    ZE SPECTRE: First of all the decision to prohibit the wearing of campaign t-shirts, buttons, etc. was not made by "temporary election workers". The decision was made by the state board of elections in Richmond, and applies to the entire state. Virginia law Title 24.2, Section 604 prohibits...

    Fbi Guns?

    I used to own a box for a Colt Police Positive Special that had been used to store a pistol that was kept in the safe of Hoover's secretary. I got the box from a retired Deputy Director of the FBI. It was one of 5 or 6 boxes he had that came from Hoover's secretary after Hoover died and his...

    how much tax is on a firearm purchase in nc

    The state sales tax is on the total cost of the gun. Since the Pittman-Robinson tax (which I think is 11%, not 13%) is an excise tax that the manufacturer pays and passes down the line to the eventual purchaser, it is considered a part of the sales price, and is subject to the sales tax. In...

    Peace Officers

    Copy of DL required?

    MAGIC MAN: You stated that your new address is not on the front of your license yet. Okay, we have the same thing here in Virginia. When you change your address, the DMV gives you a card with your new address on it that you are supposed to carry with your DL. Make a copy of your DL, and the...

    Guns On The Virginia Railway Express

    MGKDRGN Said: "It will only get "interesting" if VRE has someone arrested and the case goes to court" Not quite so. If a citizen who is lawfully transporting a firearm attempts to board a train from Fredericksburg to Crystal City, with the intention of connecting with an airline flight at...

    Guns On The Virginia Railway Express

    Amtrak rules do not apply on VRE trains. Train crews are Amtrak employees, true. But that doesn't change the rules...or the law.

    Copy of DL required?

    You need to go down to the DMV and get your license changed to reflect you current address. You need to do that whether you have sold a gun or not. The law requires that you do that. So just do what you're supposed to do, and send a copy of your new license to the FFL, and everything will be okay.

    Carry Class / CCW Badges

    $50 - $60 bucks for a CCW badge???? Whoever bought one of those things got ripped off big time. The gun store where I work has them for sale for $19.95, and they're made by Blackinton, who are about the best in the badge business. We don't sell very many of them, but now and then someone will...

    Why not flick cylinder closed?

    The reason that you don't do this is because unless the cylinder stop is fully depressed, you'll end up with it dragging against the cylinder, leaving a drag mark around the circumference of the cylinder. With single action revolvers, there is a half-cock notch, and when the hammer is in the...

    The Citizen's Machine Gun

    GUNNERPALACE: Most "people who can't meet military requirements" (probably for psycological reasons) and "lone wolf types" are not really the type of people that I would consider to be on my side in the event that the manure strikes the rotating ventilation device, and I don't really know how...

    LONG HAIRED HIPPY: No, you don't need to be a Virginia resident to purchase a long gun here.
