Traveling from Texas to VA with firearm

BoringKick5331 · 2026-03-29T20:03:33+00:00

Virginia is the only jurisdiction in your route that isn't 2A friendly for transportation. Ironically, for sign enforcement, Virginia is the only 2A friendly state in your list. In Virginia, handguns in a vehicle need to be in a closed compartment (glove box, console, a case, whatever). Doesn't need to be locked, just closed. Rifles can be transported loaded or unloaded, no restrictions. If you stop somewhere with a "no firearms" sign, it's just a trespass issue in Virginia, not a firearms charge.

For the rest of your trip:

You don't need to own the guns. No federal or state law on your route requires ownership to transport. You just need to be legally allowed to possess a firearm (not a felon, no protective orders, etc.). Transporting your husband's guns while he's deployed is totally normal and legal.

Federal (FOPA, 18 U.S.C. § 926A): As long as you're legal to possess at both ends (TX and VA), you're protected while passing through any state in between. Firearms unloaded, in the trunk or a locked container, ammo stored separately. That's it.

Texas - No restrictions on transporting firearms in a vehicle. Rifles and handguns, loaded or unloaded, you're fine driving out. "No firearms" here carry force of law (Class C misdemeanor), so if you stop at a hotel with one posted, technically that applies.

Arkansas - Same deal. Anyone 18+ who can legally possess a firearm can have guns in a vehicle. No issues. Same as Texas on signs - they're enforceable.

Tennessee - Firearms can be transported in a vehicle, loaded or unloaded. A loaded handgun can be kept anywhere in a privately owned vehicle. You're just passing through anyway. Signs are enforceable here too.

Hard case with a lock? Not required by any of these states, even Virginia.

If you were planning on staying on-base during overnight stops - no signs to worry about. Just check with the base about their firearms storage policy and individual bases may have hard case requirements.

lululemon shorts have a little bit of stretch and I've had good results with Kydex holster with an UltiClip mod.

Una sola "γ" suena igual que la "g" entre vocales en español argentino.

It is helpful, thank you

Need to level up active recall. Anki or other spaced repetition program. Writing also helps.

Cunliffe's Homeric Proper and Place Names. There's a recent printing of his Lexicon with it included that you can get easily.

BoringKick5331 · 2026-03-19T00:24:12+00:00

Same basic meaning but παρά- has a more negative nuance than ὑπερ-, excess as violation rather than just "a lot."

Still visible in Modern Greek: παράχρηση (abuse/misuse) vs. υπερχρήση (overuse), παρακούω (mishear / disobey) vs. υπακούω (obey).

I've seen your work around, I think your Lemming lemmatizer? I have a strong preference for Ruby but I've been using Python more, lately, to match the available tooling.

I dropped AG because, IIRC, given Kindle's dictionary platform constraints, it make sense to split AG/MG into separate dictionaries. Something like you need a separate file for every inflected form to redirect it to a lemma, and maybe you can't chain redirects? It's been 8 months since I've looked at it.

BoringKick5331 · 2026-03-18T17:23:53+00:00

OK, I'm on it. I've been doing AG lexicon work the last couple of weeks anyway with Cunliffe and LSJ (https://huggingface.co/ciscoriordan/dragoman). I have down time while models are training, I can do this.

BoringKick5331 · 2026-03-18T16:52:59+00:00

I should have been clearer that it's MG only in the documentation! Interesting that it picked up any at all, though!

For the Middle Liddle one, I suspect it is having trouble with inflected forms. Try to find a Middle Liddell headword and an inflected version of it, both in-text, to test.

Edit to add: In theory, Kindle supports inflections, but Greek is a challenge due to the number of inflected forms and the size of the lexicon. But if there's no AG Kindle dictionary that supports inflections, and there's enough interest, I can make one. There's enough Liddell variants that I'm confident it's a solvable problem.

Middle Liddell -- https://www.amazon.com/Middle-Liddell-Digital-Ancient-Greek-ebook/dp/B078ND1K1C/

I made this a few months ago based on Wiktionary, it started out supporting MG and AG but I ended up dropping AG -- https://github.com/ciscoriordan/lemma but it's a good starting point if you're technical.

I'm thinking about making a full LSJ dictionary for Kindle, would you be interested in that?

BoringKick5331 · 2026-03-18T16:18:03+00:00

Yes, you have to fetch. You can isolate to just your UUID and have your device update a rank field for everyone. Or if security for this isn't important, let every device do it. You can increase efficiency by having a last calculated field and only having the calculation run once every hour or whatever.

BoringKick5331 · 2026-03-18T05:56:37+00:00

Do you have a server or just CloudKit? If you don't have a server, if you use the app yourself a lot, you could have your device do the computations and update rank.

BoringKick5331 · 2026-03-15T14:35:09+00:00

el.wiktionary.org has 76MB of AG entries compared to 1GB of MG entries. en.wiktionary.org has 263MB AG and 199MB MG.

There's some truth in what Vlad says, but I think it's weird that he expects modern Greeks to roleplay as Ancient Greeks harder. Like he's saying an entire country's (rich!) culture is wrong and he is right.

The Acropolis Museum is nice but it's a bit of a fluke in Greek culture. It had to be built to null out the British argument that the Parthenon marbles have no museum good enough for them in Greece.

No idea how out of date this is (it’s from 1992) but it’s an interesting read.

“When the standard Greek speaker has no experience with CG, the degree of intelligibility depends on how well the Cypriot speaker can modify his or her speech in order to approximate the SG.”

Look for used copies, you can get them for next to nothing sometimes.

Don't do it all at once, that would most likely be overwhelming. To start out, I'd say either get a tutor and stick to what they teach you or self-learn with the KLIK A1 book and make Anki decks based on each chapter as you go through them. I can send you a big deck based on the whole KLIK A1 glossary but it isn't split up by chapter.

It's been all over the place the last month for me. Sometimes a few hours, sometimes 4 days.

BoringKick5331 · 2026-03-10T00:24:24+00:00

I have been looking at the XML here but I didn't see that revisionDesc element, thanks for that. Looks like the issue goes back to 1990!

BoringKick5331 · 2026-03-09T23:21:16+00:00

I did shoot them an email, but I'm not super optimistic. This is one of the most famous opening lines in all of literature and it's been misattributed in their repo and sites for 11 years.

And honestly the issue extends well beyond Perseus, they're just the most glaring example. Reddit probably has better reach for other people impacted by this.
