I do plan on sharing my views on politics but not as the main focus of the blog.   There will be lots of 2nd Amendment talk. Guns - Guns - Guns. More focus on my local scene and home life.

I've been silent for a long time and I figure I owe readers an explanation. My health has gradually declined over the past year - 18 months. About 8 months ago it got the best of me and I went to see my doctor. Blood work showed a couple problems. The first was a bone marrow issue and a low platelet count. The next problem was my Hepatitis C was active...Active is a huge understatement. It was

Smart move.A new law will require Virginia’s education department to come up with a gun-safety curriculum for public elementary schools that incorporates guidelines from the National Rifle Association.

Donald Lawson was beaten and now he is taking his revenge. Alton has the story and pictures. This guy refuses to turn over the GOP website and is now using it to hurt the local party. This makes me wonder if Lawson really had good intentions to grow the local unit during his term as  chairperson?Haven't we learned that this type of behavior destroys local units?
