I will have to go read some of those theads to see what everyone thinks. I commend his actions but am wondering how LEA see it since he is firing at the criminals as they are running away.
OC-ed to Walmart, Arbys, Food Lion, Exxon yesterday no issue.

The DA stated that the shooting appeared justified and he wasn't planning to file charges. As far as I'm concered, the criminal still had the gun in his hand when he was running away, and that makes him a threat. The older gentleman was simply attempting to stop the threat, it's entirely safe to assume that the bad guy could have turned around and continued to fire. My 2 cents.

Don't Post Much in this Thread...
Because I hate repeating myself. Home Depot and Lowe's (VB locations) this weekend.
It also looks like I will be having a new neighbor sometime soon. A fellow who was 2nd Squadron, 11 Armored Cav (Blackhorse) and his wife are buying a lot in my neighborhood. He was there when my dad was (919th Engineers, 3rd Squadron, 11 ACav). We talked about his lot for a spell with his realtor there. We talked for maybe 15 minutes before anyone realized I was carrying. The wife says "Looks like this guy's right up your alley" while pointing at my hip.
The nice (one of many, I should say) thing about Pungo is that carrying a firearm is less unicorn-like and more commonplace.
At least, I like to think so. I haven't gotten but one queer look yet, and that was from some lady sitting in a booth across from us at Pungo Pizza. I almost didn't notice, but she just kept staring - and I don't think she was admiring my perfectly-formed glutes.

Maybe she was staring at your purple cammo pants!
It has been a while since I have had "the stare" treatment. It is almost like they can wish you into non-existence by simply continuing to look at you! OC-ed to Heaven & Earth and talked to the attendant for a few minutes about bible versions (NIV,KJV,etc) for my daughter. No mention of the FNP on my hip and no issues.

I, umm, actually have a pair of the ones on the left. Matching boonie hat, too.LOL - I can't get that image out of my mind. I'd pay for such a picture of Wylde :lol: :lol:Think of the options!
"Urban" camouflage. HA!
Hee haw! - Wylde blending/fitting in with the urban establishment
OTOH - it just might be a good tactic - who would be afraid of someone wearing purple camo?
You could accessorize with one each of these:

Wow I never would have taken Wylde007 as a purple kind of guy!!!
Back on topic - OC'd this Sunday on my way to/from Woodbridge to go to IKEA. I know it's not Hampton Roads but I don't really feel like posting in two different threads about my same day of travel, lol. Anyways, to my dismay after the three hour drive I was disappointed, to say the least, when we got there and I saw a no firearms sign on the door. It's at this point I wanted to turn around and just go home. With a pregnant wife, and our soon to be new baby daughter's godmother there protesting me wanting to leave the place I really had no choice but to stay. I wanted to leave, but ******* of a pregnant woman is like asking to be shot, lol. I spoke with the manager about weather or not it was a local policy or a corporate policy I was told it was corporate although he could not show me in writhing. An e-mail has been sent to confirm the policy, express my displeasure, and urge them to rethink disarming LAC. My biggest mistake was not doing the proper research before I left to ensure such a policy did not exist. It's just sad that sort of thing needs to be done.
After finally leaving IKEA we headed off to the Outlet Mall (outdoor shopping center) in Williamsburg. Now after the visit to IKEA when we first arrived at the stores the first think I did was drive around looking for signage on doors or any other location that would indicate a no firearms policy and I did not notice one. So we shopped around and it wasn't until we ended up in the Food Lion shopping area on the opposite side of the main entrance that I finally noticed a sign. Rule 15 on that sign reads as follows: "Possession of any article defined as a weapon, whether illegal or not, unless the person possessing such weapon is law enforcement personnel required to carry such a weapon". Sunday just wasn't my day. In my defense It was the only sign in the whole area, which was probably a good 1-2 acres. Not to mention the multiple times a passed security with even a raised eyebrow. Thankfully we didn't end up buying anything.
The last stop of our day was at the Wal-Mart in Norfolk where thankfully I had no issues.
Lesson learned this weekend, do some research about new locations(stores) when traveling a distance so I don't waste my time. Hopefully next weekend will be a better weekend for me. :banghead:

I TOTALLY forgot about that day! I was so incensed by RT's snow job that I guess I put it out of my mind.
Nice.
No, seriously. I got a chuckle out of it.

OC'd today over to Starbucks, Shell on Independence to fix my stupid flat tire, and Walmart on P. Anne looking for some purple camo without luck :lol: . Had a few people staring at me from the intersection over at the Shell station and i turned a few heads at Walmart but no confrontations. Man its hot out there.
