Trifecta... Pitt, U of Richmond, VA Tech all win today

Happy times in this household. My alma mater, Pitt, upset #2 West Virginia tonight. My current school, U of Richmond, beat Wofford in the Div 1AA quarterfinals. And my adopted alma mater, VA Tech, 'squeeked' by Boston College 30 to 16. Take that Boston. Good things come in threes! Life is good. Rich...

I am not a hunter but you probably know I like to wet a line for Mr. Bass. Here is a fairly recent catch: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...

Back in the 1930s SCOTUS made a ruling about the legality of sawed off shotguns - that they are not what the framers had in mind - and that is the only basis of most of the gun control legislation and...

Great times indeed. Thanks for being one of he predators. 8O I just took a look at my Bauer headgear and it is made just like yours but fits me with no problem.

However, written into VA firearm laws is the state 'or your curtilage thereof'. That extends the boundary of your home to include your surrounding property. It also inc...
