Hundreds Gather for Concerned Gun Owners of Bucks County Meeting
It was standing-room only at the VFW Post on Louis Drive in Warminster Tuesday evening for the Concerned Gun Owners of Bucks County Meeting.
Hundreds turned out for the second Concerned Gun Owners of Bucks County meeting. For many, it was their first exposure to the group.
Several notable Bucks County officials were in attendance at the meeting, including District Attorney David Heckler, Prothonotary Patricia Bachtle and Sheriff Edward Donnelly.
Meeting leader Steve Onufrey said the group was born around a kitchen table by a group of friends talking about the reaction to Sandy Hook.
