Not a drill folks...

Tomorrow, December 4th, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors meeting will meet at 5pm at 1 Harrison Street in Leesburg, VA at the County Government building to discuss measures to ban hunting/shooting on more private property within Loudoun County.

I wish I had more info, but it sounded like a last minute deal. Message was left on my voicemail tonight and was sent by Chris Anders of the Virginia Constitutional Conservatives (571-306-1227).

Just found this:

We got a similar one quashed in chesapeake. You have to get a lot of people to show up at the hearing. They shelved it for a more opportune time. They used the police 911 time used up for gunshot calls argument.

At least charge the dickhead.  He was shooting with 2 other people.   They played a game of we don't know who pulled the trigger.  Being GS14 may have helped dickhead evade charges.  How can a county seek shooting restrictions when they don't charge a negligent shooter (dude has a history of firearm fuck ups, I had to kick him off my place).

I've never seen his name mentioned anywhere, but yes, he's had other mishaps (not in Loudoun) and one made GD threads years ago.

I’m hearing they are going to push for a rifle ban in the county.  As in, no hunting or target practice with rifles.

It wasn't rifle rounds that dickhead lit up those 3 houses in Aldie with.  As presented, it sounds like that moron could still shoot up other's stuff and probably continue to avoid charges.  Why has the county gone out of their way to protect the reckless and punish all?

I've read the workgroup report and while favorable we need everyone to come out to make sure the board doesn't screw us over anyway.

I'll be there.  I'm on the waiting list to speak.  From their FB Page, Moms Demand Action wants to be there in force to "protect our children from rifles" or some such.  We need gun owners to SHOW UP.

You know it doesnt matter what they used when it comes to politicians. It could have been a .22 from a pistol,  they still want your rifles (first).

It’s mind boggling that Republicans hold a 6-3 majority on the board and we have to put up with this shit.

The Democrat chair they allowed is ignorant.

Basically everything is still at risk because they punted to hide from the public in committee.  Keeping it all alive

From VCDL-

Last night the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors spent HOURS deciding what to do about any new hunting/shooting restrictions.

VCDL had an excellent turnout (thanks!), much higher than the Moms Demand Action group.

I was the 20th speaker out of 25.  Most were pro-gun, but a few were not.

I must say the Chairwoman, Phyllis Randall, seemed a bit disorganized and easily confused.  She stated that she supports the idea of educating people, but had no interest in getting educated herself on guns by going shooting.  Sigh.

The Board approved a motion on producing educational items for gun owners so they understand how to shoot safely and where they can shoot in the County.

They punted on the rest of the items, sending them to another committee for study.  So we'll have to go back at least one more time before this issue is put to bed.  :-(

Here are the items that the Board sent to a committee to study and report back with recommendations:

* moving the current "no shooting" boundary further west
* moving the minimum distance from a road where shooting is allowed from 50 yards to 100 yards
* setting requirements for berms and/or shooting downhill
* requesting a change to state law to remove the requirement for malicious intent in order to prosecute when a bullet hits a house

So, educational materials will be prepared and disseminated by the County, but everything else is headed to a committee for analysis.  Thus, no new restrictions on the horizon YET.  Let's hope it stays that way.

I would like to acknowledge Supervisors Ralph Buona, Suzanne Volpe, Tony Buffington, and Geary Higgins for taking a strong pro-rights position on each of the items considered.
