Virginia's church carry law is one of those statutes that sounds more restrictive than it actually is — and the gap between what people think it says and what it actually does is wide enough to cause real confusion for daily carriers. "If any person carry any gun, pistol, bowie knife, dagger or other dangerous weapon, without good and sufficient reason, to a place of worship while a meeting for religious purposes is being held at such place he shall be guilty of a Class 4 misdemeanor." That language is from 1950 and hasn't moved since 1975. "Good and sufficient reason" does a lot of work in that sentence — and for over a decade it's been doing that work in favor of carriers, not against them. "Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli concluded that carrying a weapon for personal protection satisfies the 'good and sufficient reason' requirement, meaning someone legally carrying for self-defense is not violating this statute by bringing that same firearm into a worship service." An AG opinion isn't a court ruling, but it's what law enforcement and prosecutors have been working from since 2011 with no challenge that's stuck. If you carry daily for self-defense in Virginia, your reason is already baked in — you're not constructing a defense on the fly if someone asks. "A church's own posted policy, backed by Virginia trespass law, operates independently of § 18.2-283. You can be fully compliant with the carrying statute and still be asked to leave, or face trespass exposure, if you ignore a congregation's own posted restriction." This is the part people miss. State law and house rules are two different conversations. Being legally clear under § 18.2-283 doesn't mean a congregation has to let you stay — same as any other private property in Virginia. Know the posted policy of wherever you're walking in. For those of you who carry in Virginia — has your church or place of worship ever posted an explicit no-weapons policy, or is this one of those things that just never comes up until it does?

CWD has quietly redrawn the Wisconsin deer hunting map, and if you're planning a trip across the border this fall, the baiting rules are the first thing you need to sort out — before you book anything. "As of November 14, 2025, baiting deer was prohibited in 60 of Wisconsin's 72 counties and legal in only 12." That's not a typo — 60 out of 72. If you grew up hunting Wisconsin-style with a bait pile and a blind, that approach is now illegal across most of the state. Worth knowing before you load up the truck with corn. "If additional CWD cases are confirmed during an active ban, the clock resets — extending the ban for another two to three years." This is the part that really grinds on hunters who've been waiting out a ban. One new positive in a county that was close to clearing, and you're starting over. That reset provision means a lot of these counties aren't getting out from under it anytime soon. "Hunters may bring whole carcasses or parts harvested in CWD-affected counties into Wisconsin, provided the carcass or non-exempt parts are delivered to a licensed taxidermist or meat processor within 72 hours of registering a Wisconsin deer." The 72-hour window on carcass movement catches people off guard — especially if you're hunting far from home and not heading straight back. The exempt parts list (deboned meat, quarters with no spinal column, antlers with no tissue attached) is worth memorizing now rather than standing in a parking lot trying to read regulations on your phone. For anyone who's hunted Wisconsin in the last few seasons — how have you adjusted your setup now that baiting is off the table in your county? Stands over scrapes, food plots, something else?
