Today was the long awaited and dreaded, hearing by VDOF concerning the weapons rule change
Judging by the comments made by NRA members, I fully expected a great deal of opposition to Open carry. Not one person came in to support CHP only. Every non employee there was a VCDL member and everyone spoke…except myself. I’m not a good public speaker, am short tempered and blunt and there are some legal/ethical issues with me speaking to a Governmental Body while covering it for OV.
My wife spoke though.
Each speaker was effective and Professional. The whole thing made me proud to be a VCDL member. Imagine that. 100% attendance was VCDL.
The President of VCDL was busy at the General Assembly trying to deal with the unethical subcommittee and Bruce Jackson gave a masterful presentation. I have some video of Mr. Jackson’s presentation among others. That will be available here tomorrow.
Here are a few photos of the going ons.
Clint Kritzer, gave an especially good talk about his daughter who is not yet 21 and can’t get a permit yet.
The proceedings were very cordial among the VDOF Officials and Ronald Jenkins, Assistant State Forester was upfront with the questions I asked.
While there may still be a fight ahead, I’d consider this a very real win for all gunowners and VCDL members.
