A long time advocate of RKBA. BoD member of Virginia Citizens Defense League, registered Lobbyist with the Va. General Assembly, former Academy Firearms Instructor for a state agency as well as NRA certifications, and am a daily practitioner of OC.
I am here to observe, learn, and see how you do things - not to change anyone's mind on what works for you or why. You know far better than I what works in your state - just hoping to foster a little brotherhood and maybe share a thought or two. Either we stand together or we swing alone.
Don't look for me to post a lot - I stay very busy with my present commitments, but glad you are here. Keep up the good work.

Re: New member from Virginia
WELCOME!!!
Where in Virginia is N. Chesterfield? I get down to your beautiful state on a semi-regular basis. I do some business in the extreme western tip of the state, Abingdon/Bristol area.

Re: New member from Virginia
Appreciate the warm welcome and kind words.
Brotherhood for me defines that I am a brother to all (male and female) that share the common core belief in our natural right to self-defense. That is the spring from which all else flows.
Whether you CC (I have both a Virginia permit and one from Utah), OC or even if you don't carry at all - what counts then is that you do nothing to infringe on the ability of others to carry. Those of us on the front lines are going to be especially vigilant over these next few years. We are winning though - I truly believe that.
N. Chesterfield is south of the Richmond city limits.

Re: New member from Virginia
Welcome aboard, Grapeshot! Nice to see you come over here to visit us on the OFCC forums! (Oh, in case you hadn't noticed, we are a bit more, um, "reserved", as a general rule than what we often see over on OCDO...

Re: New member from Virginia
Welcome Grapeshot!!
You have your hands full over there, don't you?
Contrary to popular opinion, OFCC doesn't have a problem with OC.
They do have a concern with folks organizing knee jerk protests as a result of this or that, though.
They are more interested in protecting their reputation than they are OC'ing,
The problem is, knee jerk protests are always OC, so they keep the OC area off limits to non-members.
In any event, welcome, and watch how we do things in Ohio
