I applied for my CHP today...

[xjohnx]

Yep, it was there. Was ready ever since the 15th, so that's just over 2 weeks from when i dropped off my application.

Your so lucky..did you jus asked on the satus?..do they hold it and send a leter on the 30th day..imma call in a couple weeks incase they have mine and don't wanna say..btw I'm happy for you..congrats

I never got the letter, although a good bit of mail hasn't been getting to me lately, so probably the post offices fault. I just went in and asked if it was ready, and they had it for me.

Rico, I live in Alexandria and as a rule do not OC. Too many antis up here. Where do you live?

[804blessedsoul]

Henrico..yea I was thinkin about it and I don't have long b4 I get my chp so imma jus keep it home until..

Looks like you're in the sticks so I wouldnt worry about it. Be good practice for you. Only difference between now and then is now you see it and then you dont. You just have to make sure you know the law about where you can carry and how. Your gear and how you get it ready can still be the same.

Henrico isn't quite as populated as Alexandria but it isn't "the sticks." North/East sides of Richmond too, liberals abound as do psycho cops.

My mistake. I mapquested Henrico and found it way down on the border of NC. Glad to hear its closer. Nice to know another VGOF brother is within an easy drive.

They are nearly all in an easy drive distance from me. You can't get much more central (as in central VA) than where I live. I used to live near Richmond and worked at the airport so I know where Henrico is. Richmond Airport and *possibly* Green Top are in Henrico county.

Yeah, the henrico you found is on lake Gaston.... ironically enough, there's a river road in that Henrico as well as the henrico outside of richmond.. dejavu

[804blessedsoul]

Yea I'm definitely not in the sticks..I'm on the borderline of henrico and richmond city..westend henrico to be exact..

Luck you. I'm about as far away as you can get without actually living in DC or MD - shudder the thought. At least I have a 15 minute bus ride to work. I dont know how you do it, Gary.

One of the other guys lives in Blacksburg and I mapquested that. There are 3 of them in VA and all on I-81. I asked him which Blacksburg and he said what do you mean - which one. Then he mapquested it too. Ok he said. I live in the Blacksburg thats south of the other two.

Thats one of the things confusing about when we say here where we live. Some people give county and others give city. Sure wish I lived in the sticks. Some of these folks sip iced tea and shoot squirrels from their back porch...

Yea it would be nice..my sons grand mother lives out in goochland(manakin) but there's alot of houses around hers not to muc land til you go further down..I live 20 mins from the country and 10 mins from the city (downtown richmond)..wish I could walk out and shoot..ill build my own range if I lived in the sticks

[Moccasin]

Out in the sticks like this? My house is the red dot.

[804blessedsoul]

Wow...that's too much for me...ill go crazy w/out population..and then after a scary movie ill be shooting at every noise I hear outside..hahaha..would be nice for a visit tho..

[Moccasin]

As long as you don't hear a chainsaw in the middle of the night, you might be ok

Very true..but a bullet travels further than a chainsaw..

Yeah but if I woke up to the sound of a chainsaw in my bedroom a sheet change would be required afterwards...
