If there’s one State that seems to lead the fight against unconstitutional gun laws, it’s Virginia. Recently, in Henrico County, the Board of Supervisors was scheduled to consider banning firearms, ammunition, and other firearm-related components from any buildings owned or used by Henrico County. The new ordinance would also extend to buildings owned or used by entities created or controlled by the county, including community and recreation centers.
The new policy was created with the intention of excluding all citizens, including those with concealed carry permits. The ordinance would exempt private security personnel if the county specifically hires them if approved. It would also exclude military personnel only when acting in the capacity of their military duties.
Fortunately, but not surprisingly, the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) recognized this as a clear violation of the 2nd Amendment and a dangerous policy that would make people unarmed and helpless in several locations of Henrico County.
Known for their unwavering persistence in protecting the rights of Virginians, VCDL stepped up and rallied the troops.

VCDL President Philip Van Cleave said, “The Board announced that due to the large volume of calls and emails, the County Manager needed time to study all those comments. Could this come up again in the future? Possibly, we just don’t know. But we will be watching.”
It would seem real Americans have had just about enough of the gun-grabbing propaganda machine constantly grinding its way through our traditional American values. The Bill of Rights, specifically the 2nd Amendment, was written because our Founding Fathers saw the tyrants coming over 200 years away. The good folks in Virginia are not afraid to confront them. When necessary, they stand up and set an example.

They won’t stop unless We the People stop them.
Good article. Good news!! And yes we’ve had enough of the intentional Infringing.
It’s a shame the NAME(S) of the person(s) on the Board of Supervisors who were behind this weren’t named and noted; this would be valuable information for voters when they come up for re-election.
Er Uhm the County does not own those buildings, We The People do. Tyrants get it through your heads, public means public!
Unfortunately, in the North East, schools have brain washed the population. Especially those who had no fathers. It is very effective, (Destroy America from the inside), They have become adults now, and America is in crisis. And now, like locusts, they move from the area that their ideas have destroyed to new areas to destroy that population with their political agenda. They may be out gunned, we are certainty out mouthed. And WE THE PEOPLE being law abiding citizens will not turn a gun on them. So, the way its going, it’s only a matter of time before we lose… Read more »
“The Bill of Rights, specifically the 2nd Amendment, was written because our Founding Fathers saw the tyrants coming over 200 years away.”
And would ya’ll like to know why? Not because they were prescient, but because they had just fought a war against the tyrants of their day, and were well familiar with their tricks and techniques.
They did their level best to warn us too. It’s not their fault that most of us failed to listen!
can you believe george soros lost to the people
but you can bet they will try again without having it on agenda
Virginia has been targeted for a long time now by the anti-gun folks and although VCDL does a good job of monitoring the actions of the politicians there, they need a concerted effort to elect folks to offices that are pro-gun folks and also, if there was a state preemption on local firearms activity on the part of the various levels of political power there wouldn’t be a way for the local officials to consider actions like this one. I believe that Virginia had that at one time and then the political winds shifted and the preemption law was dismantled.… Read more »
Who wrote that bill?
Who introduced that bill?
If we hand in our guns to the government either piecemeal or all at once what will protect us from the government?
Oh, that County Manager needs to be removed.
“It would also exclude military personnel only when acting in the capacity of their military duties.“
I don’t think that was worded correctly.
