This is from 2020 when VA's state legislature was going full retard on the gun law and Northam was willing to sign anything because he wanted to keep his job after the KKK/Blackface yearbook photo scandal. A friend of mine in state actually drove to Richmond to protest what was going on.
I haven't kept up with what has happened since but if I were a betting man, Prince William County, Fauquier County, and Stafford County are more suspect now. Since you're saying Shenandoah River Valley counties, then yeah maybe you're safe, for now. Virginia's state police is pretty centralized and will get involved in county business if directed too. If VA gets Jay Jones as the new AG, everyone of these counties will get sued for noncompliance. If you really want to roll the dice and choose to live in the sticks, you might as well move to West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, or even Ohio. The only reason to consider where you're thinking is if you need to commute the cities for work occasionally (don't do it daily, you'll hate your life).
I know I come across as pessimistic but my time in California taught me it doesn't take much to turn a state into a leftist authoritarian shit hole. Virginia is going to be the new Massachusetts if the Democrats win. I hope this was helpful.
