I just got home from the Nation's Gun Show in Chantilly, VA. As I was wandering, there was a table set up with political signs and a fellow wearing a shirt that said "Dick Heller 1, Washington DC 0".
I thought to myself, "He looks familiar..." before I jerked and realized it wasn't a guy in a Dick Heller shirt, it was Dick Heller himself in a Dick Heller shirt! I did a rapid 180 and went back.
He was at the table for Vern McKinley, who is campaigning for VA Congressional District 10. He introduced himself and I shook his hand with an emphatic "Thank you!". He talked a little about the DC gun ban, asked where I was from and I told him, "Maryland.". He replied, "I'm sorry.". I agreed with that, saying things were tough here.
To which he responded, "At least until June." with a grin.
It was a busy show so I didn't spend a lot of time talking to him. But he was very friendly and down to earth. He gave me a form to make a campaign contribution for Mr. McKinley, shook my hand again and wished me well.
Very nice fellow. It was worth the price of admission just to shake this man's hand.
Update: Originally reported that Vern McKinley was from VA District 30. He's in the 10th District. Fixed.

Thank you for thanking him, we in CA especially need the kind of help that this hopefully will produce.
Cool!
I missed out. Been waiting on the Fredericksburg gun show at the end of this month.
Better wrap that hand in plastic and never wash it!
Hi, I just wanted to say that Vern McKinley is campaigning for Virginia's 10th district and not the 30th as listed in the original post. I am sure it was just a typo. Have a great day everyone!!
