Got a phone call from a fellow VCDL member about a town hall being held in Manassas with Sen. Marshall, Colgan and Baker and grabbed my coat, pistol and took off.
I said my piece, acknowledging Sen. Marshall's upcoming legislation for concealed carry on college campuses and how that's sensible but that it's also unfair that I as a non-student can walk onto a college campus in Virginia while OC'ing or CC'ing but that if I was a student I instantly lose my rights.
I asked for less restrictions on firearm laws in general and also mentioned how FOIA needs to be strengthened so that we as citizens and taxpayers can keep better tabs on government.
I stepped down and got some applause (wow!). Now, here's the impressive part....
After everyone was done and the meeting was adjorned I had two women come up to me and shake MY hand and both told me; "Thank you for open carrying". I was floored. Both women mentioned that they had CHPs but that it was good to see someone OC'ing.
:celebrate:celebrate:celebrate
I'm gonna hit the Silver Diner in Woodbridge now to reward myself with a piece of apple pie now. And, I'll do it again...while OC'ing.
