Virginia Citizens Defense League Lobby Day 2022 Preliminary Information :: 12/10/2021
First, some background. In 2019, anti-self-defense Democrats took control of the Virginia Senate and House of Delegates. They already had control of the Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General positions. That led to a massive push for localities to protect the rights of gun owners at the end of 2019, as gun owners rightfully feared what would be coming. Over 105,000 gun-owners across the state flooded their city hall, town hall, or Board of Supervisors meetings, demanding their right to keep and bear arms be protected against unconstitutional gun-laws by having the locality declare itself a Second Amendment Sanctuary. 95% of the localities became sanctuaries in a wave that swept the state and made national and international news!

Did DeSantis Promise To Sign Constitutional Carry Bill? :: 12/08/2021
Floridian gun rights activists have been pushing for open carry for quite some time. While they want constitutional carry just like everyone else, they’ll likely be happy enough to get open carry.
