I agree totally.  They claim it's because of cost increases, but given

             Using MAPLE V:  A Primer


     Maple V is an interactive Computer Algebra System that is 
quite suitable for use by many disciplines. It has a friendly 
and comprehensive programming language, both 2D and 3D graphics
capabilities, an extensive library of advanced general-purpose
and special-purpose functions, runs on a variety of platforms,
and is capable of sophisticated number crunching and symbol
manipulation.

     I am scheduling a short and informal introduction to MAPLE V
consisting of five two-hour hands-on sessions in our Computer
Classroom, ES-146, from Wednesday, January 6, through Tuesday,
January 12, 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. each day.

     Topics include:

     Getting started; using on-line help; numerical manipulation;
     expressions vs. procedures; symbolic capabilities; graphic 
     capabilities; some programming capabilities; and, saving,
     reading, and printing your work.

A liberal is a conservative who has been arrested.

A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged.

A libertarian is a liberal who was mugged, bought a gun to defend

The problem is not Bruce, but the new Virginia brandishing laws that
went in to effect in November.

It basically says that anything a police officer thinks is a real gun
is a real gun and the person holding said object may be subject to
criminal prosecution, as well as subject to being killed by the police
officer's (real) gun.

Since Bruce is the sponsor of the convention, he can also be held
criminally liable for any member of the convention found subject to
the new brandishing laws.  So don't blame Bruce: under similar
circumstances I'd have second thoughts about running a convention at
all.

This new law is also the reason why there will never be another
WEAPONSCON ever in Virginia.

Also, word to the wise: anyone found crashing the convention will be
taken to central holding by the Arlington PD, after being given one
chance to buy a membership.  Again, don't blame Bruce, the hotel is
insisting on this one.

I would like to recommend what I think is an excellent body shop on
on Gude drive in Rockville called Zamora's Auto Body.  Give them a call
at (301)294-1303.  They have fixed cars for my family for a number of
years and have always done an great job.  You can tell by the type
of cars that are there when you go there (Mercedes, BMW, etc) that 
they have a good reputation.

The bulk of the guns taken in DC in connection with drug cases are, as I
recall, 9mm  and 32 cal. guns.  Also the Bureau of ATF claims that the 9mm 
the weapon of choice for most of the people involved in drug selling.

The problem is that both honest and dishonest citizens can buy the means
of easily delivering deadly force, unencumbered by even the most
rudimentary background checking here in Virgina.   It is incredible how 
many Virginia purchased guns end up being involved in criminal activity
up and down the entire east coast (this makes a mockery of DC's more
stringent gun purchasing requirements).

Those that say that the laws against using a gun to commit a crime should
be strengthened must feel that revenge is the best solace, rather than
prevention of the tragedy in the first place. 

A state that says that a driving license is a privilege to be earned, but
a gun license is a right, has it's priorities way out of kilter.  I believe
that if you want a gun you should take a test, demonstrate an ability to
use the gun safely and handle it in a proper manner, have a spent bullet
from the gun identified in a ballistics test (same as fingerprinting) to
go into a national databank, be required to notify the state whenever
the gun is transferred to someone else, and carry liability insurance
in case your gun ever does harm.    We go through most of these things to
own a car, a handgun should be at least as tough.

Hmmm...how does this differ from similar laws in other states that
using a toy gun is the same as a real gun (in a crime)?  Other than it
sounds very poorly written (surprise) and allows police a tad more
leeway it generally does come down to an officer's sometimes rushed
decision if that gunlike object pointed in his direction is a .357 or
a laser tag toy...

Not a problem.  If Virgina is being the pinhead then I'll simply see
people at the next con...

'Sides...if they are staying at the hotel I can simply arrange to
catch them at the restaurant.  Its not like I ever go to panel or
anything...and I really doubt the hotel will fuss if hotel visitors
stay in those kind of areas (like the rotating bar) as opposed to
"convention" area...which you really can't get at without a badge
anyway if I remember hotel layout correctly.

I think it's pretty clear that the laws have failed because they do
not account for one little problem:  disarmament only works if BOTH
sides disarm.  And criminals, by definition, aren't following the law.

All I'd meant by Washington State's "non-experimentation" is that in
Washington State, you can get a permit to carry a gun, concealed, as
long as you are legally allowed to own a gun in the first place.  It's
termed a "non-discretionary" permit, meaning that the police can't
pick-and-choose who gets it.

And crime *does* appear to be quite a bit lower there. . . .

Similarly, both Florida and Oregon have seen drops in crime rates after
they opened up their CCW systems.
