You bought property. Where are you going to run to? Some point we all need to stand and fight.
I agree with you for the most part, but I think there's a bigger gun culture in VA overall then MD, so I don't think it's as dire as the next election cycle. I use the regularity of the Nation's Gun Show in Ashburn, the number of higher end "guntry clubs" in Loudoun County and nearby counties, the increase in the number of CCW holders, etc. And while not our friend, the NRA is HQ'd in Fairfax too. I feel the resistance going to be pretty strong and will make MD level BS a bit further off. That doesn't mean VA residents should breath a sign of relief. They share the 4th Circuit with us, and as you mentioned, momentum is on the left's side. But it's not unreasonable for VA to be a decent retreat state for those of bound to the DC area, but too tired to fight in MD.
I thought you were leaving VA for somewhere else.I'm not "running" from MD because of gun legislation (although it's a plus) but more a planning for retirement thing. MD is to expensive to retire in and I can get more for my money in VA.
Give me a heads up,would had loved to visit the Capitol and been a extra body..strength in numbers of law abiding citizens..been hobbling and waiting on my foot operation,just has not been too active..
It's only good news in the same way that one's been missed by an inch with the first bullet in a protracted gun fight. In VA, the assault from the left is just getting started, and the conservatives will lose the legislature next time around. This is a fleeting delay, not a reprieve from these sorts of laws in VA. Northern VA is toxic on all of this, and they will be running the show from the next election and going forward. As with Maryland, only significant federal court relief will help in the long run.
How are you certain they the GOP will lose the legislature in November?
Democrats picked up 15 seats in the House and many of them are actually in red/red-leaning areas they won them in their "blue wave". They will have a difficult time defending all those seats.
