Default Northern Virginia

Jim,

There doesn't seem to be anything Virginia would consider illegal in there, but maybe bringing one or two at a time would be best so you don't seem like some crazed wacko with an arsenal

When are they planning on moving and when you visit, where will you be driving from? I live right in the SE corner of Virginia, where you could pretty near throw a rock over the NC border (hint, hint). Where in NC did they buy?

Feel free to take this private or drop it entirely if you want to keep such info private.

As far as what I'm going to shoot with him, I don't think he has ever fired a gun before. My daughter on the other hand was the captain of her high school rifle team and has hunted deer. She wants me to introduce him to shooting.

So...here is what I have in mind...and you will understand why I don't want to take the guns to Northern Virginia!!!

45 Colt Cowboy Loads in a Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter
45 Colt hunting loads (44 magnum level) in a Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter Bisley
44 S&W Special HP defense load in a Charter Bulldog Target Model (4" barrel, adjustable sights)
45 ACP in a Colt Government Model
9mm in a CZ 75
22 LR in a Browning Buckmark
30-30 in a Winchester 94
6.5x55 in a sporterized Czech VZ 24 Mauser
223 in a Mini 14
45-70 in a Browning High Wall

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

Default The years

Thanks so much!

Family is healthy, mind is still working, more or less. Body is beginning to feel the results of years of abuse. Nothing I wouldn't have imagined, and so far quite manageable. Hope it doesn't get too much worse though

All in all, I can't complain. Wife doesn't listen when I do anyway.

LOL, I told my doctor that now I know what they mean when they say old people go to the doctor with "complaints."

Greensboro, which is only 40 miles from Danville, VA, but over 200 miles from Norfolk.

Ah, you'd be coming down 95, not the coastal route. Too bad. Would be nice to meet a fellow COTEP.

Maybe someday.
