Firearms soon to be allowed in National Parks!

This is an enormous win for self defense. Our Senators and 2nd Amendment groups have done a great job. Here is a local release from the Virginia Citizens Defense League: VCDL has just learned that the Department of the Interior (DOI) is beginning the process of allowing the lawful carry of firearms ...

Virginia is very pro self-defense without this bill. Virginia is governed by Old English Common Law that espouses the Castle Doctrine. Also, case law strongly supports self defense. This would have codified it and made it very difficult for a gang banger/ family thereof to sue someone who used self ...

Hello John. I made the CMP cut for the latest service grade offerings and will soon be getting a Rock-ola and a Winchester. No SNs as yet. Last month I purchased a 1,000 round case of the Aguila 30 carbine from CMP. My son and I are having a ball with the stuff. It is a bit dirty and a bit underpowe...

P.S. Rich's daughter (the brunette on the right) has been my little hugging buddy for years. She grew up to be a BIG hugging buddy, and a smart one at that. I'm very protective of her. Shame on you Bill. She will not appreciate the comment. Guess you do not remember your buddy very well. That is no...

Go Giants! Go Virginia Tech! Go Pittsburgh Pengins!

What a great weekend of sports. Tech beats UVA, The Pens beat Carolina and the Giants beat the Pats. To top it off my current Alma Mater - University of Richmond - beat Charlotte in basketball.

I have some interesting pics of Eli I will post later in the week if my daughter will allow me to.

Not yet. Working on it... Do not tarry. We may not be the only ones eyeing that space. You need to get with Kristy and Cheryl while karate is on their mind. They are looking to fill that room... that is their goal. They may not wait to hear from you. If someone else comes in with a plan that sounds...

May I ask why you're thinking of selling the suit? I do not want to risk the pounding anymore. About 5 years ago when I was really going at it with the Marine program I had some back and neck troubles that required me to back off from the really heavy contact. My family Doc said I was setting mysel...

Hi Mike. I have seen the Redman used and also the Tony Blauer suit. The big difference is mobility. The Redman offers the wearer great protection but is cumbersome. And hot. I own a Blauer suit and have a few hours of training in its use. It is best described as a limited proection suit but you can ...

As I understand it the major benefit of the 1986 FOPA is the right to transport a firearm from a state you are allowed to possess it to any other that you are allowed to possess it. It must be unloaded and enclosed or unaccessible to the occupants of the vehicle. A trunk is fine as is just zipped up...

I've been a high school teacher about 1.5 years now and have yet to miss a day despite being in rooms filled with sniffling and coughing kids. The other teachers ask me how I stay so healthy. I just smile... :wink:
