We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :)
Please help by posting all issues here.
The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Newport News passed an open carry ban in municipal buildings last week. This week I spoke at a zoning board meeting at the city hall council chambers. I was carrying something in a CZ82 flap holster. Police officer approached me and said “open carry was illegal”. I told him there was no...
Florence is threatening. I hope my preparations are for naught, but I prepare none the less. I hope my return to OCDO finds everybody here well prepared.

Wow. Better to be lucky than good. Republicans retain House of Delegates today with a coin toss win. (I know, not literally a coin toss, but the same effect)
Will Republicans retain the House againin 2019 with Timmy on the ballot for the Dems? This will be a hard fought election, without the...
12 days until Virginia elections and VCDL PAC has still not endorsed statewide candidates.
Why is it taking so long for VCDL PAC to announce endorsements? It is a pity that endorsements come so late. Many, including those serving overseas in the military must vote absentee and the...
Here is what Bob Sadtler, Chairman of VCDL PAC is said:

What does Constitutional Carry Mean?
Most who have been here and have argued for it for years would say constitutional carry is the ability to carry openly or concealed without a permit or license.

The very helpful boot licking people at the NRA have introduced the term...
Yes the baggage area in Ft Lauderdale was a gun free zone. Florida, like Virginia has a law against firearms possession in non-secure areas of airport terminal buildings. This needs correcting. We should not be disarmed anywhere where the government has not taken affirmative steps to ensure...
Two Senate Seats are up for grabs on 10 January, with the balance of power (senate majority)hanging in the balance. Haven't heard a peep from VCDL about the special elections. Wonder if they just forgot??
Funny thing is the balance of power could be decided by, wait for it, Wait for it...

Plastic guns, really? Oh well, here is to hoping Sig Sauer wins the big contract!
Why would the NRA-ILA endorse Trump without grading him? The answer is simple. His grade would not merit endorsement. He would be at best an Aq which is not good enough for NRA Endorsement. That is the best grade he could get because he has no legislative experience.
Look in the Virginia...
Just got this notice:
All Virginia Dealers,
The FBI NICS has transitioned to a New NICS System today. VCheck is experiencing connectivity issues with the new system. Dealers may continue to enter transactions and they will be worked once the issues are resolved.

"In the wake of the Orlando massacre, the largest slaughter of Americans by a lone gunman, City Council passed 4-0 a resolution demanding state and federal legislators enact legislation to require comprehensive background checks and ban assault weapons. The resolution also asked the General...
McAwful has proposed a change to the HB 766, Concealed Handguns, Carrying with a valid Protective Order. Not only does McAwful want the victim to jump through all of the hoops needed to get a CHP, he also wants the victim to complete in person training, a requirement that is greater than that...
Yes the title is correct. The NRA does not advocate for a constitutional carry solution. They will put all of their horses behind a Virginia total recognition law. Very typical P4P Law.

The VCDL PAC endorsements seem much more even handed than its prior election endorsements. They seem to be based primarily upon the candidate surveys. Still we have to wonder why the only Very Pro Gun rated candidate in the Senate that was not endorsed was the Libertarian.
The most striking...
