    Amicus curiae brief from Dems

    I would have thought this would have been posted, but I don't see it. The actual brief submitted by the Dem senators. To me it reads like an editorial gussied up with big margins and lots of footnotes. I do have to admit that, though I am not a lawyer and don't often read the actual...

    After-Action Report - Town Hall on "Gun Safety" - Wexton 6/22/19

    AFTER ACTION - Wexton "Town Hall on Gun Safety" 1. Some time after printing the materials for her "town hall", Mx. Wexton apparently changed her mind. She refused to use the term "gun safety" (who among her staff reads this page, I wonder) and used instead "gun violence prevention." 2...

    Virginia Museum of Fine Arts

    Is VMFA posted? From their website, it seems to be private. While it wouldn't surprise me if it is posted ... If it is, are there metal detectors or searches? i.e is "don't ask, don't tell" in effect? I must go. I will not deny my parents the opportunity to see the terracotta warriors...

    Question for NRA Voting Members

    Any insights into which of the NRA Board candidates are anti-open carry? The only one I know of off the top of my head is Carrie Lightfoot. I'm seriously considering following Jeff Knox' bullet voting recommendations, but if I choose to vote for more, I don't want to vote for one who wants to...

    MASF Civilian Carry Mindset Seminar

    I'm attending this seminar. It was originally scheduled for this weekend (26 Aug) but has been rescheduled to allow more to attend. Not a shooting course, but those of you who have expressed interest in hearing Dan Hawes may be interested. He is not the only good speaker who will present.

    Birmingham Museum of Art

    As a visitor to Alabama, I read through the relevant code sections, checked handgunlaw.us, and verified whether "signs have the force of law" in Alabama. Checked preemption laws, and checked museum ownership. Then we went to the Birmingham Museum of Art, which is owned by the City, and found...

    Issues with forum software

    For the past couple of weeks, any time I try to reply to a post, the system appears to ignore my space bar on the first line. I end up having to type a couple of words, then advance to the next line and start the post for real. It's only ocdo; it's only on replies. That suggests it's not my...

    Facebook Group - Unapologetic Open Carry

    Anyone here belong to that group? Trying to figure out why the hell I got booted out. My last comment replied to someone who prefers to conceal for tactical advantage, and my comment said while I recognize your point, I disagree, but the whole point is to carry. When I went back to see the...

    Scott Surovell announces bid to replace Toddy Puller

    Scott Surovell is at least as anti-gun as Toddy Puller; the difference is he is every-so-slightly less dismissive when talking to you face-to-face. But he's running for her seat. What do you all know about Dumfries Mayor Jerry Foreman, who has already announced his candidacy?

    Pre-VCDL meeting dinner at Juke Box Diner

    Logistical concerns make it impractical for my family to join VCDL members in their traditional post-meeting trek to Juke Box Diner. The sooper secret pre-meeting meetup may or may not still be going on, but I won't go there. So, I propose dinner at Juke Box Diner on the 17th at 6PM for anyone...

    What did you see at Lobby Day?

    I had no problem entering the GAB. I did NOT go through the CHP door, as I was carrying a bag. I saw one person turned away from the CHP door because he was not carrying. I would have liked to say something -- it is advertised as a CHP door, not a door for persons carrying firearms. And my...
