Well, if comes down to it, there are a total of 7,500 national guard members in VA.
Al least half of those won't betray their country, so that brings us down to a measley 3,500 Benedict Arnolds, at most.
Meanwhile,.Virginia is the 5th most-armed state in the US with the last count I could find (pre-Christmas orders) at 307, 822 guns in the hands of its citizens.
Oh, and don't forget about backup from neighboring states. The Blue Mountain boys always love a good target practice. ;)
There are a further 2,118 State Police, as well as 340 independent law enforcement agencies across Virginia, with a total of 23,000 sworn police officers.
This comes out to 293 officers for every 100,000 residents. And 1/3 of the population owns guns, many of them multiple firearms. Most, actually, if you go by the stats.
So that would put us at about 300 military/paramilitary per 33,000 armed citizens across Virginia. The armories are spread out, about 400 of them.
Thing is, they'll pick the gun owners off one at a time. Being independent minded is great but prickly personalities are at a disadvantage facing an organized mass.

The numbers don't look good for the governor.
