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.

The numbers don't look good for the governor.
