As you can see, this is my first post.
Just sent in my "2 cents worth" via Paypal. As the saying goes: "there, but for the Grace of God, go I".
Thanks to all of the movers and shakers on this site.
FYI, I learned of this tragedy as a member of VCDL when I saw it show up on the VCDL "feed".
I'm a life member of whatever 2A org "will have me as a member" (to paraphrase Groucho): NRA, GOA, VCDL, CCRKBA, etc. but I don't have time to participate in venues like this on a regular basis. If it weren't for PVC's (and helpers') tireless efforts at VCDL, I probably would not have learned of this effort. Actually I caught his act Wednesday night in Cville - wish he had mentioned this issue then and I would have been on board sooner as I suspect others in his audience might have been.
Is there a way for this org to send out an "alert" via email when an important effort such as this becomes necessary? A call to arms as it were.
I'd like to just make one more comment. This incident, while egregious, is an isolated event in VA. My son is a LEO and I know the kind of training he gets and we all know there are bad apples in every basket. However, we are very lucky to be able to exercise our 2A rights here in VA (at least right now), where - having moved here from the Northeast - I had virtually NONE. Everyone's 2A rights is being attacked at the federal level and the Supreme Court is currently only one vote on the 2A side (Heller, etc.). IMO, everyone who believes in liberty and the 2A should be pushing for a federal law that permits OC and CC as part of the US Code. For that matter knife laws ought to be part of it as well.
I hope I haven't violated any posting rules with my comments regarding my donation.
Thanks again
Welcome to the site!
Actually, it isn't an isolated incident although it's not as common as it used to be.
That doesn't mean it's a slur on all LEO's. Most are decent people, a few bad ones and a few great's
The problem is more in the Administration of a few departments that don't want guns and encourage and reward officers for bending the law.
In this case, it's Henrico and there are some bad officers there and the Administration is about as bad as it gets....but I know many Henrico Officers that won't go with the plan. They enforce the laws, no more and no less.
I take my hat of to every one!
Soon, you'll hear about two other Venues and cases that are problems.
