Sorry Skidmark... But as a rule, if I buy somebody a beer, it's got to be a Guiness.

I guess one of the other n00bs will have to cover for you. :lol:

OK.....I finally took the plunge and joined!

So, let's see.........

I need to buy a couple cases of Shiner Bock, a couple cases of Guinness, and several ammo boxes full of 45ACP!

Did I leave anyone out?

Not so, Fozzy. I enjoy Guiness - it's just that most folks in America serve it way too cold.

Looking forward to seeing you and a good head on my glass of Guiness.

stay safe.

Skidmark, you should just setup your own little brewing station. It's like reloading, but for beer.

Trust me, Skid. Don't bother. He's all talk. You could look great in a skirt and heels and he'd still just take the drink and leave you standing there all alone.

(I know I'm gonna regret this before the evening is over.)

Well, it supposed to be me who doing the buying, but if skid wants to buy me alcohol he can wear almost whatever he wants.

Oh, dammit. Nothing worse than thinking you've made a witty little comment to find that itwas backwards and never really launched. How embarrassing.

I prefer to think it was our fact-based approach to the benefits to make these people realize it was a small price to pay for such incredible effectiveness.

I've never minded buying things that were a value for the money.

But yes, your wording is more politically correct ;)

More importantly, the Fredericksburg Gun Show increased the membership of VCDL by .025% (approximately).

That number, as insignificant as it may sound, may be enough to secure an override of a governor's veto:exclaim:

"Well done" to all who slaved and sacrifice at the tables at all the gun shows.

stay safe.

I think the best I ever did was get 76 signatures for the VA alert in 3.5 hours. I had to stop because I lost my voice. Well, almost....

That is my recruiting method because for every 2 people we get to sign up for VA alert 1 will become a member within 2 years.

I remember seeing you at the Fred gun show once about a year ago. You were walking around with a clipboard asking EVERYONE (and I do mean EVERYONE) in the show to sign up for the Alert. It was borderline harassment!

I just took the advice in the email alert and joined up. Just thought I would post here. I only lived in VA for two years and that was 4 years ago. I am back in Louisiana now and I think LA needs a sister organization. Good job and proud to be a member now.

DHCruiser & Owen502 - welcome aboard.

Owen - it's not difficult to start your own version of VCDL down there in Lousiana. You can contact VCDL via their web sire www.vcdl.org and get some help and ideas. Heck, if the folks in West Virginia and Texas can do it, you can, too. :lol:

stay safe.
