I'll be there. Recently moved from NJ partially due to draconian gun laws. I won't stand idly by and let it happen here too.

In the past you can carry but need your conceal handgun permit.

• A bill requiring background checks on all gun sales, including private sales at gun shows or online. The measure is sponsored by Del. Kenneth R. Plum (D-Fairfax) and Sen. L. Louise Lucas (D-Portsmouth).

What does this mean for VaGunTrader?
We all better be at Lobby Day and fight this!!!

Sadly Virginia has fallen to the liberal sledgehammer called nova , me and fiancé are thinking about moving to Utah or Alaska In a few years , we can’t battle that liberal crap storm up there unless we go the way of our forefathers in the 1770s ! I say give everything north of Fredericksburg to Maryland !!!!!!

I consider the Rappahannock River in Fredericksburg the line. Everything north of there it all changes.
The past couple years have taken trips out to the Midwest. Wow, a whole nother world out there.
If I could just pick up and leave I would definitely consider it. But I'm a long ways off from financially being able to afford to do something like that.
Northern Virginia, the city of Richmond, and parts of Tidewater, are our enemy.
But that's just my opinion.

I will be there. It’s a shame people let their emotions take precedent over facts and logic. Anytime I hear a politician spouting off about “common sense” laws it translates to the degradation of rights. At what point have we had enough?

So just give up and leave, yea sounds about right. AND expand MD’s territory so that eventually VA will just become MD, yup makes a lot of sense.

Also for those who have to work that day, I’d advise to think outside of the box. People call out sick for the lamest excuses all the time, so if you’re able-please do, bc FREEDOM isn’t something you post pone until it’s too late. Just my 2c

The Liberal Democrats continue to attack gun owners. Sen. L. Louise Lucas (D-Portsmouth) down here in Portsmouth is and has been nothing but trouble. I just don't understand the way of thinking of Governor Ralph Northam, Nancy Pelosi and this new young Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other liberal elected officials. Lets put their package of bills on the next statewide election and let the people make these decisions.

I was going to go until I was told by the wife that my daughter is out of school that day. Already had the day off but now I’m stuck with daddy duties. What else can I do to get involved? Is there only one “lobby day” a year?

My wife is working. She has this idea that something bad Could happen.. and would probably kill me if I brought my daughter (as much as I want to). She’s not anti gun but she’s very paranoid about political events. Can someone give me a rundown of the agenda of the day? Is it like a protest? I’ve never been and am a fairly new gun owner (3years) but long time supporter of the bill of rights. Anyone care to PM or post here to give me an idea of what lobby day is like? Thanks.

Its not a protest.
More of a pep rally.
There's plenty of security there, I mean plenty.
There will be other people there lobbying for other things like education, renewable energy,motorcycle safety laws, etc.
What you can do is find your local Representatives that serve you can let them know how you feel about these new gun control laws that are up for vote. Remember, the anti-gun people will be there later that day after we leave doing the same thing. And the squeaky wheel tends to get the grease.
We just need to be there and be seen and let these lawmakers know that there are more people that won't stand for gun control versus those who will stand for gun control.

As far as the safety for your daughter goes I've never seen a safety issue there for anyone.
And again, there will be armed security including many city of Richmond police officers there.

These days the only thing that is going to change it is a repeat of our Declaration of Independence from tyranny , except this time it’s almost like a big joke but far from it , liberals are a joke , but a very dangerous and real threat at the elections , but on the battlefield they would be like shooting fish in a barrel . And let them pass the crap , I don’t obey fake laws . wink

I'm new to VA Gun Trader, and have to admit that my first reaction to this latest round of liberal "gun control" was to look for property in WV or TN, and to hell with this purple state. But I'm getting too old to run, so I'll stick around and take a stand. I'll be there with as many conservative buddy's as I can rally.
I'm assuming you don't need to be a VCDL member to attend.
Please confirm that CWP holders can legally carry at this event.
Thanks,

Ummm, Va gun trader died a while ago. It was great then all the sudden....Must sign BOS, Must show me 27 different IDS AND CCW While I ask for top dollar for this beat up used gun...

Rather due FFL sales now, especially when you see palmetto state armory guns going for double here for what they are on there own website...

Just my 2 cents...

EDIT:EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE YOU GET A GOOD DEAL HERE, but like always the gun community eats its own and self implodes....

If we can carry with a permit, I'm sure there will be plenty of armed citizens there too.

Re: LOBBY DAY 2019 -- We all need to be there !!!! - 01/11/19 01:46 PM

Call our VA state senators/delegates and ask them to vote against any new gun control measures.
It only takes five minutes to call them all. Only two picked up, the rest I left voicemails for. The two that picked up, (admin assistants), sounded fully supportive and appreciated the call.

"I'm calling to ask senator/delegate "xxx" to vote against any new gun control measures. We should be enforcing existing gun laws and locking up criminals, not penalizing law abiding citizens. I appreciate your support on this and in turn will support you"

Speaker Kirk Cox- 804-698-1066
Delegate T. Scott Garrett- (434) 455-0243
State Senator Jill Vogel- (804) 698-7527
State Senator Emmett Hanger- (540) 885-6898
State Senator Frank Wagner- (757) 228-3333
State Senator Ben Chafin- (276) 889-1044

I live in Ruther Glen/Ladysmith area about 25-30 miles north of Richmond. I have room for 3 comfortably if anyone wants to save a trip and car pool.

You can park at my place or drop your car off locally at Food Lion in Ladysmith and I can pick you up. Shoot me a PM if you want a ride along.

All but one of the bills from the senate failed yesterday. The house committee will hear the bills today at 4:00pm. These are the meetings VCDL needs to be at in my opinion. Not sure if anyone does attend or not.

Havent failed:
SB 1163 trigger activators increasing rate of fire. So essentially bump stocks and trigger cranks. Still not to the floor yet.

SB 1158 can conceal carry without cwp anywhere you can open carry.

still pending
librarys can become gun free zones up to the locality.

timeframe to issue non resident cwp permit must issue or deny in 45 days.

I believe someone said it starts starts at 830? Parking around the general assembly building isn’t hard but will require some walking. I’ve done tons of political things before and never got injured or in a fight and we bring our kids. Most I ever got was a argument but mostly scoffs.
