1. Nova Armament Grand Opening Saturday 10AM
Nova Armament in Herndon, VA is opening on Saturday. Several VGOF'ers are planning to be there if the weather holds out. The VGOF Meet and Greet is scheduled for 11am followed by lunch at a local establishment.
Street Address is: 795 Center Street #4A Herndon, VA 20170.
There is plenty of parking behind the store, and there is some street parking as well.
There's a nice Indian Restaurant called Aoga (or something like that) next to Zefirelli's, there's also a Greek place with a sports bar that's off of Lynn Street, there's also a nice Mexican place called the Tortilla Factory in the Bestway Shopping Center. Herndon has a nice selection of restaurants.
They will have coffee provided by the fine folks of Ashland Coffee and Tea, as well as some donuts.

2. VA General Assembly Defeats Anti-Gun Bill
As reported by NRA-ILA:
On Tuesday, January 26 the Virginia Senate Local Government Committee defeated Senate Bill 268 by a vote of 9 to 6.
Sponsored by State Senator Mary Margaret Whipple (D-31), SB268 would have gutted Virginia's preemption law by allowing local governments to ban the possession of firearms on property owned or leased by the locality. It would have also applied to access roads and parking areas for those facilities.
If passed, law-abiding gun owners from all over the Commonwealth would have been caught in a patchwork of conflicting local ordinances where possession of a firearm may be legal in Rockingham, Henrico or Fairfax but prohibited in Virginia Beach, Norfolk or Arlington. SB268’s defeat will protect Virginia's preemption law and ensure that gun owners from every corner of the Commonwealth are treated equally under the law.
