Nonresidents can do it by mail. Get application; send application, prints, photos, proof of training, check to VA State Police. If interested, I can dig out the address.

At least part of his "brilliance" is in his ability to explain economic issues in terms that we all can understand. He often uses very simple straightforward examples and analogies.

It may be worth a try. I have a Maine permit, have renewed it once, and I think the turnaround was fairly quick. It may also be worth a call to the issuing agency (Maine State Police) to ask their advice. I have had to talk to a couple of these agencies (fingerprint issues), and have found...

A few years ago there was much greater advantage to having multiple licenses/permits. Now there is much greater reciprocity and recognition, so one's home state license may cover lots of other states, and some of the extras are redundant. For example. I have PA (home), FL, UT, VA. All are...

Many years ago (50+) I was told by a guy who had a Luger he had brought back in his duffel that it was forbidden to do so. Lots of guys did it; I don't know if there were laws against it, or if it was just regulation.

CT, FL, ME, NH, UT, VA; PA resident. There was less redundancy when I originally got some of them. There were some guys on the late packing-dot-org who had several more than that.

Regarding your FL permit "not valid anywhere north of DC", if I am reading right, it is valid in DE, PA, WV, OH, IN, MI, NH, as well as a bunch of Western states that are north of DC. http://www.usacarry.com/ http://www.handgunlaw.us/ I understand that SC allows glove compartment...

As some have pointed out, there is more than one side to these situations. (I have not read the whole thread). More than once while walking in the local mall I have had a very small child come flying down the hall toward me, with no mother in sight. I would speak to the child, saying...

At the local Dick's (Downingtown, PA) it made sense to just buy the case of UMC 9mm for 6.98/box, rather than paying 10.98 for the first box and 5.49 for the second and so on. The latter works out to 8.24/box. To get the case price of course, you have to buy a case of 10 boxes. To use the...

How about renewals? Have they been taking as long as first time applications?

I am surprised at the negative remarks regarding AG Tom Corbett. As far as I know he is one of the good guys. His office has expanded the number of states with which we (Pennsylvanians) have reciprocity. His predecessors were rather inactive in that area. Some months ago there was concern...

Gezzer is right. Cost basis is reset on inheritance, so the only possible capital gain would be if there was a gain in value since the husband's death. Inheritance passes without Federal tax between spouses. I think this is true regarding inheritance taxes in most states as well, but do not...

I had the same problem many moons ago. After trying many times to get Eric's attention without success, for some reason I copied Patricia of Sidearmor. She answered my questions and fixed my problem almost immediately. If you want something done give it to a busy woman. Try...
