Campbell County (Virginia) militia muster announced<\/a><\/p>\n

CAMPBELL COUNTY \u2014 Groups in Campbell and Bedford counties are now organizing militia musters. Organizers said the purpose of their county\u2019s muster is to preserve tranquility, peace, and civil order by organizing volunteers in the event that a militia is required to defend the rights and liberties of the citizens of Campbell County and Bedford County.<\/p>\n

The Campbell County muster is set for noon-2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 29 from 12 p.m. – 2 p.m. at Timbrook Public Library on Leesville Road.<\/p>\n

Three Bedford County citizens including Chad Oaks, Anthony Burke and Scott Sewing came before their county\u2019s board of supervisors at its Jan. 27 regular meeting Monday, asking for the county\u2019s support in forming a militia, entirely comprised of volunteer citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think a county directed, county controlled and county leadership appointed militia is something that would benefit our county at this point,\u201d Sewing said. \u201cI believe that it\u2019s crucial for a citizen to possess the ability to defend themselves. I believe that and I believe that\u2019s what the second amendment represents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, the board approved to become a second amendment sanctuary and not enforce any stricter gun laws that are considered to be unconstitutional. Sewing, a former Marine who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, expressed his gratitude to the board for this.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a part of the group that went to Richmond to stand up for second amendment rights,\u201d Burke said. \u201cWe weren\u2019t heard there, it\u2019s pretty obvious with the laws that keep on passing. I am seeking to get the topic discussed however about forming a militia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burke said that he has already spoken with the sheriff\u2019s office about where everyone stands.<\/p>\n
