This is what "almost never carry it" means, folks.
PP, you should throw your handgun off a bridge, so you won't hurt yourself with it.
PP here. I go to the firing range regularly. I'm probably a better shot than you. You do not need a CCW to transport a firearm to the range in Virginia, but I expect you knew that already. I don't carry because I have young kids and the risk of something going horribly wrong is much higher than ever needing to use my gun in a life or death situation.
Sorry you're butthurt that someone can be pro-gun and anti-NRA/ anti-Comstock. There are plenty of people just like me, I assure you.
Provide us with some details, we'll decide if you're credible or not. I won't ask anything specific, since google will have all your answers for you. Just tell us a little about what and where, and how you carry, and where you shoot. Descriptions of the interior of the range. I've been to every range in FFX and PW county, tell us what they one you visit looks like inside (numbers of lanes, other details)
If you're actually a shooter, we'll know it by what info you post. If you choose not to provide details, well, that sort of proves the PP's points nicely.
This is creepy AF, honestly. Are you going to ask me what I look like next, so you can try and spot me at the range?

Of.
This.
Absolutely nails it.

I can assure you that the home in what I thought was her neighborhood is NOT what I would call average in any sense of the word. Was it an estate? No, but it was the nicest house I have been to this in this area.
It's my neighborhood. It's average. Two minutes of googling and you can find. That said, I can't stand her.

Wow, that poster was making a rude presumption about someone whose child was shot in the VA Tech massacre. Really low, and I say that as a gun owner (and NRA hater).

I live near Chantilly HS and I am in her district.
Also, did a PP really try to say Babs is not personally rich? Are you effing kidding me? She lives in a multi-million dollar mansion in McLean with her extremely rich husband.
