Just wanted to drop a quick posting to say that we really enjoyed ourselves today, and also to thank everyone that allowed the kids to shoot their weapons! Everyone was extremely friendly and nice, and we look forward to attending many more functions!

Sorry all. The plows came by again this morning and completely blocked the driveway. I spent my day shoveling more snow. Hope a good time was had by all.

Hi guys,

I just wanted to say I had a great time. Thank you for coming, being generous, and welcoming.

I hope we can do this again soon!

[allingeneral]

Thanks to everyone who showed up. I think we had somewhere around 10 adults, total and a couple of kids. I think everyone had a nice time. Here are a few pictures.

Sorry I missed it but it took some time to clear my driveway again. I'm so sick of snow I could vomit. Spring cant get here quick enough.

And here is the code section that we discussed briefly at lunch regarding certain localities being specifically mentioned in state law regarding carrying of a loaded firearm. Note that the second paragraph exempts CHP holders from these restrictions.

� 18.2-287.4. Carrying loaded firearms in public areas prohibited; penalty.

It shall be unlawful for any person to carry a loaded (a) semi-automatic center-fire rifle or pistol that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material and is equipped at the time of the offense with a magazine that will hold more than 20 rounds of ammunition or designed by the manufacturer to accommodate a silencer or equipped with a folding stock or (b) shotgun with a magazine that will hold more than seven rounds of the longest ammunition for which it is chambered on or about his person on any public street, road, alley, sidewalk, public right-of-way, or in any public park or any other place of whatever nature that is open to the public in the Cities of Alexandria, Chesapeake, Fairfax, Falls Church, Newport News, Norfolk, Richmond, or Virginia Beach or in the Counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Henrico, Loudoun, or Prince William.

The provisions of this section shall not apply to law-enforcement officers, licensed security guards, military personnel in the performance of their lawful duties, or any person having a valid concealed handgun permit or to any person actually engaged in lawful hunting or lawful recreational shooting activities at an established shooting range or shooting contest. Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.

The exemptions set forth in � 18.2-308 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the provisions of this section.

Right, but if I'm reading he law correctly, Carrying a Glock 17, or 19 with a 19/15 round clip should be ok. (Since the law applies to pistols with 20+ round clips).

Yes, I would agree with that interpretation (IANAL)

[IanMcC]

Hey it ws great seeing guys today even though i couldnt shoot and had to make sure everyone was safe

[allingeneral]

Hi Ian. Thanks for fixing graybeard321's lane today. Sorry for coming in and breaking things! lol

[nickf829]

I had a great time today, it was nice to meet you all. Thanks to everyone who let me blow off a few rounds. Also, thanks for letting me be the resident cheapskate by not only using a guest pass but then taking everyones brass (after asking of course). I'll be out to the next one definately..

[allingeneral]

I almost forgot - a special "Thank you" to graybeard321 and URFIR3D for offering some free guest passes to some of the folks who showed up.

SharpShooters requires a minimum 1 month membership at $12.00 plus a $10.00 range fee (or something like that) and the guest passes offered up by these two generous souls allowed some people to get in for free (me included). All I paid for were some targets.

Thanks guys!

good times yesterday .. good to meet all of you had alot of fun , cant wait for the next

[BluemontGlock]

Folks,
what a great time!
good to be out pulling the trigger...great to put faces with names and meet a few new folks and sharing some time and firearms...

Nice pieces everyone...
the S&W .40 of Ricks, the Tims .22 mini... ( and you boy is going to be a sharp shooter, that kid took to guns like a fish to water and he practiced proper gun saftey the entire time i was watching.NICE JOB ON YOUR PART)
the Ruger Mark II...(NICE!!!!) but hands down the one i enjoyed the most was Nick's (formerly DK's) Kimber.45 WOW.... "Spot On" is an understatement ...between the hogue grips and the crisp sight picture...that is a great shooting pistol!

Thanks all...let do it again soon outside and with some skeet thrown in for good measure...

[zephyp]

Oh man...I missed my old Kimber? I'd love to see how Nick tricked it out. Those pics were nice but I'm sure its prettier in person...

....Why are there so many crotch shots? AIM FOR THE HEAD PEOPLE, THE HEAD!!


*edit* also yes I know there are going to be some jokes about that statement but I didn't realize the funny when I was typing it...

[graybeard321]

I agree with DK, I am so sick of snow. I know that I had a good time, just seeing the smiles on the young childrens face aas they were shooting the different firearms made the whole event a sucess for me. I am looking foward to our first outdoor shoot. I have a 3/4 cock professional skeet launcher which I can bring
