Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

I watched the funniest thing tonight. My street is private property. We have a company plow our street for us when it snows, but they get busy and don't make it here for awhile, depending on how bad the weather is.

We are at the bottom of a steep hill on a dead-end. There is about 8 inches of unplowed snow covering the road. I let my tire pressure down to 18 psi, locked the lockers an put it in 4x4 as I head to McDonald's.

I come home to find 6 of my neighbors trying to push 1 4x4 and 2 cars UP HILL!!! Hahahaha

I was dying from laughter. I felt bad when I was done, but not bad enough to help. I would have pulled them out, but I don't feel like being the victum of a law suit if I rip a part off their vehicle while towing them.

NRA versus bad guy....

The answer to a bad snowman with a gun is a good snowman with a gun.

Um, you may want to take those pics down. The bad snowman has his hands up and looks like he was surrendering when he was shot. Ask Darren Wilson what a PITA that narrative feels like.

LOL. I thought of that after the fact and found out from bystanders that the hands went up AFTER shots were fired. Video captured from game cams appear to confirm claims. Remember, these pictures are only snapshots in time.

Pretty much describes our state as we were making them!

Hands up, Don't melt!

Looks like a bad guy got iced...

I heard that the guy with the rifle was one cool character.

That seems to me to be awfully cold blooded.

Alright you guys, cool it.

The NRA dude has ice in his veins... well at least he did.
Today he looks a little depressed.

Nah, There's absolutely nothing to worry about. They're both white.

White as snow, in fact,

It is always interesting to see people who buy 4X4's for snow, who don't really know what they can/can't do with 4WD, and how to use it properly.

In my time in MN when the snow first hit, often the first vehicles to hit the ditch were Tahoes, Expeditions, etc. apparently driven by people who thought 4WD would let them drive like it was still dry pavement.

Of course, there was the folks, my coworker encountered, that started having far less trouble, in the snow, with their FWD car.... after figuring out that the parking brake was set.....

Amen. I'll never forget when I got ahold of my first 4WD, a 1955 CJ5 Jeep (which was 13 years old at the time). 4WD vehicles were, even out here in the mountains, fairly rare back then. It was years before every teenager wanted one because they were cool. While I was still amazing people by painting it electric blue instead of Jeep green, upholstering the seats with white naugahyde with red piping, and putting extra-wide white wheels on it (older folks were shaking their heads and wondering what that damnfool boy thought he was doing) and before I'd gotten it on the road, my Pappy prevailed upon an old man who had always driven a jeep to take me under his wing and teach me how to drive one. My initial reaction to this was that I already knew all there was to know about driving, but Pappy undoubtedly saved my life that day. The first lesson began with the first words this guy spoke to me. They were:

"Son, a four wheel drive will take you a into lot of places it can't bring you back out of, including the grave."

Then he proceeded to take me out into the woods and scare the crap out of me by showing me several ways it could do just that. If there's anything that ought to come with special training, it's 4WD vehicles; not guns.

Ain't that the truth. I go out to the GWNF to go camping and 4-wheeling. I can't tell you how many people I pulled out of places they should have never been. I just lost count. And that's not even rough country.

I have been using the light snow to teach my kids how to drive their rear-wheel drive cars in the snow. Showing them a car slammed into a pole on dale boulevard with no cops, fire or rescue anywhere to be found and several abandoned trucks in ditches, really helped drive home the point that they need to stay off the roads unless it absolutely mandatory and remember my lessons if they want to make it home.

My daughter and her friend have/or still own(ed) up to 15 jeeps.
Many of them were bought as part cars. Several are/were CJ5s.
At one time she was driving 7 of 9. (Star Trek Voyager reference)

Because of her I find this amusing.


While I was searching for the above picture I saw a quote that would scare the hell out of me if I heard it in person.
"Buckle up, I want to try something."
