The 2019-2020 Second Amendment Sanctuary movement drew such large crowds at local government meetings that many localities had to move the meetings to school gymnasiums.  There were overflow crowds outside, with thousands of residents demanding that their localities protect them from state government overreach.

1. Virginia is a large state with almost 200 localities, so VCDL is counting on you and gun owners in your area to contact their local government representatives (members of the Board of Supervisors, town council, or city council) and urge them to pass a resolution reaffirming the locality’s Second Amendment Sanctuary status. If they want a model resolution, contact me and I can provide one.
   
   
2. Better yet, attend and speak at the next local government meeting, as time is short before the General Assembly starts around mid-January! Email me (president@vcdl.org) to let me know where and when the meeting is going to be held and I will put out a VA-ALERT to get other local gun owners to that meeting. Let’s pack the room – that worked wonders in 2020! If your local government refuses to be a sanctuary, let me know that, too.
   
   
3. Contact your local sheriff and urge him to speak in support of the Second Amendment Sanctuaries at the local government meeting.
   
   
4. Contact your local Commonwealth Attorney and urge him or her not to enforce unconstitutional gun control.
   
   
5. If you are a member of a hunt club, a shooting club, a church or synagogue, frequent a shooting range, are an FFL, etc., spread the word, just like we did in 2020! We want legislators to know that gun control is a third rail, best left untouched.
