URGENT ACTION ITEM: Let's get more comments opposing the state agency gun ban before the hearing on Wednesday!
**************************************************

As I am writing this at 9:30 PM on Sunday, there are 880 or so comments against the Governor's state-agency gun-ban.

That's a nice start, but we need more than that and we need it quickly.

On Wednesday, there is a hearing on the ban and when I get my chance to speak, I want to be able to say that we have many more than 1,000 comments against the ban! The bigger that number, the more impressive my comment will be.

So, please - if you haven't put in your comments on the ban, do so ASAP. Keep spreading the word on chat groups and amongst family, friends, and acquaintances!

Here's a link to the comment area. Just click on "enter a comment" near the top of the page and enter your comment against the ban. The subject line should clearly state that you oppose the regulation. For the comment itself, you can just say, "I oppose the proposed regulation!"

I miss the days when every truck had a gun rack. With a gun in it. Half the guys I went to school with had guns at school. It may still be that way in some places.

Bump for Virginians

I used two similes/comparatives when discussing Open Carry or Concealed Carry with private citizens.

1) Maritime law and a ship's Captain ultimate and awesome legal responsibility for the wake that he creates from his vessel until dispersed many miles away.

2) OSHA and the carpentry shop. If I was to require all upon entering my carpentry shop to remove steel toe boots, ear protection and eye protection... I would therein assume full responsibility for their injuries.

Obviously the same must be true when State owned buildings, Post Offices or other gun free zones require me to remove my PPE upon entry.

Had one of those myself..
