    Alcohol and handguns?

    Virginia law is silent on open carry and therefore you can open carry in a bar and consume alcoholic beverages, however, it is illegal to be "intoxicated" in public which is not defined, so one would have to be very careful. There are Virginia laws, however, governing concealed carry. You can...

    Change in Personal Info: Possible NICS Issue?

    Four inches is a lot of height loss for someone in their 50s. While certainly possible, two inches or less is more common. The measurement in the doctor's office could very well be off by an inch or so just from careless procedure. I suggest you measure yourself and report what you get if it...

    Duty to Inform the LEO if Carrying on Official Contact

    No duty to inform in VA, but I do out of courtesy and respect. I can imagine the apprehension an officer must feel when approaching a car they stopped, especially at night, and making their job a little less stressful helps both them and you. I keep my CCP right behind my driver's license in...

    SCOTUS considering Bianchi v Frosh/Duncan v Bonta the turning point for AW/magazine ban?

    Using the CPI Inflation Calculator from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, that $200 in 1934 equals $4,554 today (6/1934 to 6/2023)! Certainly an intentional restriction rather than a tax. CPI Inflation Calculator

    Saw a historic firearm today

    An even finer point, it was the nut behind the trigger that had such an effect on history.

    I Messed Up Bad

    I can see how that would drive a person with OCD batty, but it's not as bad as this situation!

    Sccy warranty and service is great

    In reassembling my SCCY CPX-2 I accidentally jammed it so bad I could not free it, and scratched the rod end in the process. Even though this was clearly my fault, SCCY repaired the gun and replaced the rod at no charge, and fast as well.

    Mouse Gun Carry

    This BORAII holster works well for my LCP II. It snaps securely in place but is easily removed when drawing by catching the hook on the pocket edge. It is not bulky and leaves full access to the slide and magazine release. Fits comfortably in the front pocket of my jeans.

    An OK judge rules that the law banning marijuana users from possesing guns is unconstitutional

    This ruling is very well written and worth the full read. As I understand it, the ruling only prohibits the loss of your constitutional right to merely possess a firearm because you also merely possess marijuana, or are a "user" of marijuana (not under the influence), or are labelled a felon as...

    ATF Rule 2021R8 goes into effect January 31, 2023

    My Congressman Morgan Griffith of Virginia has introduced a bill, H.R. 173 - "Home Defense and Competitive Shooting Act of 2023", to counter this ATF Rule 2021R-08F. https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/173/text?r=31&s=1 Here is his letter to me: January 27, 2023 Dear Mr...

    What is your home defense pistol choice?

    Even though it is highly improbable, I want to be prepared for a worst case scenario, such as a home invasion involving three or more people. I therefore give highest priority to capacity. Since such invasions often take place at night, my next priority is rapid availability from my bed, which...

    Do you carry a gun because you are afraid?

    Ten years ago I bought a house in a rural area with no neighbors in sight. One night I was awakened by an unusual noise downstairs and I leaped out of bed, only to find myself completely helpless, utterly unable to protect myself and my wife. I quickly bought a shotgun and slept soundly...

    First jump into semi auto

    For woods walking and home protection, I would put capacity ahead of trigger or ammo cost, which means 9mm for me. I keep one mag loaded with ball ammo for walking and another with HP for home protection. Try holding a CZ75B 9mm DA/SA 16+1 and your shopping will be over.

    Constitutional Crisis?

    Beautifully written decision! Another piece of New York's defiance dissembled.

    California gun owners and 2A.......

    Assuming it would be illegal to file off the microstamping, that would make criminally owned guns "double-illegal"! Boy, that would sure stop them.

    Constitutional Crisis?

    Interesting discussion, but can anyone answer the OP's question: "To what extent, and in what ways, can the judicial branch enforce their rulings". Waiting years for these matters to make their way up to the Supreme Court will leave a long wake of damage and injustice. Is there a faster...

    Credit Card Tracking

    Who decides what Merchant Category Code a store uses? Must the specific items listed under the code reflect the stores primary source of income? If so, do the credit card companies or banks police and enforce the code selection? If the store selects their own MCC they can simply pick a...

    Deadly force and Castle Doctrine

    Every case is different. In general, shooting another person is the last resort taken when you truly believe you or other innocent parties are in imminent danger of being killed or seriously injured. I believe (not a lawyer) that if a stranger breaks into your home at night that you have a...

    New credit card code for gun shops

    Just knowing that you purchased some unknown items at a sporting goods or gun shop doesn't do anyone much good. I believe they created the new code under pressure from woke banks who will likely soon begin denying such charges. After all, "If we just save one child".
