I plan to go. I'll be leaving from the Ft Belvoir area and driving up the FFX county parkway to Burke Lake road.
FWIW, I'll be wearing NO VCDL identifiers or OCDO identifiers. Only my .380. I don't want this to be seen as a "retaliation" or "rebuttal" or any other perjorative word the group may want to use against us. I'm an ordinary citizen who wants to hear what is being said.

I want to attend but I have to see how my Monday goes. I'm presently at work upgrading the Oracle database for and applying updates to the client's financial system. So, my Monday may be putting out unexpected fires if we missed something during testing.

Tess, Get off 7100 at rolling and you can take a left onto burke lake road and the library is the next right after the bank of america on the corner. Happy Carrying, Jason Thanks. That helps. I probably would have figured that once I turn on the GPS unit, but it helps me visualize.
So who are the definites for tomorrow? Just me and Mr. Y?
And a couple of possibles?

Sorry, Mr. Y. Forgot to respond.
Health and weather permitting, I'll be taking the motorcycle, which means solo, but indulges one of my passions <grin>. See you there.

Wow, I knew this was in my neck of the woods, but I didn't realize how close this was to my house! I mapped it just now in prep for driving there tonight and it's literally right down the road from where I live!
Tess made a good suggestion about not wearing clothing with gun group affiliated logos. I urge everyone to heed that advice. This is not a VCDL or OCDO sanctioned event. You are a private citizen attending a meeting in the public interest.
Also, everyone needs to be prepared mentally about how to respond to questions from rabid anti's. Keep your cool and answer slowly. Nobody will fault you for taking a few seconds to think about your response.
Why do you feel the need to show up here intimidating us with a handgun at your hip?
I want you to know that I have called the police on my cellphone and they will be arriving shortly!
Handguns only serve one purpose, to kill! When have you felt the need to use your handgun for self defense?
Why can't you let the police handle crime? That's what they are here for.
When responding to some of the sillier comments, don't be afraid to not answer the question. If you are asked something that is so totally weird, be polite and say "That question is irrational, I don't know what kind of response you expect from it" or something along those lines. Sometimes not giving an answer is better than getting drawn into an argument... which is what they will be seeking. All answers should be grounded in fact, not opinion.
Be safe everyone.

Since I have to feed the family on the "before" side, I'd love to go for coffee or icecream or dessert of some type afterward.
If the decision is "before" then I'll probably have to pass. It will be difficult enough to get out of the house by 6:15.

Finally... another moto. I'm thinking that the 2 wheel option would be superior as well.

I've printed out a few copies of BobCav's VA Gun Laws sheets, the statistics Mike presented on gun sales, and some CDC data that the anti's are quoting. IF I have to ask a question, I want to have facts at my fingertips.
Oh, I also printed out the Smoking Guns link from Bob Ricker entry in wikipedia, in which Ed Bradley pointed out he resigned "under pressure" from the NRA.
