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.

Craig I'll see if I can make it. Seems I have something already that day. If not I'll be there. I was told that Bubba and Frank's is a good place to eat.

Gonna try to make it. Depending on what time I get off Friday night might be a little later than 0900. Two hour drive from the shore. Will try to talk the wife unit into it too.:dude:

I went to Ragged Island today with my Sarplaninac Dog, Livi. She was very upset at all of the garbage there...She told me she hopes that Zeus Dane will come and meet her on 05 March!
Here are some pics taken today:
Please come out and help Livi restore this land to it's original beauty!

After further review from Mike, it has been determined that it is legal to OC only during hunting season and that it is legal to OC with a CHP ONLY during hunting season.
Reason: 4VAC15-40-60 Para B states: "It shall be unlawful to have in possession a bow, crossbow, or any firearm that is not unloaded and cased or dismantled on department-owned lands and on other lands managed by the department under cooperative agreement located in the counties east of the Blue Ridge Mountains except during the period when it is lawful to take bear, deer, grouse, pheasant, quail, rabbit, raccoon, squirrel, turkey, waterfowl or migratory gamebirds on these lands."
This is a general ban on the carry of loaded firearms on WMAs.
4VAC15-40-60 Paras F and G state:
F. "It shall be unlawful to possess or transport any loaded firearm, or loaded crossbow in or on any vehicle at any time on national forest lands or department-owned lands."
G. "The provisions of this section shall not prohibit the possession, transport and use of loaded firearms by employees of the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries while engaged in the performance of their authorized and official duties, nor shall it prohibit possession and transport of loaded concealed handguns where the individual possesses a concealed handgun permit as defined in § 18.2-308 of the Code of Virginia."
Para F specifically bans all LOADED FIREARMS. Para G then provides exceptions to the law and specifically allows ONLY the carry of a concealed handgun at anytime with a valid CHP. OC would be allowed during hunting season.
Hunting season ends on 10 March, so we are all good to go with OC'ing on 05 March!
We need to change this law to add universal OC or at a minimum OC at anytime for those that have a CHP. This cleanup may prove to be a good start.
Thanks Mike!

How about dragging some of your roommates along with you?

Great Idea
Community service while quietly promoting on the side is a phenomenal way to make a point. Well done. I can't promise that I'll be there. I'll have to wait to see what work has in store for me.

Previous committment
While gathering accomplices for this road trip, I was reminded I have a previously-scheduled engagement for that morning: I am going to be flipping pancakes for one of my kids' fundraisers. Sorry 'bout that, Craig. I asked Bridget to talk to her fellow ODU students and see if they'll "pony up".

Told a couple friends... none really seemed too interested. Maybe that'll change if they find themselves without anything to do that day.

Here are your options for the day, airman: You may either come with me to the park and pick up litter or you may go over to the quartermaster and sort laundry.

hahah I have made it too far into my career to be doing that now! My wife however wants to go camping and all that weekend and I will try to talk her into camping on Sat night/ sunday morning so that I may help y'all with the cleanup.. I will let you know how that work tomorrow, she is coming back from a long period of out to sea and I am sure she will get her way on anything... haha. On another note, I did get a few airman this morning to come talk to me about volunteering, hopefully I can get a few to come out and get some volunteer work in!

Just want to bump this thread and ask for more volunteers. This is an opportunity to advocate for the environment AND changing the carry laws in Wildlife Management Areas!
Please donate a couple hours of your time and help us restore Ragged Island WMA to its' natural state, let our 2nd Amendment cause be seen and heard and join us afterwards for a fellowship lunch!
Thanks!
