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.
Yes, I am familiar with the hidden from common observation language in § 18.2-308 for concealed carry. That logic also makes the assumption that what is not concealed carry is open carry. Not sure that will fly. It will be very interesting to see how the Virginia courts interpret the...
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...
I have been a vendor at many gun shows. After witnessing the lack of gun discipline by some patrons, I have grown to appreciate why this is needed. As a gun owner I don't like it, but I understand it.
Happy New Year. Only 3 posts in the Hampton Roads forum in 2018. I remember when we had over a hundred a day when BMWAG was arrested and LEO 229 was being his typical self. Ahhhh the good old days.
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.
Live prepared or die,

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!
