I remain very optimistic that our General Assembly will not pass the proposed bills. Obviously, if passed, there are many of us willing to challenge these laws through the courts. In addition, if necessary, I plan to properly screen and deputize thousands of our law-abiding citizens to protect their constitutional right to own firearms."
-Sheriff Scott Jenkins
“A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves...and include all men capable of bearing arms.” (1788)
-Richard Henry Lee
There shall be elected by the qualified voters of each county and city a treasurer, a sheriff, an attorney for the Commonwealth, a clerk, who shall be clerk of the court in the office of which deeds are recorded, and a commissioner of revenue. The duties and compensation of such officers shall be prescribed by general law or special act.
The treasurer, the sheriff, the commissioner of the revenue, and the clerk of any circuit court may at the time he qualifies as provided in § 15.2-1522 or thereafter appoint one or more deputies, who may discharge any of the official duties of their principal during his continuance in office, unless it is some duty the performance of which by a deputy is expressly forbidden by law.The deputies may not be removed from office except for the following:
However, an appointed officer shall be removed from office only by the person or authority who appointed him unless he is sentenced for a crime as provided for in § 24.2-231 or is determined to be "mentally incompetent" as provided for in § 24.2-232.Deputies do not need to wear a uniform. The sheriff decides what they may or may not wear.
When the duties of a sheriff or deputy sheriff are such that the wearing of the standard sheriff's uniform would adversely limit the effectiveness of the sheriff's or deputy sheriff's ability to perform his prescribed duties, then clothing appropriate for the duties to be performed may be required by the sheriff.Deputies are to be compensated for expenses, but there is no guarantee.
The part-time deputies of sheriffs shall not receive fixed salaries, but shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation for their services and allowances for their expenses, to be determined and paid as hereinafter provided.The law enforcement training is not required, if the deputy is not a full time deputy.
Any full-time deputy sheriff not employed on July 1, 1971, shall successfully complete a course of instruction established by the Department of Criminal Justice Services as provided in clause (i) of subdivision 2 of § 9.1-102.
The counter is for the General Assembly to take power from the Sheriffs. In their new bill banning guns at the state Capitol, they forbid the carry of guns by part time law enforcement.
If Sheriff Jenkins would deputize someone from another county I sure would accept.
Virginia has a governor willing to kill healthy babies born alive. Is there any vile, despotic thing such a person will NOT do?
“In a combination of gerrymandering mandated by the Federal courts, millions of dollars spent on a few local races by billionaires who hate the idea of an armed population, targeted advertising, organization by sympathizers of the Chinese communists, and apathy by the rest of Virginia voters...the Democrats have taken control of the Governorship and both the General assembly and the Virginia Senate”
PLUS Conservatives there sitting out elections to ‘teach the GOP a lesson’ for running people who don’t meet their ‘purity’ test.
(just needed this for completion)
By making the capitol a :gun free” zone, the dims are exposing themselves to the very thing they fear most.
Dims are aptly named.
Their jackass is the perfect icon.
The CRIMINAL STATE can know everything about you even the last time you wiped your butt, yet we can know NOTHING about them?
READY-AIM-DOXX
“...making the capitol a :gun free” zone,”
Yep, a “no citizens with guns” buffer around DC is the goal.
Why?
For those able to attend, this is a last minute update on bills being considered Monday: https://mailchi.mp/aa56b1ac067f/va-alerthere-are-the-bills-coming-up-on-monday-11320?e=2dba32cec3
I still go back to my solution which is for the 90 percent of Virginia containing our people, they join with West Virginia. This doesn’t take anything away from the liberals- they can retain their own crackpot state consisting of Northern VA and a corridor to Richmond and the Tidewater cities. The liberals consolidate their hold on the two VA senate seats, gain the governorship and legislature in perpetuity and the new state doesn’t gain any more political power (there are still two senators) other than WVA goes from five to prob. eleven electoral votes.
We Virginians will not relinquish our state to mexicans, yankees, illegals, whatever. I don't know the exact number but about 95% of Virginia counties are second amendment sanctuarys.
The biggest lesson here is that our Sheriffs are our best protetors. Sheiffs are part of us, part of our people. I will trust a Sheriff before any other LEO.
“PLUS Conservatives there sitting out elections to ‘teach the GOP a lesson’ for running people who don’t meet their ‘purity’ test.”

This point cannot be emphasized nor repeated often enough. These so-called “conservatives” are far, FAR worse than any Liberal.
“These so-called “conservatives” are far, FAR worse than any Liberal.”
I don’t think the conservatives who sit out November elections due to their dislike of particular Republican candidates are worse than Liberal voters. In my opinion, they just think short-term, and want those particuar a-hole Republicans out of the way (think how much easier life would have been for us if McCain never made it out North Vietnam).
The problem is that they often don’t realize that the Democrats today are far different than the Democrats they’re used to from the past, particularly in rural areas.
So they assume dumping a crappy Republican for an untested Democrat won’t be very bad, and that they’ll be able to ‘educate’ the Democrat to stand by the voters of that district (and usually the Democrat ‘promises’ just that, to get elected). The problem is, of course, when people like Bloomberg and Soros finance these Democrats - guess who they are going to answer to?
“Over the long term, elections and courts may resolve the issue.”
Or miles of barbed wire and innumerable lampposts (one per traitor).
Not advocating violence, but the way this is heading, do you THINK for a moment Blackface Northam, Bloomberg’s minions, progressives at large are JUST after guns?
This won’t end well if they persist. We all know it, they’re planning on it (budgeting for increased incarceration, for example).
We should be planning too.
We are hiring you for a part time ( on call) deputy’s position pay is $1 a year.
If Virginia manages to usurp all the Sheriffs, the People will become woke enough to understand exactly what subjugation is and perhaps see the need to fight back...because there will be blood spilled for them to have their way.
I’ll take it.
Good Call.
