Last week’s Virginia Register contained the final publication of Radford University’s campus weapons ban. This may seem rather sudden to those familiar with the rather long and complex ‘notice and comment’ process by which most regulations are promulgated in Virginia. After all, the regulation...

Located in Fredericksburg Virginia and with campuses in Stafford and Dahlgren, the University of Mary Washington is undeniably part of Virginia’s strong commitment to excellent public colleges and universities. Unfortunately, UMW (which prides itself on being named after the mother of George...

Despite the harsh lesson learned at Virginia Tech and the very real threat of future lawsuits, more and more of Virginia’s public colleges and universities have been passing regulations banning carry on campus after Attorney General Cuccinelli issued an opinion that university policies do not...

I do love the Judge Dredd character. With my anticipation of seeing the movie mounting, seeing that commentary just infuriated me.

Lol. Did the helmet really never come off? Stallone at least managed to get it off a few times.

Stretching definitions (and even making them up as they go along) is one of the key tactics of the true anti-gunner. :)

I felt really bad because he is an older guy and I try to be respectful but I believe (and hope) he saw the humor in the situation after the fact. :)
