Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

Remember the protest of Falls Church Mayor Robin Gardner by the VCDL last month? Well the Falls Church Times has a new opinion piece labeling the VCDL protesters who carried firearms as "nuts".

http://fallschurchtimes.com/2009/11/10/ ... e-reports/

Interestingly, he does not view Virginia Citizens Defense League President Philip Van Cleave as a "nut" because he wore a suit and no gun. I don't know, but I assumed Philip Van Cleave was CCing.

Heres my comment to mr southern:

Mr Southern, I guess you think anyone exercising their Constitutional rights is a nut. Hmmm. That must make you one too. The only difference between me and you is 1. Why do I say that? Well, you choose to exercise Amendment 1 and I choose to exercise Amendment 2. Also, I refer you to VA code. Open carry of firearms is legal in most (emphasize most) areas of Virginia. Also, Mr Van Cleave was most likely carrying concealed. You dont think he would be in a room full of nuts without a gun do you?

DK - did you see that he responded back to your post?

That was the only one he responded to, cause it was an easy shot to further his anti views .

It was bait and he swallowed. Here's my response:

Mr Southern: It seems someone has changed the rules concerning the FC courthouse and for purposes of a city council meeting the name is changed. You’ll have to ask someone else about that. One thing is for certain and that is VCDL supporters and members attending meetings while carrying a gun check beforehand to ensure that it is legal to do so. As a gun owner and VCDL member I take pride in being a law-abiding citizen. You should also know that law-abiding gun owners either turn away from or disarm themselves before entering a venue where carrying a gun is illegal. Criminals of course ignore the law and do as they please. Most of us also have CHPs which means we have passed a background check, do not have a felony criminal record, and found to be trustworthy by a judge to carry a concealed handgun. Regarding churches I point out that it is not illegal to carry in church with “good and sufficient reason.” The recent rash of shootings by criminals easily justifies the law abiding citizen the right to protect themselves under VA code as they and their loved ones worship or move about in their daily lives. I still think the question stands and I’ll pose it more direct: As a journalist and someone who obviously supports the 1st Amendment why do you speak out against those who choose to legally exercise the 2nd Amendment? As a last note, if we collectively restrict or abolish 2nd Amendment rights, what is to stop the same from happening to other Amendments in the Bill of Rights?

Well Represented DK!
