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.

Would OCing be a "loophole"?

No. Open Carry is the right. Concealed Carry is the loophole.

The loophole authors would suggest that open carry is not a right and that it would be a loophole. At least the loophole authors could boast that government is currently regulating concealed carry.

I've been searching for a loophole at local gun stores and thus far nobody knows what a loophole looks like. Maybe the Brady Bunch can help us meanwhile I'll keep searching.
BTW, in the Signal Corps, we would send rookies for OHM powder or a wire stretcher or tell new Lieutenants to remove phones from the desk while we blew out the phone lines.
We got into trouble by sending a clueless rookie to the administration clerks office (women there) for the company "Masterbation Sheet".

I wonder if he wants to file suit for conspiracy to injure another in his trade or business in violation of Va. Code section 18.2-500? It's good for treble damages plus attorneys' fees.

I brought back a bucket of steam when they sent me for it... had to heat the bucket to about 400 degrees by hanging it from a saturated steam drain, and tossed a wet rag over the top to hold in the steam. Handed it to the EOOW, who of course dropped it like a hot bucket. Burned his eyelids on the steam, and the marks in the tile where the bucket fell were still there when we decommed the ship. Secured my reputation as a smart ass and brought silly things like that to a quiet end when the Chief Engineer heard about it. You left out sound powered phone batteries...
Bernard Pishko has the market on loopholes in Norfolk cornered. He'll have to sell some when Dan Moore gets finished with him, I'm sure.

Just so you know... there **ARE** in fact sound powered phone batteries. I couldn't believe it and demanded proof when I was told about them during a training session for SW quals. The ICman went and got a box that well and truly contained sound powered phone batteries. He even showed us how they went into the amplifiers in the system.
Go figure eh?

Yes, they were (still are?), at least when I left the USN (as ICC) in '77. Sending someone to fetch SP phone batteries has always been a fool's errand for "boots". Hint - they could sometimes be found next to the golden rivet. :lol:

My favorite was to put a 'maintenance code' into the fire control system.
When we got a new ensign who was determined to learn everything, they would eventually migrate to the Control Room. Because I had the most unused real estate there, they would sit at one of my many seats. I always warned them not to touch a specific knob or button on the weapons system. Knowing they couldn't resist, I would turn my back on them and do something else.
I would wait until theyasked me for help. Quietly. They would point to the data screen that was flashing 'Emergency Destruct Activated'. I would then act surprised, panicked, and distraught and yell at them 'what the hell did you do?'. I explained that the function was necessary in case we were captured and had to scuttle the sub. It would over-voltage and fry the circuitry in the weapons system so opposing forces could not steal our technology. We had 5 minutes left until it melted. :shock:
They always said they bumped into it, and....what can we do? I told them that once activated, only the CO could authorize deactivation. Invariably, the newbies would be stretching their 'wings' during the Mid-watch. The Old Man was snoring in the rack...
I made them wake him up and beg forgiveness for not listening to me.

Well, there are sound powered phones that don't use batteries. My ship's SPPs worked without them but certain connections had amplifiers to help ensure a clear / clean signal.
I always had fun sending newbies to the tool locker to get a BT Punch or a can of A1R.

When I got tired of using the periscope I'd tell the OOD or striker O-1 lackey that I spotted a GU-11. They'd take over to track the 'contact'. lol

I tried buying a handgun at a gun show once. I had a newly issued VA license, so I couldn't buy one until the 30 days, or whatever the law states, has passed. Short story, I couldn't find anyone that would sell me a gun, even when I showed my concealed carry permit. I heard all these good things about gun show loop holes, it got my hopes up for nothing.
