    New Member? Introduce yourself here (just intros, questions get answered elsewhere)

    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...

    The nerd's office-cubicle defensive 'firearm'

    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.

    Nov 7, 2006: Did you vote?

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

    Looking for infant ear protection.

    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.

    Open Carry Poll

    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...

    Open Carry Poll

    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.

    How will you vote from this election forward?

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

    Open Carry Poll

    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.

    My first day of CCW !!! And my new gun !!!

    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...

    UT Austin gun club: flier for "Women & Guns" class

    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.

    The Unit (Again)

    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...

    Packing at work

    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 ;)

    Packing at work

    Where the policy hides In Lockheed Martin, the policy resides under "safety and security" and creating a safe workplace. They also think they can search my vehicle. They can try.

    A-T-F Photo Thread (Been a while)

    Beer Festival At the Old Dominion Beer Festival this year, I saw a t-shirt that read Alcohol Tobacco Firearms (Who's bringing the chips?) Wish I knew where the gent got it. That's one I'd wear!

    No Decency IMO

    I'd have to say this is a cultural issue, too. In my experience, while weddings are at churches, most receptions are not. Where I come from, they're at the Polish-American club, the Italian-American club, the sportsmens club or the country club, and people often dress down for the reception...

    What's everyone's age and shooting experience?

    50. Been around guns since I can remember. Didn't start actively shooting 'til about 20 years ago, and it's very recently I've gotten active in not only shooting, but RTC and CC/OC issues. Dad had guns around the house all the time. They were being passed around among his buddies around...

    Gun Show Beef

    Hear, hear! I sometimes get treated this way when I'm carrying! We go to gun shows (in Virginia) because we figure if we don't support them, they won't keep coming back. It's only been recently we've been able to have them again (thanks to a now-gone 3-day wait). Yes, I see the same...
