May God have mercy on your souls. Or, as we say out here in the sticks: Well, bless your heart... I never said he was. I said he was the wrong candidate. As for "helping evil prevail", the establish...
