No worries. Their front door steps are not banned 15 mins before and after the average time they leave for work.

Everyone has a Pattern of Life (POL). Just sayin.

This seems like an attempt at provocation during the gun rights rally that is supposed to take place January 20 at the capitol.

Beware: Author Matt Bracken (Freeper Travis McGee) calls the rally a possible disaster in the making.

The left, including the Virginia government, the MSM, and Antifa, will almost certainly try to turn that rally into an anti-Second Amendment Charlottesville.

"No matter what the (Virginia Citizens Defense League) intends, this fringe element will become the national media image of the entire event."

Here is his thread on the subject from January 7:

Something to consider:

Might be best to follow President Trump's strategy, which is to let them self destruct.

That does not mean sit on a stump and let them do it, but to troll them, needle them, make them so angry that they make utter fools of themselves and lose all credibility.

Example...Pelosi, Schiff, AOC, etc.

The sanctuary jurisdictions are a good start. That has already brought out many asinine statements from the dims and put the mark on several that we did not know of.

Guns terrify them because they are greatly concerned about how american citizens might react in response to what they are planning to do to common citizenry.

So will their capitol security be armed with squirt guns or sling shots?

“Virginia lawmakers have voted to ban firearms at the state Capitol...”

No different than banning speech, the press, assembly and religion. The state cannot arbitrarily cancel constitutional rights, including banning weapons.

Even the most bumbling judge will shoot this stupid fascist crap down.

“And that’s how it starts - only approved guns around the elites.”

The elites in Libya tried that in 2011. They were shoveled into mass graves by the thousands as the provincial militias ignored all the gun laws. And the elites’ armed guards disappeared by the tens of thousands, swallowed up by the desert sand.

...make them so angry that they make utter fools of themselves and lose all credibility.

I have a hunch that CNN's cameras at that rally will not be directed at leftists making fools of themselves. They will be directed at even the slightest hint of real or staged violence, that can be blamed on Trump and conservatives. If there is gunfire, it will be attributed to crazed Second Amendment supporters, even if Antifa actually fires the guns. If someone is shot, it will become a huge campaign issue. "Trump and the NRA wanted for (fill in name) to die!"

The left has been losing to Trump -- and losing, and losing. They badly need a win. The MSM's script for the rally has probably already been written. They want to set us up. We should not let them.

People who feel they must go to that rally should RECORD EVERYTHING on their cell phones.

Just curious how much of a problem shootings are there. Is this a fix for a nonexistent problem....

A delegate accidentally discharged a round into a bulletproof vest, hung on a door. (probably a dry fire accident, no injuries) in 2006.

In 2017, another delegate misplaced his pistol in a conference room for 20 minutes.

I find this FOOLISH action on the part of the DIMocRATS to simply make them LOOK brainless, as carrying concealed in the VA Statehouse has been legal for decades with NO “public safety” problems.
