Training classes alone aren't enough to make a felony, but I'd bet a training class plus a Boogaloo meme on your Twitter would be plenty for them to bring charges under this insanity. They know exactly what they are doing.

It’s crazy, but practically unenforceable.

Each requires they prove “intent”.

Intent “that such training will be employed for use in, or in furtherance of, a civil disorder.”

Intent to “intimidate”

Good luck proving either one of those things.

when we started Appleseed in 2006, we had cops sniffing around at the Ramseur range Appleseeds.  They were easy to spot: plainclothes, buzzcuts, black Ray-Bans, policed mooostaches, stern faces, kept asking about "we're here for the militia training. Tell us what you're teaching here. How are we gonna overthrow the government?"  Never brought their rifles to the line, just observed and left after a few hours.  But when asked, they denied they were cops.

Incredibly unconstitutional.  It'll only be enforced and destroy lives for 15 years before SCOTUS can hopefully overturn it.

I think leftists are realizing that they can just flood the system with unconstitutional laws. They can pass them 100 times faster than the courts can overturn them.

How so?

The left thinks that anybody who is open carrying is doing so to intimidate them.

The wording of the law makes it open to interpretation and FEELINGS.

Negative.....They are listening and do not like what they are hearing when it comes to folks referencing Virginia's Article 1 #13 of the Virginia Bill of Rights.

Article I. Bill of Rights

Section 13. Militia; standing armies; military subordinate to civil power

That a well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state, therefore, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed......


The dems believe if they can pull the teeth of those who they see as trainers of militia it will somehow negate Article 1 #13 and that somehow the state controls the formation of citizen (the people) militias.

the ironic thing here is this woman saw first hand what Democrats under Byrd were pulling on Virginians during massive resistance. Here she is, with her wallet padded, on the other side of the fence ready to stomp on the constitution to keep the little people in their place. It would be a shame if her many businesses were picketed.

Born Lillie Louise Boone Lucas on January 20, 1944 in Portsmouth, Virginia, Lucas attended the Portsmouth Public School System, including during their shutdown during Massive Resistance... She is President/CEO of Lucas Lodge, Lucas Transportation, Portsmouth Day Support Program and Southside Direct Care Provider organizations operating in The Lucas Professional Center located in Portsmouth. Economic development is Senator Lucas’ passion and she remains unwavering in her determination to build a hotel. ...Senator Lucas is the mother of two daughters, Lisa L.

We need to be getting state constitutional amendments on the ballot:

“The state shall be liable for all attorney’s fees, court costs, and all other legal costs associated with any arrest, trial, or civil proceeding in which the state is a party and the state does not prevail, does not bring a matter to trial, or if the case is dismissed with or without prejudice.”

The first two clauses of this are already on the books in VA.

The only new thing is the prohibition on parading with intent to intimidate.  This is an open carry ban.  If someone feels scared when they see a gun they'll call you in for a felony stop.
