I am a member, and I support the NRA, and I know that sometimes my criticisms sound like I'm bashing the organization. I'm not. I want the organization to grow. But one of my biggest gripes is the excessive hyperbole that gets tossed about. It's mostly on the "preaching to the choir" stuff...

Regarding the threat that "I could take you to jail!", it's a bit hollow since he can always take you to jail, with the exception of two violations.

Quick, what are they?

My point is, that in all my time in VA I've seen... wait for it... NO ONE open carrying. Not one single person other than uniformed LEOs. Yes I've heard all the blather (web postings) about OC get togethers at restaurant xyz. BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT EVEN ONCE. That mirrors my experience in eight y...

I think the big thing anyone switching to open carry will have to take into account is, as bigolbigun mentioned, getting a holster that offers a retention mechanism. I don't know whether simple Level I retention would be enough. Most police departments I'm familiar with require a Level II, and I'd ...

They hesitate to do that because they are not the one making the purchase. Now whenever you come in complaining that you can't get warranty service on whatever it is you bought because they can't find your purchase and no longer have your receipt, guess what? The clerk's name, phone number, and add...

The problem in this argument is that people read the forum differently. I don't know how any can possibly read it and hope to keep up by browsing the sections, but not everyone is up to speed on using tabbed browsers. I always enter the forum at the "view unread posts" link, then open each...

I would not open carry. I think Iratollah summed it up rather succinctly in another thread and, in her own words, Mrs. Oldgringo agreed with him. :smilelol5: Codpiece indeed! "rlol" It's just as offense every time that comparison is made, because the anti-gunners say the same thing about ...

I get the joke, but IWB is open carry too. If it wasn't, you wouldn't need a cover garment.

No need to be a jerk, or hardheaded about it. Just make up a name or phone number if you want. Just make something up... Why fight with a store clerk? Wrong question. The question should be, "Why is the store clerk fighting with me over this?" I won't make something up to appease them; I ...

Wow, that's unfortunate. From time to time I would wonder if he "went away mad" and I missed it, but I always expected that he would pop back in one of these days.

Let's hope they have MP5 vending machines in Heaven.

Also, I found this in the Q&A section. Moreover, the final rule does not affect existing rules limiting the possession of loaded rifles or shotguns. Ah, but it does affect such rules. The final rule repeatedly says "concealed and loaded firearms". It says nothing about handguns, rifle...

I think Service Merchandise was the first place that I encountered that. It was when Radio Shack became obnoxious about it that I started refusing (and I think they've stopped after so many protests). I actually left merchandise on the counter at Toys-R-Us and walked out when the cashier insisted sh...

This bears repeating, especially this time of year when they're soliciting church donations outside secular stores.

They then take those donations and provide charity without regard to the recipient's religion.

Perhaps malodorous.
