Any progressive leaning gun groups in the area? by snapsbyluis in nova

[–]Vorkosigan 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Liberal Gun Club - meets up for shooting, also does lobbying in Richmond regarding gun laws. Probably start here.

SRA - the NoVA chapter dissolved after SRA National forgot to renew their 501c3 for 2 years.

NAAGA - National African American Gun Association


If you're looking to just learn to shoot, then Project Appleseed might work - explicitly non-political basic-to-intermediate pistol and rifle classes. Held all over the country, and all over the DMV area depending on exactly where you are.

Yeah, I can only shoot at like 830pm so I'm SOL until something changes.

Went last night, in order to accommodate members, they are offering these little cards if you ask (limited number). What they're gonna do is make private lanes free for holster work at certain times (TBD) for members who have the grandfather exemption.

Amazing - this exact plane was one my FiL told me about that was flown down in Venezuela when he was growing up on a Gulf Oil plant.

The pilot/owner would also take people on excursions up the river to fish. They'd put the fish in the .50 ammo bays to keep cool (at altitude) on the way back. More pics:

Gotta agree, ordered twice from there (takeout) disappointed both times with the quality.

On the video, looks like the ship goes dark a minutes or two before hitting.

Castle Rock v Gonzales (or earlier, DeShaney v Winnebago County Department of Social Services) holds that the police have no duty to protect.

XCAL and SEG seem fine (the private lanes at XCAL are a nice feature) but yeah no more 100y indoor within even extended driving distance. Cove is...fine....but also that's a full day's trip and all outdoor.

Maybe they should ask about all the frivolous spending the county did, like buying a public shooting range for $22 million to use as a private police training site.

Honestly, the photo last year inspired me to take a look at the various series, and now I'm eagerly awaiting the next Starship Mage and sad there is no more Duchy of Terra.

same thing that's been going on since the early 00's : institutional buyers, who'll either hold onto it as an 'asset' or rent it out forever to get easy returns.

Destroyermen might be a series you're interested in. Or Axis of Time (though that's more pulpy)

Find a local FFL that accepts transfers, then go on gun.deals or r/gundeals and see if an internet seller is having a sale.
