  • It's being reported on the vcdl Facebook page that all of the parking reservations for all of the parking garages and lots around the State House area have canceled all the reservations and will not be open for parking. It also might be true that they are not allowing any street parking. They are trying very hard to keep people from attending this rally. Keeping in mind that Monday would normally be a holiday in those parking lots wouldn't have many people parking in them they sure are going to be losing a lot of Revenue... Or someone is compensating them

    Just posted this in one of the other threads. I'm driving there Sunday and staying in a nearby hotel. I called the hotel and confirmed that they would have parking available (at least Sunday night anyway.)
     
    Unbelievable. Everyone is against our freedom. This is nuts. We are being pegged as Nazis

    Personally I believe it's a setup. They're putting up a fence inside of another fence which looks more like a cage to me. They're allowing other groups to Rally along with the pro 2nd Amendment people including antifa. I know antifa has claimed in the past that they are pro-second Amendment however mixing the two groups together seems to me like gasoline and a match. The governor creates a fake crisis and using an executive order breaks the law and bans firearms on the capitol grounds coincidentally during the days that the rally takes place. And now mysteriously all of the parking garages and lots are no longer available for parking for rally attendees. Frankly I think Northam and his sycophants are attempting to bait an altercation. And unfortunately I think he's going to get what he's seeking. The only thing I have to say is if such an altercation occurs and grows out of hand that it be taken inside and any Democrats stupid enough to attend get drug outside and get what they deserve
     
    I suggested on their Facebook page that they contact one of the Republican members of Congress from the state of Virginia and attempt to let Trump know what's going on and see if he will authorized parking on the federal property in Richmond since everything will be closed

    From VCDL’s Facebook page


    IMPORTANT REQUEST: We need 10,000 patriots to fill the Capitol grounds for Monday's rally!

    Unfortunately, the Virginia Supreme Court just said they did not have enough information on the stay denied by the lower court to issue their own stay, so the Governor's illegal gun-ban on Capitol grounds is going to stand for this event.

    Here is what we need to do on Monday to make the rally a success:

    DETAILS:
    VCDL needs at least 10,000 members/gun owners to commit to "taking one for the team'" by entering the Capitol grounds unarmed around 10 am and being in place for the rally by 10:45 am. Those who were lobbying will already be unarmed, so we urge them to be part of the 10,000 inside the fencing. NOTE: knives with folding metal blades less than 3-inches long are ARE permitted both in the General Assembly AND on the Capitol grounds.
    For every one gun owner on the Capitol grounds, we need another two to five people outside the Capitol grounds's fence on 9th Street. Those doing so can be legally armed.
    If you can commit to being one of our needed 10,000 unarmed members inside the fence, please help us by asking several of your family and friends to be your designated armed escort to the gates and to stand outside the fenced area to watch over us.

    WHY:

    We are separating our responsibilities, in this otherwise untenable and unconstitutional situation foisted on gun owners by Northam. Gun owners standing, both inside and outside of the fence, ensure that the Capitol grounds and the surrounding area is filled to capacity to hear our speakers and it will make a great visual for the cameras!

    For those who are going to be on the Capitol grounds, the less items you bring along, the quicker and more efficient the screening.

    VCDL will have loudspeakers so that those outside the fence will be able to hear. The event will also be broadcast live on WRVA radio, 1140 AM /96.1 FM.

    IMPORTANT:

    We ask everyone to follow the temporary Capitol grounds rules. There is NO need for an act of civil disobedience to achieve standing for a court fight. We already have standing.

    We still will have our day in court to fully debate the governor's unconstitutional overreach in just a few short weeks.

    Thank you very much for your support and understanding. The Governor and his cronies would like nothing better than to see the Capitol grounds empty, with the speakers talking only to themselves. We simply cannot let that happen.

    PLEASE CHOOSE ONE:

    Arrive temporarily UNARMED and go INSIDE the fenced area on the Capitol grounds or
    Stand with us, LEGALLY ARMED if you so choose, just OUTSIDE the fence and watch over your brothers and sisters inside the fence
    Either way, we'll see you there!

    FINAL NOTE:

    Monday is going to be a day of lobbying, with a peaceful rally. All law-abiding citizens are invited. The Capitol, State, and Richmond police forces will be providing strong security. We thank them in advance for helping make sue that the event is a safe and fun event.

    Thank you. PVC

    If they can get Pro-2A and Antifa as the same they win . All of the people i know in the Gun Community reject everything Antifa stands for but if they can link it they will run with it .


    The liberals are leaps and bounds ahead of their message , they are better at the message . They also have the media to expand and report in a way that favors them .
    I am so busy at work but i would go if i had nothing to do Monday , but you would never catch me in that fenced in area with limited area to retreat and no great way to escape . One loud bang from a car/truck will get the running of the bulls IMHO

    Has the parking situation been confirmed, other than the VCDL Facebook page and, if so, is anyone familiar with the area that could recommend another site for parking?

    I'll check it out on a map and see where it is. I was half a$$ looking at locations last night, online, to see if I could find a parking location and ride a mountain bike in.
