Since people at work somehow associate me with firearms, I get asked about firearms or firearm related laws.
Usually I will try to help but always encourage people to do their own research and if the question really concerns them that they can always retain a lawyer.
Yesterday a coworker came up to me and asked me if I had ever heard of excessive calibers.
Um' what?
He was told by a gun store clerk that some calibers are considered excessive in VA. Example, 9mm or .45 would be ok to shoot an intruder with but that .357 would be considered excessive and the victim may be charged.
I've heard stupid things but this one is pretty far up there.
Sad thing is, this place gives CC classes and I'm really hoping this gentleman is not part of the instruction.
