As an organization requiring membership, they posted a policy within their rules of membership banning firearms? That's pretty solid evidence that you cannot bring a gun there, if that is the case.

Correct

The problem with "signage" is the person carrying can lay claim to "not seeing it". and the problem with that excuse is that the law doesn't care if you see it or not. Its a condition of entry issue; you are welcome on their property if you abide by the rules. If the sign says n...

Op, signs do not carry force of law in VA. The property owner can ask you to leave, and if you dont, they can have you arrested for trespassing. [ Post made via Mobile Device ] http://vagunforum.net/images/mobile.png Sorry, but that is not true at all. I wish that this myth would just die.

Member So I went to my local gun shop today and held the Gen 4 Glock 20 as well as the Gen 3. Now I already own a Glock 19 Gen 3 and no matter what I do I cannot eject the mag without changing my grip on the Gen 3 19. Even with the Gen 4 G20, I still have to change my grip in order to eject the mag...

Why did she choose a .380 revolver? Why not a .38 or .357?

The other option is good old' wasp killer. Get that in they eyes of an attacker, and they'll be out of action for a while. 50 state legal, Yes, legal....as a pesticide. Not for a planned defensive spray. Terrible suggestion. Illegal to use in that manner (not consistent with intended use) and its a...

Easy answer - Someone put a $500 gun in a $5 holster.

At this point, if you vote for anyone other than Trump you are wasting your vote.

That's not correct. Its got nothing to do with what can be seen. Its all about how you are carrying it.

MarcSpaz wrote:I would recommend some light reading. The code of Va seems to say that if a sign is posted and you violate that sign, its trespassing, it's a Class 1 misdemeanor.

I agree 100% with your reading of the law.

The answer to all of this was in the officer's statement "when my hands met, the gun fired..."etc. My bet is - The right hand drew the weapon. As the left hand was coming up to assume the 2 handed grip, he was probably watching the suspect. The left hand, instead of wrapping around the sho...

Where did you get that from? That is not correct at all.

There was probably some kind of lock on it, locking it into place in the vehicle.

Many officers used to keep patrol rifles in the trunk.....until officers started getting pinned down by fire and couldn't get to the trunk.

I wouldn't worry.

This is actually a pretty well known AD situation from Europe. Its a few years old, I believe.

If anyone thinks that this was an accident, and the boat accidentally drifted there, they're crazy.

This was a mission.

Yes, 6 hours....may run a bit longer with questions, etc.

That's interesting the differences in locales. I am in Central Virginia and I was told I would get a card in the mail to come pick up my permit . Its been less than a week now for me. You got yours in the mail. Not a big deal either way but interesting. Congrats on your permit!!! They have to send ...
