Hi all,
I've been working the VCDL recruitment table from time to time at Salem and Roanoke, Va. gun shows. For anyone who doesn't know, the VCDL is a grass roots civil rights organizations focusing on our right to self defense.
We've been discussing ways to 'break the ice' with the public. Lots of people will stop 10' away, take us for the kooks we probably are , and move on without speaking.
One thing we want to try to get people to approach is to put up a Q&A board displaying engaging questions. You have to ask us for the answer, which comes with an introduction and a pitch.
So, I'm asking you dear reader for suggestions, with citations please. Obviously we are not giving legal advice, we have to be careful to refer folks to professionals.
An example:
Q) Can you take your gun to Virginia Tech when you go to visit Jr.?
A) There is no law against it. There is a policy against it which does not apply to you unless you work for the school or are a student. Entering dorms, classrooms, or attending athletic events is a gray area that has not been tested in court. Smart money is probably on conceal in these cases.
Citation) Va. AG's opinion #05-078.
Q) I've got the machine gun Grandpappy brought home from the war. Is that legal?
A) Probably if you are not a felon. Go talk to a dealer and they will help you get it properly registered.
Citation) ???
Thanks for the help,
C.
