We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Did someone here tell me that they worked nuclear security?

Can you recommend anyone for training up in Fairfax/Leesburg area? I'd go to Richmond but that is a bit of a hike
I want to get the lady lessons in shooting (she can shoot a 45 no issue, but not the best aim!) before she takes CHP classes.

And just remember this story from PVC/VCDL regarding nuclear security:
- - - -
Right after September 11, 2001, one of our members, who was a courier,
was directed to deliver a part to a nuclear power plant.
The member wasn't a dummy. He knew that security would be tight to
the point of paranoid, so he unloaded his concealed handgun, left it
in plain view on his seat, parked well back of the guard gate, and
walked up to the guard gate unarmed.
Indeed there was a young state trooper at the gate, in addition to
normal security. The trooper noticed the EMPTY shoulder holster and
asked the VCDL member if he had a gun. The VCDL member answered
truthfully that he did back in his car.
The trooper went the the member's car and proceeded to "read him the
riot act." However, the officer was out of line as the member was
doing nothing illegal.
Then the officer asked, "Can I search your car?"
The member thinking that he was a good guy and had absolutely nothing
to hide, said, "Sure!"
Bad, bad, bad mistake.
The officer searched the inside of the car and then popped the trunk.
The officer looked in the trunk and then stood up and advised the
permit holder to put his hands behind his back and he arrested the
permit holder.
The shocked permit holder asked what the officer had found.
The officer said, "You have a bolt cutter in the trunk. That is
considered a burglary tool in Virginia. I am charging you with
possession of burglary tools AND felony attempt to sabotage a nuclear
power plant!"
The member (and most of you, I'll bet) had no idea that having bolt
cutters in your trunk was a crime! Remember, the law books can cover
a huge amount of space in a library. Buried in those books are laws
against more things than you can possibly imagine!
The member went straight to PRISON for THREE DAYS, until he could be
arraigned.
In the end ALL charges were dropped, but the member was out some
serious money, lost many night's sleep, and lost his job.
There would have been similar results if the member had a teenage
child who had hidden some drugs in the trunk, unbeknownst to his or
her parents. The unsuspecting parent lets the police search the trunk
and WHAMO - off to jail.
Let me put it this way. If I said to you that I had a casino and the
BEST you could do if you played absolutely perfectly was BREAK EVEN,
would you come to my casino?
NO.
That is the same arrangement you have when you let the police search
your car or step into your house during a "knock and talk." The best
you can do is to NOT get arrested. The worst you can do is go to jail
for something you didn't even know was illegal.
Are all police bad and not to be trusted? Of course not! But
remember that they are sworn and they may incorrectly believe you have
something to hide and thus ask if they can search your car or come
into your house. If they see something and you have given them
permission to look, you're in a lot of trouble.

Go to http://www.nvtactical.com/index.html. It sounds all kinda high-speed low-drag, but ask for Tommy and he will do whatever she needs. The range that he used to use (He may have moved) is up 15 to the river, then left a few miles.
He will train/shoot, rain or shine... ask me how I know! Aw, well, nobody melts.
