Good news for VA. The legislative committe appts are out today. The one in charge of gun control bills is a second amendment supporter so we will hold our ground here in VA for at least another 2 years. He will kill any and all gun control bills. Sometimes just holding your ground is an accomplishment.

You know I consider TX superior in gun laws because of your excellent castle doctrine. It is a great thing to be able to OC, but at the end of the day if I ever have to use my weapon it would be nice to have the law a fair arbiter. OC is wonderful. A solid castle doctrine is much better. We will see. In one year everything is on the table.

The idea still floats about. But it is a hard move and Chris is still finishing up his degree. I don't want to rock the boat when he is so close to being done. When he is done everything is on the table. I have family both here and there, but my parents are in VA so it is a hard call. Still.....we might just pack them up and take them with us! My dad has been jobless for years and my mom makes less than 20K a year so I am certain they could do better in TX.

Thank you btw, that is most kind of you.

No argument from me. Cuchinelli could have been great but he spent 3/4 of his campaign running away from the his own positions on issues. He was a really good AG. It is in the could have..... should have.....would have.....oh well.

Time to get up and try again.

As some of you may or may not know Virginia's new governor was elected on Tuesday with 47% of the vote. He is is Bloomberg's stooge and it was, in part, Bloomberg's $$ that brought him to our lovely state. Cuchinelli lost for many reasons. Some of his own making, some of the RNC, some of it was the DNC running a plant as a libertarian. The democrats played very dirty here. They out and out lied repeatedly and loudly for 9 months and out spent us by I think it was 10 to 1. That we had 45% of the vote was amazing. It was a bad beat.

I mention this hear to let y'all take lesson from this. Cuchinelli was thought to be a shoe-in a year ago. McAwful ( I will NEVER EVER call him by his proper name) was a carpet bagging joke. Please be aware. If this can happen in VA be on your guard TX. They will try to do the same thing to you.

Right now VA gun owners are trying to decide what to do. We still have the legislature. We might have the AG (uncertain at this point). It appears as though McAwful just wanted this governorship so that he could be Hillary's VP. But you do not take Bloombergs money without owing him something. So we are worried. We are trying to decide whether it is prudent to stay and fight the good fight here or whether we should look for a safer ground to make a stand on.

Don't let them do to TX what they did to VA.
