Like I said, not proof, but it is more than passingly strange that Brownell's after many years suddenly quits using what is generally the most economical/ timely shipping method. I find it interesting, to say the least, that Brownells answer to my question, "Is Brownel's still able to ship by...

Not that this is proof positive to any of y'all but this is the answer I received from my inquiry to Brownell's about UPS. Thank you for contacting Brownells. We apologize for the delayed response. Currently, UPS is not a shipping option for Brownells. Please contact us for further assistance...

Thanks for the replies, it is good to get facts and opinions from knowledgeable people. I just found .30 cans at theammocanman.com for 3 x 30 Cal Ammo Can Used Grade 2 $26.85 plus $5,75 shipping I was happy with the price.

Good points CapnMac. The metal is obviously the better idea. How about the metal Chinese copies, since I am not seeing the quantity or quality of even a short while ago in mil surplus. The only ones I am seeing offered are either foreign mil or in sad shape. Did .gov quit selling them to the...

Do any members have an opinion about the various plastic cans vs mil. surplus cans for ammo storage? If surplus cans are no longer available, which of the alternatives are best in your opinion? Have any of you tried the Horror Freight and various other Chinese metal cans and have any opinion...

Thanks for a great answer jmorris, unfortunate but accurate. I probably asked wrong, does anyone have direct knowledge of a .gov policy of destroying ammo cans vs auctioning them off, They have become, as I am sure the members are aware, unavailable. As a side question, do any members have...

A question for the members that are dialed into current mil policy. I was told by a soldier that all ammo cans were being destroyed instead of being surplussed out. Is it possible that this level of irresponsibility has really taken over mil policy?

I can see that we differ on some items. I have gone armed to every General Assembly session at least once for over ten years. The only people that ever knew it were the very professional Capitol Police. Many of the various legislators are armed as well. I have been in close contact with my...

I defiantly agree that January 20 is too late. However the session starts January 8 and I am told by reliable sources that the beginning of a session, especially one that has a lot of first attendees is chaos. Do you have any suggestions as to dates? I am probably going to hear back from more...

I wonder about the ever present SKS with a five round internal magazine, and bayonet mount? This same passage seems to ban a bolt action rifle with a detachable magazine and a muzzle brake, which describes most dedicated long range rifles.

I disagree with your assessment of the situation. The urban areas have already discounted the deplorable rural dwellers as unimportant. I doubt that us rednecks have much to say that will make things any worse. That being said, if the 2A Sanctuary movement is not optimal what do you suggest...

Am I reading [18.2-308.8.Importation,sale,possession,etc.,of assault firearms prohibited].this passage wrong? It seems to say we may keep the magazine but won't have anything to put them in legally.

Thank you for pointing that out, it may be the only light in this whole sordid affair.

I have been one of the "leaders" in the past. No one from VCDL prepared me in any way. I have spent a large part of my professional life in sales and have been on many, many cold calls so that and a bit of research on my own was it. The result was I was ill prepared. I know others that played...

This VA folk believes it will send a message. The 2A Sanctuary is a good, fairly easy first step since the County Supervisors in most rural counties feel as we do. The question I have for the board is, Can anyone suggest a next step? Aside from the obvious of showing up in Richmond and...
