Anyone here into firearms?

For priming the cases. I have 2 RCBS case primers. One set up for small primer, and the other for large primer.

I've been using the Lee Auto-prime... well, it's more semi-auto I suppose. I've worn out several of the arms that go between the thumb lever and the primer post...

I really need to find a better media than the green corn cob for cleaning cases. After about priming 500 rounds, my fingers are black...

For cleaning the cases. I've gone from the Lyman 1200 tumbler with corn cob, to walnut. To now using the Hornady Ultra Sonic.

I like the Lyman primer better. I think the RCBS was jamming up on me IIRC

I have 3 RCBS powder measures. A Little Dandy, and 2 Competition Powder Measures. The Little Dandy, I use for pistol. The 2 other measures are set-up for small rifle, and the other for large rifle.

For those VA folks. Can you give me the quick run down on conceal carry laws? Texas has reciprocity with VA and just curious if there are any weird laws. Also is there a mag size limit?

VA has pretty standard carry laws, no weird laws yet. With Bloomberg's butt buddy Northam in charge and the Dems majority we have been fortunate nothing too bad has been passed yet. The only thing of concern at the moment it the possibility of a law that would allow cities and counties to pass their own regulations that can be stricter than state law. Fortunately Northam kicked it back to the House/Senate for changes we'll see what happens there. WRT round count, the cap is 20 per mag for certain jurisdictions unless you have a CHP. Also can't carry a pistol that can accept a silencer, unless you have a CHP.

For conceal carry laws the USCCA is a great resource. They tend to have the most up to date info (VA was updated 4-20-2020) and they make it easy to understand. I have the web address for their reciprocity and law map saved on all my devices for quick reference.

Go over the info on USCCA and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!

Thanks for the link. If I do carry in these other states I’ll have to familiarize myself with signage requirements. Texas is black and white. If the actual wording of the law is not placed visibly in 1” block letters at the entrance in both English and Spanish, then it doesn’t apply.

I guess you're going to be in VA at some point. Where are you heading? BE WARNED, if you didn't know already VA speeding laws are some of, if not the worst, in the country. Definitely keep it under 20 over and under 80 unless you like massive fines and the possibility to going straight to jail. Keep it to 10 over, don't be the fastest car, and don't drive like a douche and you'll be fine. However VA State Troopers have been known to pick on out of staters especially ones with modified/loud cars. Also the use of radar/laser detectors are prohibited. You can have a detector in your car just you can't be using it and don't have it in reach.

My in-laws live there and we visit them every summer, so I’m familiar with the traffic laws. I’m only going to be in VA for about 10 miles of our trip. They live on the NC/VA border. I’m not really concerned with actually carrying, but I don’t want to drive halfway across the country without a way to protect my family. Normally we fly, but with this Covid BS we are likely to drive this year.

Here is the ruling from Judge Benitez regarding the Ammo background check in California. He pretty much destroyed the law as written by using....surprise... common sense. Hopefully they wont put a stay on this ruling while it goes through appeals.

https://michellawyers.com/wp-content...anting-MPI.pdf.

If anyone is familiar with the law process, please correct me in my understanding of the appeals.
1. California can take it up to the 9th circuit
2. In the 9th ckt, it goes through a 3 judge panel to review Judge Benitez decision

At this point, what would determine the case to go to an 11 judge panel? Also, if it goes to the 11 judges, their decision becomes law for all states that fall under the 9th circuit courts jurisdiction. Does this go both ways? If they decide to uphold the ammo background check will it apply to the other states as well?
