Sorta new Well, I joined a few months ago, and have read a lot and posted a bit. I like guns. I'm an independent old cuss, and I like the thought that no one but me is responsible for my safety. I've been around guns most of my life, knew how to shoot from an early age, spent 22 years in...

I want one too. Can't use at work. Prohibited from installing software on the employer's or the client's systems, more's the pity. Still want one.

Yep. 0700 - waited about 15-18 minutes here in Northern Virginia. Still waiting for the results.

Can you cite a source, please?

I'd think the "get-em-for-free, wear-em-on-the-airplane, soft spongy rubber type would be appropriate. They don't have to go all the way into the ear canal, and can be secured with a hat.

ZeSpecter Many of us who live in Northern Virginia carry openly. I've found that most of the people with whom I come in contact don't even notice. That tells me something. No, I won't carry in DC. Won't take a job there. Won't spend my tax dollars there. Don't cross the bridge(s) if I...

I've handled firearms most of my life, about 50 years, too. I don't wonder about anyone else's motivation. If someone's carrying a weapon and I know about it, I know what I need to do. Since I'm naturally law-abiding anyway, no big deal.

None of the above. I vote for candidates, not parties.

You missed "support it and do it" I open carry frequently here in Virginia. One must, in establishments that serve alcohol for consumption on the premises, and it's a royal pain to conceal, uncover, conceal, etc.

Wow, I have to ditto what others have said. You got a new gun, and same day carried it, without having fired it? And without having verified you knew the correct laws? Sorry, dude, but my sympathy is limited. While I believe everyone should carry, as you can see from my tag line, I...

Send 'em a copy of Philip's VCDL Alert from today.

Are UT alumnae welcome? My girl-child is a recent (Dec 05) UT grad, living in Austin, and I'd like to think she'd be interested.

I love The Unit - may have missed one episode since it started. Steffie and Tom - first season - ticked me off. Not gonna happen. But the one thing that does concern me is that every time a show like that comes along, the US average public starts to think our military is full of units who...

Yeah, GhostRider66, I thought about that. But some days I don't care <grin>. There have been lots of days lately that if they came in and said "you're fired", I'd fall to my knees in thanks ;)
