Virginia GOP'ers returned fire over the state Democrat Attorney General Mark Herring's move to halt recognition of concealed carry permits from 25 different states.
Our General Assembly has already identified who can and cannot conceal handguns in Virginia, and we cannot have that decision undermined by recognizing permits from other states with more permissive standards, Herring said when he made the announcement last week.
Republican state legislators could strip Virginia Democrat Governor Terry McAuliffe of his protective detail. Virginia Sen. Bill Carrico told The Herald Courier last Tuesday he plans to propose a budget amendment during the State Senate's January Session that would defund the governor's protective detail.

Virginia will stop recognizing the 25 out-of-state concealed carry permits on February 1. Some states that border the commonwealth will affect specific cities, like Bristol, which Virginia shares with Tennessee, a state whose permit will no longer be honored in the Old Dominion..
Residents of Bristol say it is unfair that they become criminals as a result of crossing a street in town, because their permit is no good in Virginia anymore.
I think it is a crock, Virginia resident Ted Culberson said. I think this is a political play that will have a greater impact on Bristol, Tennessee residents than Virginia residents.

The General Assembly needs to think how they can hurt the Rat agenda through the budget process and attack where the pain would be greatest.
Talk is cheap.

I kind of get paranoid about that now when in the ‘wrong’ states ...(seems we can carry where not ‘needed’ but where we may need them we can’t have them-—well that is the intent).
I had heard that on the stretch of Route US 50 through West Virginia there is about a 10 mile or so stretch that goes through Maryland and the MD police had taken to stopping VA and WV vehicles to ‘check them out’...
Was so bad for a while that VA attempted to pass legislature to stop the state from ‘sharing’ the list for cases like this ...
Proof that well laid plans bear fruit.
I agree. The immigrants in Northern Virginia are staunch Democrats.
I won’t spend a penny in Virginia until they fix this problem. There are other places to vacation in.
to be charitable:
republicans, all bark no bite.
less charitable:
just feeding people a line of bs.
