Office Carry

A coworker approached me recently to tell me he was getting his Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit. He asked if I would have any objections if he kept his gun in his briefcase while he was at work. I replied that I would most strongly object to that...

Me: "Your gun should be on your body."

Him: "That's okay in the office?"

Me: "Oh, most definitely."

The Need For ID

I started out for an evening walk and realized I had not put my wallet in my pocket. I did have my concealed handgun, which meant I was required to have both a picture ID and my concealed handgun permit. It occurred to me that all I had to do was tuck my shirt behind the gun, and I would be open carrying, thus no was CHP needed.

I chuckled at the absurdity, and further realized that according to Virginia law, it was actually legal for me to enter a pub and enjoy a beer while open carrying. However, with no ID I wouldn't be able to prove I was of legal age to buy alcohol.

It seems the only thing one can do these days with no ID is vote.

CCW Badges

I ran across this product on a Facebook posting recently. I thought it was a leftover April Fool's Day joke, but it appears to be a real thing.

I've never understood the fascination some people have with unconcealing their concealed carry status. There's a guy I often see at a local range who proudly wears this badge. I try not to laugh out loud.

The "reviews" of the CCW banner are quite entertaining too.
