Hey everyone,

With all the noise in Virginia politics lately, now is the time for gun owners across the state to show up and be heard. I’ll be heading to Richmond for Lobby Day on January 19th and wanted to see who else is planning to make the trip.
Back in 2020, we had unbelievable support…not just from Virginians, but from friends all over the country who traveled in to stand with us. That kind of unity made a statement that still gets talked about today. But this year? We can’t rely on outsiders to carry the weight for us. Virginia gun owners need to show up in force.

Whether you're from NOVA, Hampton Roads, the Valley, SWVA, or anywhere in between, your presence matters. Bring a buddy, carpool, spread the word, and MOST importantly….SHOW UP.

This isn’t about one group, one organization, or one county. It’s about standing together and reminding our representatives that the 2A community in Virginia is active, engaged, and paying attention.

So who’s going?
Where are you coming from?
Anyone organizing carpools or meet-ups?
Let’s get a headcount going and build some momentum. January will be here before we know it, let’s make this the strongest turnout yet.

Being over SHOT show keeps a lot of industry guys from going…

Bump. I’m going to keep bumping this several times a day to get more visibility.

I plan to go, same as 2020.  

I am sure VCDL is working on the logistics.

I'll be there.  Hopefully it is a tad warmer than that day in 2020...

I'll be there... I've already mentioned Lobby Day to other friends, deer hunting buddies, etc... and we need to stand together and make our voice heard - just like the incredible Lobby Day 2020!

I'm trying to get my adult children to go.

I don't think we'll see 2020 numbers.

Virginians are lazy.

Yes I agree. Hence the reason we’re in this mess. Virginia gun owners didn’t show up when it mattered (the polls), now we need to make sure they show up.

I was at Lobby Day 2020 and stayed outside.

But don't people go into the capitol and talk to legislators? It is not clear to me from the VCDL Schedule when that happens and how any of us get to talk to our representatives.

In 2020 I stayed outside with my tens of thousands of friends, but all of the prior years that I participated, I went inside and spoke with my and other legislators.  That's been the focus of VCDL because, well, they're a lobbying organization.

Will we be going in as a group? How do we get on the schedule? Is there a schedule? How much time can I get with my rep or any other?
