What I saw was the lowest turnout I have ever seen for Lobby Day since I moved to VA in 2005.
With an estimated 300,000+ CHP holders, 1,000,000+ firearm owners, 8000+ VCDL members, 12,000+ VA alerts subscribers, 12,000+ VAGT posters the numbers of folks attending Lobby Day is well sad, to say the least.
An estimated 400 freedom loving gun supporters carried the weight of all those that choose not to (not couldn't) attend.
I did see the folks I always expect to see at these events. That was reason enough for me to make sure I attended, as I'd hate for them to be standing their by themselves. The fight is not only about fighting against/ supporting the bills but to support your friends.
While we may differ on minor details of many issues we are all in this together, like it or not.
My oldest daughter attended Lobby Day with me for the first time, she was surprised she wasn't bored.
