Virginia rescinds ccw restrictions so now we can carry there... I think.

[GoBoilers!]

I just read this this in the news:

Virginia concealed carry reversal catches gun control advocates by surprise

It looks like Virginia is rescinding the rule that did not recognize other states' ccw permits, including Indiana. If that is true, and it sticks, I will be happy! I have a daughter that goes to college in that state, and I drive their often.

Sorry about all the typos. I guess I just got a little too excited about this, and I am only running on one cup of coffee so far.

Thats good news. Now all we need is for gun permits(or licenses) to be like drivers and marriages licenses, excepted everywhere.

Totally agree!!! The ATF does the background check - carry permits should be good in ALL 50 states - including that place to the west of us.

That's why I was so shocked and disbelieving.

I was in DC last week. The big news locally was that the legislature was so upset with the Governor and his AG over this, that they were going to pass Constitutional carry. Veto proof. No permits required.

It was the lead story on the morning news when i got up in my hotel in Manassas last Friday. The legislators were concerned that Virginia residents would not be able to carry in the other States.

Tyranny was opposed. I think that's the rest of the story and the why of the sudden turnabout.

I would certainly love for this to be the case. If there ever was a time to stand up to pure evil political hackery this was the time to do it. **** McAuliffe and his stooge lackey AG.

I have no doubt about what the head of the Virginia legislature was saying on the news Friday morning at 6AM. He was pissed and determined. The story of the Governor's selection is a story of itself. Corruption stinks everywhere.

Okay, that's over.

What concessions did the Virginia Governor propose with Republicans?

Paging Que...

What are your thoughts on the "concessions"?

Erm, no thanks...

It's all smoke and mirrors. Those who are anti-gun will believe something was done to promote "gun safety" and those on our side will believe our rights have been infringed. The politicians will be satisfied and the people will continue to be at each other's throats. It's the American way. The only "concession" I've seen concerns the police at gun shows, but correct me if I'm wrong. Also, it's likely we will come into agreements with additional states, so that's a good thing.

Copied from my other post:
I will admit that requiring state police to attend gun shows could be seen as intrusive and intimidating by those looking for something, but they already attend. Plus, for those who are squeamish about private sales, they can have an officer conduct a check on site and feel better about their purchase or transfer. I don't even see this as a loss, so what is the problem with this?

Some discussion continues in the original thread.

...and thanks for the input Que. I knew you were following it closely.

Looks like VA could be headed for universal concealed carry reciprocity after AG Herring overreach.

McAuliffe reciprocity retreat actually a surrender? « Hot Air

Usually not a grammar Nazi but sometimes words matter. I would prefer our gun permits be Accepted rather than Excepted.
