1. Scott County and August County are now sanctuaries, huge turnouts continue.
There are now 43 sanctuaries in Virginia! VCDL.org has the current list on the main page.
Scott County – a resolution passed unanimously. The hearing room full with overflow.
Augusta County – Sheriff estimated about 1,800 people attended, including overflow outside! Unanimous vote for the resolution. Only 3 people refused a Guns Save Lives sticker.
2. Fluvanna County has delayed their vote until Wednesday, December 11
From member N. Brown:
Tonight we attended the Board of Supervisors meeting here in Fluvanna County, VA. We had a turn out of well over 300 2A supporters show. Early on in the meeting, due to the enormous turnout, the BOS made an announcement that they will hold a special meeting next week, Wednesday, December 11th, 2019. The meeting will be held at Central Elementary School at 6 PM. This meeting will address 2A concerns within Fluvanna County.
3. Suffolk and Albemarle takes no action, even with the massive turnout (650+)
Albemarle County – another huge turnout. 95% of speakers were in favor of a sanctuary resolution. No commitment by Albemarle at this time to move forward with a resolution. However, the message was strong with such a great turnout!
Suffolk – over 650 people attended. Overflowed slightly to outside. Everyone on the City Council made excuses for not taking up a resolution and just told everyone to contact their Delegate and Senator. Time for a new City Council. Everyone from Suffolk should email the Council and tell them something like: if they aren’t supporting citizens’ rights, the citizens won’t be supporting them next election.

Tazewell has taken a very interesting approach – they also have a “militia” ordinance as part of the sanctuary package!
