Lobby Day is always held on Martin Luther King Day, a holiday, which falls on a Monday. You can lobby your law makers for whatever you desire. When I say lobby I mean to let them know how you feel about a certain issue. Encourage them to consider your point of view. Let them know as a voter what they can do to earn your vote.
You don't necessarily have to stand up and give a speech, although a few of us will. Really you need to be seen....Be there and be seen!! The VCDL will be there handing out GUNS SAVE LIVES stickers. Place one on your shirt and BE SEEN!!!
Of course the anti-gunners will be there too. They will be pushing for GUN CONTROL. They show up by the bus loads...literally!! Their numbers grow larger every year.
We make noise and they make noise. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Who will make the most noise? Who will get their way? We can win, but we have to be there.

That's my description of Lobby Day.


Hope to see you there!!!!

How are McAulliffe's latest actions going to affect Lobby Day?

more people than ever need to be there showing their support for our rights.
The antis will be there too lobbying for gun control

The squeaky wheel gets the grease!!

And if Bloomberg has his way and his two DEMOCRATS whos campaign he financed get elected in thats more trouble for us.

Folks,

The fact that Bloomberg's Pets did not take the Senate, means that the Anti's will next turn their energy to Lobby Day. They will try to make a strong point that more and more Virginians want "common sense" gun control laws - which to them means limit your 2nd Amendment rights as much as possible. We have 2 more years of this tyranny from Gov. Mc Aufle, and dont forget HIS position was successfully bought by the Clinton's and Bloomberg. We need to be sure this does not happen again in 2 years.

Some will not be able to attend lobby day, but for those who can we need every available person who believe's in the Constitution and their individual liberty to be there if at all possible. Some folks will make speeches, some will try to convince politicians, but the most important aspect is that you are there. It is the number of people pushing for a cause, not the elegance of their speech or rhetorical powers that will prevail. By just going to lobby day you will have given the most important contribution that anyone can - showed up to be counted.

Mark you calandars NOW for the 18th. VCDL will again hand out stickers, and they also typically offer bus rides from all over the state for a reasonable amount round trip. I believe it was $25ish last year.

See you there!!!

What time is the meeting / congregation on Lobby Day and the location? I cannot come for the full day but want to make the biggest impact!

8am til noon

8am til 11am we are inside the general assembly building
11am -noon rally outside

General assembly building where? Sorry new to VA, so the more info the better please. Address?

Here's the info para

Has the EO banning firearms from some places changed how we can carry outside the building where speeches will be made?
T

Its my understanding we can still carry inside and outside. Have to have a concealed carry permit regardless i you open or conceal inside.

I'll see if I can dig up a link

heres a copy/paste from the VCDL facebook page

Gun carry on lobby day, Monday, January 18th. Many people have asked if they can carry their handgun on lobby day. The answer is yes (unless you are a prohibited person.) You can Open Carry on the grounds outside. You can Open Carry or Concealed carry inside the building if you have a permit recognized by Virginia. I had previously been told by the Capital Police that it had to be a VIRGINIA issued permit, but Philip just confirmed that any permit that is recognized by Virginia will do. As always, if you have any trouble with capital police or anything during the event.. grab any Executive Member to reach Philip and let him address the situation. Thank you and see you on Monday Morning! (Dress Warm). Carry On. Ed
