Back to the front...
I have been offline for a bit, seems with the snow, the farm, and my regular job, posting has lagged behind. But we're still here...


Catching up, it seems the Virginia Citizens Defense League did great work in fighting off a number of anti-gun bills in Virginia, early in the session this season. However, the Governor has since reported out of his taskforce a couple of bills now in the Senate that need to be defeated. SB 1377 and SB 1378 must go down in flames.

Recently the Gun Owners of America issued the strategy we must adopt...."Defeat Every Word of Gun Control"  (Link Here)

Take the GoA advice........if your in Virginia, contact the Governor and your Senators...now.

This is the email alert I received from the National Association for Gun Rights today:

Governor Bob McDonnell has sent forward two anti-gun measures that are currently making their way through the Virginia Senate.

Even though the Governor's special taskforce on school safety had some good legislation to work with, they've decided to move in the OPPOSITE direction -- away from safety and away from freedom.

Instead, Governor McDonnell is pushing these anti-gun measures:

SB 1377 turns you into a criminal for defending yourself at a college or university. Under this bill, any law-abiding adult who defends herself on campus would almost certainly face a class 3 felony charge, EVEN in a clear-cut self-defense case.

SB 1378 increases the potential criminal penalties for buying and transferring guns; meaning that law-abiding Virginians could be slapped under a microscope, locked up for 10 years and fined up to $100,000, for virtually any non-government sanctioned firearms sale.

If we are going to halt these awful bills from becoming laws, pro-gun citizens like you and me must rally and make sure the Governor knows where the people of the Commonwealth stand.

Call Governor McDonnell's office at (804) 786-2211 as soon as you can and tell him to stop proposing bills that trash the 2nd Amendment AND make law-abiding people less safe.

Unfortunately, the Senate is moving quickly to force these anti-gun bills through before you can respond. You must take action immediately!

SB 1377 and SB 1378 are both headed to the full Senate for a floor vote in the next few days.

After you contact the Governor, please take the time to contact your Virginia State Senator and voice your opposition to both SB 1377 and SB 1378.
