Not yet - WV still has to approve it, and of course there will be a hell of a fight for Virginia to turn loose of us and let us go... and then the individual jurisdictions currently in VA will have to pass it independently as well. It's gonna be an uphill battle, but one I'm willing to fight. VA should be more than happy to let us go, considering that most of VA is willing to light up VA if they try to infringe our rights - and it looks like they're hell bent for leather intent on doing so - but you know how folks with power, and especially totalitarians with power, are. It irks the hell out of them to let their constituency go, because who will they exercise their authoritarianism over if they do?
They would be left sitting on their ass in the middle of nothing, wondering what just happened... mere tyrants in a teapot.
Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
