Did the news/media crew show up and record the event?
Would be nice if local news picked up on this.

Thanks to all for a really great effort - never to much positive PR.

RT showed up. They interviewed me and my wife last night. I also took them to a range where they recorded me shooting my daily carry handgun and some of my Title III and II firearms. (Uzi SMG, M-4 shorty and a Suppressed Camp Carbine.)

The reporter was very nice and pro-2A. She wanted to talk about militias and I told her that militia activity was illegal in Virginia.

A photographer from the Virginia Pilot showed up and asked for an interview later this week. I'll post the results.

TJ took a ton of pictures and will post them ASAP!

Advil is your friend

Had a good time working with everybody. My body doesn't necessarily like me right now. :)

After a short nap I still feel wiped out. Thankfully the weather was perfect for this endeavor and it was fun seeing what weird thing we would find next.

Shoes, pants, sweatpants, deer skull, flip flops, desk drawers, pool noodle, fishing pole, diapers.... (of course a gazillion beer bottles, wine bottles, whiskey bottles, beer/soda cans)

Surprisingly I didn't see any wildlife.

No problem, I'll make sure it stays up. I didn't do much post processing... a little unsharp mask and a small Curves manipulation. You can have the raw file if you'd like.

BTW ODA, I'm a big fan of your Son's hair lol
