    They've been asking the wrong question.

    For the past couple of years, the thing I keep hearing is that "there has been no evidence of widespread voter fraud", right? But whether or not there was evidence of widespread voter fraud is the wrong question. First off, no one ever said there was "widespread" fraud - it was local to five...

    Black Guns Matter

    See their website at https://blackgunsmatter.myshopify.com/ Philadelphia resident Maj Toure organized the movement in order to promote the right to self defense for everyone in America. I've always maintained that the basic reason that Washington D.C. and adjacent Prince George's County...

    Why the sudden rash in "mass shootings"?

    Sure, the shooters are crazy people, who form a random element in society. So it's theoretically possible that all the sudden instances are merely coincidental. But I don't believe it. I think someone acting on behalf of the fascists has been roiling up crazy young men to goad them into...

    Lawyer suggestion (seein' as how I'm no longer available)

    He's not licensed in Va., but has a very good understanding of Va. firearms/defense law, can be admitted on a case-by-case basis, and can cover the Northern part of the Commonwealth easily. I have no direct knowledge of his litigation skills but in talking to him, I was satisfied that he knows...

    Today, Virginia; tomorrow, THE WORLD!

    In Virginia, where I live, primary elections are open to all registered voters - no one registers by their party affiliation. I've been trying to motivate Repubs. to vote on March 3 in the Demo's primary to get Sanders nominated. (The polls today show Bloomberg and Sanders in the lead with 22%...

    "Brandishing" as justification for LEO's use of deadly force

    https://www.wmal.com/2020/01/29/police-swat-officer-shoots-fairfax-county-man-who-brandished-gun/ Admittedly, this defendant has a long history of illegal activity (I checked the docket), and was apparently being targeted for some drug possession charge. But what disturbs me is that the police...

    Political Action

    We need to flood the Dem's primary on March 3 - any registered voter can vote in either primary (but not both). We should do everything we can to make sure the most unelectable candidate wins their nomination. I'm thinking Sanders, because I don't think he's got a snowball's chance of...

    Virginia's "brandishing" statute under Constitutional Attack in Fed. Ct.

    This is a topic I've been railing about for years. The plain text of Virginia's brandishing statute says that if a person "points, holds or brandishes" any firearm or anything that looks like a firearm "in such manner" as would cause a hypothetical person to "feel fear" that he was about to be...

    Be the first to call the cops.

    I just watched a "youtoob" advertisement - one of those "skip ad in n seconds" things - preceding one I wanted to watch about the Ruger PC-9 carbine (that used to use the same magazines as the P- series pistols). It was a pretty good ad for USCCA, in which a guy's relating his experience with...

    ammo cans on sale

    just thought I'd let you know, it appears Tractor Supply Company has fifty-cal sized steel ammo cans on sale for $6.39. The plastic ones are also on sale, but I think they're eight bucks; smaller cans proportionally sale priced as well. (I have no connection with TSC, by the way, just saw...

    Skidmark's Will

    Our late associate and friend, Skidmark, left what is called in the law a "holographic will", which means he wrote it out himself by hand. It was executed in front of witnesses, myself included. His will asked that any property he may have had at his death be given to an organization to be set...

    ConcealedCarryServices.org

    Just saw an ad for this website on search engine results. I found it interesting because it has absolutely no information on the website identifying the business that operates it. Even in their "terms and conditions" page in which most websites will identify a legal entity for contractual...

    I'm back.

    Been away too long. Got really busy and something strange happened to my "user" id / pswd and couldn't log in. Then I didn't have time to deal with it. So, in the interim, I've been put on the "disabled" list at the Virginia State Bar - they gave me a special membership card that says so...

    Reckless driving - speed limits

    This thread was created by Moderator (not by User below) to establish current law and allow closing of old necro thread: I have to respond, "Good." One of my big arguments against gun-crazies' obsession with eradication of firearms in the name of "gun control" is the way automobile violence...

    Problem Nominee for U.S. 4th Cir. Ct. Apps.

    Pamela Harris nominated by Md. Senators Mikulski and Cardin. Any question on how she'd rule on questions involving the right to personal defense? I think this is going to require some concerted action in the Senate. Pamela Harris Nominated to Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals
