    Question about gun purchases and convictions

    I'm trying to do some research for a friend and I'm not having much luck finding the answer in the VA code. Probably just bad keyword searches. Anyway, what I'd like to know is if someone convicted of a felony can he still buy a gun? What if the person is charged and then the charges are dropped...

    Editing Digital Audio Recording

    I recorded some things at an outing I was at today. I was OCing and caught some cool audio that I'd like to share. Using a handheld digital recorder, I recorded over 5 hours of digital audio and really only need to share a few seconds of it. Is there an app that I can download that will allow...

    Plan to OC While Visiting Louisville

    I will be visiting Louisville, KY in September for a conference. I have a VA CHP and KY recognizes this permit. Since KY is and OC state I'd really like to OC while I am there. I’ll be staying at a Hyatt Regency just 1/2 block from “Fourth Street Live!” I'll be spending most of my time in...

    Not leaving home without it ever again

    That's it. I'm done. Tonight is the last time I leave the house without my gun. Some trucker and a car just tried to play some freak game and boxed me in on the Virginia beltway. I was coming back from the Alexandria waterfront around 10pm. At first I thought something was wrong and they were...

    OC in a restaurant that serves alcohol

    I've read through the PA laws but I'm still a bit unclear on this topic. I'm visiting from VA and have my CHP which has reciprocity with PA. Can I OC or CC in a restaurant that serves alcohol? Can I OC/CC in a bar or the bar area of a restaurant? While I do it drink when I OC or CC, I'd like...

    NoVA (Northern Virginia) - OC reports

    One of the friends I was with did see the sign and sent me the pick. Apparently not only are we a threat but we're pimply-faced nerds to boot.

    The Police Can't Help Us

    "Authorities say the last message they want battered women to take from this is that they cannot protect them. The sheriff says the data very clearly show that women who go for help are far safer that those who try to tough it out alone." I know most of us already know this but I don't see...
