simple question: how many gun control laws have been eliminated in the last six years in VA? (i am not trying to be a smart ass. nothing has happened in PA in the last six years)
I'm in California. Wanna trade laws?
Lots. I’ll give you a few years. Keep in mind it’s always incremental change; here is an edited list from VCDL’s website:
2012
- Repeal the local fingerprint requirement for CHP applicants
- Prevent localities from banning firearms in personal vehicles while at work
- Prevent localities from requiring extraneous info on CHP applications
-Prevent gun bans during states of emergency
-Repealed Virginia’s One Handgun a Month rationing scheme
-Allow a CHP to be used as ID for elections
2011
-improve the issuance of new/renewal/replacement CHPs
-Got a law that allows for discharge of air guns on private property legal in all localities as long as reasonable care is taken to keep the projectile on the property.
2010
-Repeal the restaurant ban (can carry in restaurants that serve alcohol - there are no bars per se in VA)
-Allows a CHP renewal to be done through the mail.
2009
- allows localities to be sued for having invalid, preempted ordinances on their books and allows for the recovery of legal fees upon prevailing in court.
-passed a law securing individual CHP holder data from disclosure by the Virginia State Police after several instances of newspapers publishing lists of CHP holders.
For this year, there are a LOT of pro-gun bills in the hopper. Constitutional Carry has already died in committee. Not a big deal in my view: no way in hades Gov. McAwful would agree to it.
The Castle Doctrine law was the first bill Gov. Corbett signed when he became governor three years ago.
Daryl Metcaff has been pushing rollbacks since the Repubs. have retaken the legislature.
Support him.
I drink beer with and belong to the same clubs as my state rep. I talk to mine all the time. We also both ride motorcycles and I see him at events. Lobby, lobby, lobby.
