You can catch him over on 2aforum.com. He goes by NavyP220, but he's deployed now, which is why he's not around the shop anymore.

He's also my next door neighbor.

I have been hearing the same thing from several people now. Seems that quite a few courts are turning down the online course.

A friend of mine used it in Accomack County.

Heck.. I almost WISH I could do it again and be turned down just for the fun of fighting it.

Henrico accepted the online course when my wife used it last July.

I told my friend the same thing. If he had gotten denied (which again, he did NOT...the class worked fine for him, without any shooting or extra work permit returned in 28 days), I don't know that he would have fought it rather than just go do the 25 rounds and resubmitted. I would have fought it to ensure it didn't happen again, and I would have enjoyed it.

Winning a good fight is in all ways superior to just being in a fight.

I have only had positive results at Bobs, that is one of my favorite shops.



Now on the other hand, Ron Hess Arms on Tidewater Driveis about the worst place in the Hampton Roads area.

Bob's is good people. I have not heard anything but positive experiences from people going in there (except they close the sales counter at 5:30 or something) and my personal experiences have been enjoyable.

A&P at Lynnhaven is a little sketchy, but they get the job done. Superior at Aragona is also decent. Both of them have more of an intimidating air about them than Bob's; like Hawley Smoot walking into a biker bar.

I took a CHP class back in '97 (or '98, I forget) when VA was "may issue" and then was denied. I kept the certificate anyway. A couple of months ago I took the same certificate back to VB and applied now that we're "shall issue" and about 30 days later I had permit in hand.

Hold on to your paperwork, mates.

I used my 1993 hunter safety course certificate in 12/07 to get my permit. Hang on indeed.

Ok, I'm sure most of us locals know exactly which employee was delt with. Some people are always right no matter how wrong they are. I also have a Puerto Rican friend that is convinced everyone at Bob's is a racist. I can say that I've seen some evidence to imply that one or two might have some racial bias. Having said all of this, in my oppinion, they have the best inventory and in most cases are the most helpful and informative employees in this area. I open carry at Bob's unless I'm coming straight from base, in which case I don't have a gun on me anyway. Nobody has ever given a negative look or comment to me. I also don't experience any racism, possibly due to the fact that I'm a white male.

I guess my point is, I'll continue to shop there. I am however on the lookout for an alternative gun shop. The Armory would be great if they had anything in stock. My above mentioned friend orders all of his guns from them. I just hate waiting.

D & R arms in Portsmouth used to be pretty good. I went there a plenty since they are a class 3 dealer and my buddy is into that kind of thing (not to say I'm not, but I'm not wealthy enough for that game). They burnt down around the holiday's and I don't know when/if they'll be back...

I only ever go to Bob's if someone else wants to go there. I like dealing with Roanoke Firearms when I'm up at school (which luckily is 8 months out of the year.)

So I went with my Girl to her hearing yesterday and it was a joke. I took the day off of work we go down there she gave the judge the new cert and he sad thank you and the permit will be in the mail in 1 or 2 days. It honestly took all of 5 minutes,what a waste of taxpayer money just because the city of Newport News does not now how to read the Code. But all turned out well.
