I have a concealed handgun permit. The only time I have ever carried pepper spray is when I go somewhere I can't carry a handgun. As far as using a handgun, you are either justified or not justified in using deadly force. If it comes down to it and someone wants to do something that will result...

It's called a serial niumber. You may not tell by looking at the firearm, but when the serial number is checked back to the manufacturer you'll be in deep Doo Doo.

Feds don't usually get involved in grocery store robberies unless there are special cercumstances. How ever I do see where they might get involved with a drug store robery. I think the feds are using the interstate commerce bit in this case so they can get involved and pile on charges due to the...

I guess if they claim home rule, they probably think they can throw out any other state law they don't agree with. Why not just go ahead and suceed.

After Virginia became shall issue the legislature had to ammend the law a few times to tweak it because of the stinking judges. Permits are issued through the circuit courts where you live. Judges in the Peoples Republic of Northern Virginia were requiring psycological exams. Legislature had to...

I know for a fact that if you are in the military and stationed in Virginia, but are a "resident" of another state in order to purchase a firearm you have to present a copy of your signed orders to the FFL dealer. I have seen this stated by the employees in gun shops and by liscensed dealers at...

Virginia does for firearms carried in public areas. This includes open carry which is legal here (some cops are pulling guns on and giving people crap for open carry). Shotguns - 7 rounds of the longest amunition for which it is chambered. Rifles and pistols - 20 round mag capacity max...

Happiness is a warm gun and a cold perp. :D

In Virginia you only have to give your name or show ID if you are stopped for a traffic violation. You have to give the man your liscense because Va law says you have to. However the Atty Gen of Va has made a ruling 02-082http://www.oag.state.va.us/Opinions/2002opns/02-082.pdf that says based...

Chet, I've also been a member of VCDL for a while now. Ditto on the financial help. I am fixing to send in my members dues and always send extra donations to VCDL and their PAC. I still got a little left if you need it. You have my support too and are in my prayers. I work nights at the shipyard...

Some people still believe that the state has given the local governments permission to enact gun laws in their charters. At one time yes. Local governments had permission to make laws including gun laws where the state is mum or gives permission. BUT, In 1987 Virginia code, section 15.2-915...

JESmith said IT WAS NOT A LAWFUL ORDER! The cops and city had no authority under state law to make any temporary law for the event regarding firearms!!!!! The city of Hampton in which I live has a city event every year in September called Bay Days. The city had a law on the books that said...

This is the same police department in which a black plain clothes officer was shot and killed last year by a white officer in uniform. There was a incident in which officers were called to respond to a disturbance. Several officers responded to the call. The black plain clothes officer had drawn...

Yep, exactly. I have a CHP and have always carried concealed. I have been considering open carry during the hot summer months since I am 300 pounds and in the summer it gets extremely uncomfortable after a few hours carrying inside the waist band. Due to my size and shape, a shoulder holster is...
