While a lot of us were doing yard work, fishing, whatever, a group of gun owners were doing what they do nearly every week. Promoting gun ownership and lawful carry.
This isn't meant to be critical of those that were doing other things. I spent the day taking video and NOT having stickers available. I just kept an eye on those that were doing the work.
The day started at Shoney's where Taz, Grapeshot, GT, Double Tap, Scouser and Skidmark met.
After breakfast the group broke up and Double Tap, Skidmark and Grapeshot went to the Henrico Public Safety Fair (or whatever they call it). They didn't solicit people to take stickers but they did have them available for those that wanted them.
This goes a long way and the fact that the County had obviously told the employees this was perfectly legal is a testament to the power Gun Owners have now. Notice I didn't say VCDL or the Gun Lobby which was NOT present. These were just individuals.
The individuals are our strength. It doesn't matter if they're at a public event or walking Cary Street, this is where we get our muscle. I can remember years ago when the day would have been much different.
Franc White used to end every show with "Take a kid Fishing". We should end every week with "Bring in another gun owner".
