How’s this? If you have your firearms taken by the authorities in VA, that’s considered a civil matter. Not criminal. You do not have the right to legal counsel in order to try to get back your firearms. So if you can’t afford an attorney, you will not have one provided for you. It’s up to you to go against the prosecutors and attorneys of the state. It’s only a constitutional right… to keep and bear arms. I know you won’t care but this is an effect of the law.
