    I took a couple of friends to the range. It was her first time shooting; he'd been shooting before but something like 15 years ago and not that much. Several weeks ago, she was talking about getting a firearm "just for the house" and "just for when he's away." And he said "I don't really...

    Official Source for "JRC Rule"

    imported post I'm trying to find the source for the rule that prohibits carry at the General Assembly building and property without a CHP. The rule has been discussed at OCDO, it's listed at VCDL.org, and there are a few "news" reports from when it was enacted. However, all of those only...
