    Do state employees have any rights here?

    Does anyone legal here have any knowledge of any kick-back/blow-back state employees can do about this NO GUNS mess the Gov has done to our state workplaces? We now have a big WELCOME sign over our office doors to evil-doers, and WHAT is our recourse other than to quit our professions and...

    Carry/defense on a beach?

    Hearing the news today of 39 killed on a beach resort in Tunisia, I have to ask, how can we reasonably defend ourselves on a beach against a gunman? Either OC or CC, how it that possible, and if not, are we agreeing that no one on here who says they ALWAYS carry, never go swimming on a beach...

    4-H shooting camp today

    Wife dropped off our oldest boy today at 4-H shooting camp at Wakefield 4-H Camp. Ages 9-17. Does anyone here know about or help out at this camp? They have in-line muzzleloaders, shotgun, rifles, and archery, as well as a combination of all. I never could get that place to start an Appleseed...

    NRA vs. VCDL

    "Janis for Senate" ad I just heard on WRVA radio touts an "A rating from the NRA." HOW LONG will it take for politicians to realize that doesn't impress the 2A crowd in Virginia? I want to know if he was endorsed by VCDL Pac or not! Are we fooling ourselves? Are we just a paper tiger still...

    Duty to notify??

    The Lee Brothers on WRVA radio 1140 am talk show just said you HAVE to notify an officer if you are armed in your car at a traffic stop if you have the CHP (which they know from your license). Is that true? Said he should have known it as it is the first thing they teach in the CHP "class."...

    Women's self-defense Nov 18 in Franklin, Va.

    I see in the newspaper there will be a female self-defense seminar held in Franklin, Va. on Nov 18. In the article, nowhere do I see a mention of firearms as a topic. I guess they just want you to do every thing ELSE, BUT the most effective thing? I don't know, but thought some of you education...

    So, what's the plan tomorrow?

    So, we never got a survey response from the GOP fellow for senate. Are we going to ride this mother right into the ditch tomorrow, single-issue suicide, or are we going to do anything of substance to see the Dem voted out of office?

    "active shooter class" in Windsor, Va.

    I see in today's Smithfield Times the local and state LEOs and local Ruritan club are having a class on this topic in the Windsor High School on Oct 13. I'm glad my kids don't go to a formal school house. If they did, since these government idiots refuse to allow any faculty to carry, I would...

    VA OC activist targeted for camping violations on his own farm

    I have received moderator blessings to bring this to your attention. I previously mentioned on OCDO how Isle of Wight County came after me when I let a disabled hunting friend of mine from Norfolk park his camper on my 86 acre farm so he could spend the night when he came over an hour away to...

    Virus on OCDO?

    For the last several months (back before the 2013 elections), I have been unable to participate in the OCDO forums. I can look at it, and log in as myself, but cannot enter any input. I wondered if I had been blocked, so, through an OCDO friend, I made contact with the website, and found out I...

    Police lying to us

    I was listening to the talk radio out of Norfolk, and heard someone (calling himself a local LEO) telling the radio listeners that here is how the police can get you to "consent" to a search: He said, if they stop you, they will say, "I'm going to search you now, OK?" And HE said, if the...

    Gov't job wants me fingerprinted!

    My state job (I'm almost 20 years) now wants us to get fingerprinted to be credentialled because we do work for the federal government, and this is the new expectation by the feds. Can I be forced to do this, or fired, if I refuse? If I go along, can this come back to haunt me later in the new...

    Have I missed the 2013 picnic this year? I don't see anything about it?

    ankle holster with shorts ??

    Tonight at McDonalds, a young woman came in with some kind of strapping on her ankle, just one side. I immediately assumed it was an ankle holster. I soon determined it was not, but it got me to thinking, would it be bad security for a OC person to carry in an ankle holster while wearing shorts...

    Giffords and husband at it again !

    At a stop in Nevada, Kelly said through their "research we have found that a lot of criminals buy guns at gun shows and over the Internet and that needs to change." http://news.yahoo.com/gabby-giffords-meets-george-h-w-bush-gun-004815931--abc-news-politics.html When do the defenders of...
