OC'd today to Lowes, Target, and Walmart looking for Christmas lights. Saw a fellow OCer at Lowes carrying a S&W. Had a short conversation about 1911s. All in all good day, just need to find the darn lights I'm looking for.

Norfolk is in the Hampton Roads are, right?

Is there no one in or around Norfolk who could help us out by delivering some paperwork to an address in Norfolk?

Just got done eating dinner at Rancho Grande on military hwy, and saw another OCer as I was leaving. I told him about the forum. He said he would check it out.

You, sir, are a mench.

Besides telling folks about OCDO you could give the one of Ed's cards, one of the VCDL cards with carry laws, and a VCDL application form. Three of each takes up very little room - especially if you tear the application form from the rest of the VCDL brochure. I got creative/compulsive and wrapped Ed's card inside the VCDL card and wrapped both inside the VCDL application. It's a handy little package.

stay safe.

Why thank you sir! I actually need to see about getting some of Ed's cards. But I kinda want two sets, one for OCers I meet, and one for "hey why do you have a gun hurr durr"

I just got back from eating there.

I wasn't carrying because of where I had been previously () but I did see a young woman there OC'ing what looked to be a Glock in a Serpa holster.

Weird,

I carry a glock in a serpa but I definitely am not a female....

Same here. lol

Open carried yesterday at The Armory, 7 11 on Independence and Gamestop on Indian River, no issues. CC'd to Ruby Tuesdays and AMC for a late showing of The Hobbit out of respect of the heightened fear that spawned from the senseless acts in CT yesterday. Plan on OC'ing about today doing more Santa shopping.

I have some food for thought in light of the horrendous attack yesterday: Virginia schools require tornado drills, bomb drills, and fire drills. Although a fire may be a more likely scenario than the tornado or bomb and I think it's great they prepare for those things, however, there is no such thing as a "shooting drill" in our schools. Maybe the teachers have guidelines to fall back on if such a tragedy were to unfold but my kids know absolutely nothing about how to react if God forbid, it were to happen. I believe somebody that could implement such a reaction plan needs to be written until such action is taken and a plan is instituted.

As sad as it is, in today's society, it seems a mass-casualty shooting is more likely to occur than a tornado, bomb, or fire. Our children are not prepared, who do we need to contact?

York County schools have intruder/lockdown drills a couple times a year. I am not sure about all of VA.

1) The evil in CT should start an all out push to repeal the GFSZ legislation. If they have an armed guard/principal/teacher in every school these a**holes will stop targeting our kids.

2) We should repeal the cruel and unusual clause against punishment of heinous crimes like CT. If he didn't commit suicide I believe a wood chipper face first would be considered reasonable!!!

Been OC-ing around doing Christmas shopping. Got some looks at pizza hut last night but had a cashier at Barnes & Noble shake my hand today.

My email is down (a Cox problem), so I'm posting this here.

I think that VCDL should do something to show support for the folks in Newtown, CT.

We are quick to respond to even the smallest perceived infringement of our 2A rights. This is the most egregious abuse of those rights imaginable.

Shouldn't we make an appropriate statement to that effect?

Sobriety checkpoint tonight in James City County. Ruger .40 by my side. No questions other than "Driver's license, please". No info volunteered on my part.

Virginia Beach schools (at least the one my children attend) do not have any such drills. Do we write the superintendent, principal, board of directors, governor?
1.) I wholeheartedly agree with the faculty being armed in addition to an armed guard/school resource officer at all points of entry, regardless of locks.
2.)This horrendous act should have never happened to begin with. Warning signs should have been raised at some point. Mental instability is the only possible motive I could fathom and mental illness/treatment should be under attack, not our rights. Why did his mother leave the guns where her live in 20y.o. could get to them knowing he had some serious issues. One must ask, how do you overlook such instability and still allow access to some serious firepower? This is still USA and due process must be adhered to despite the severity of the atrocity, that's what separates us from the monsters overseas without due process.

OC'd last night to 7 11 on Independence, Books-a-Million at the Damneck/P. Anne shopping center on the corner, and walmart on P. Anne. Walked right by one of VB's finest sitting outside of Walmart, strong-side facing him, he didn't even bat an eye in my direction.
