RICHMOND â Attorney General Mark R. Herring (D) plans to announce Tuesday that Virginia will no longer recognize concealed carry handgun permits from 25 states that have reciprocity agreements with the commonwealth.
The move also means Virginians with a history of stalking, drug dealing or inpatient mental-health treatment cannot obtain a permit in a state with comparatively lax laws and carry a handgun legally at home.
Herring said severing the out-of-state agreements can prevent people who may be dangerous or irresponsible from carrying a concealed weapon.
âTo me, this is a commonsense step that can help make Virginians and our law enforcement officers safer by ensuring that Virginiaâs laws on who can and cannot carry a concealed handgun are applied evenly, consistently, and fairly,â he said in a statement provided to The Washington Post.
âOur 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.â

My apologies from the Peoples Proletariat of Virginia. McAuliffe and his crony comrades have been an embarrassment to us since the election and now the world is beginning to understand why.
Personally, I’m thinking this is just part of the orchestrated nationwide Obama gun grabber plan. As such, this is just the beginning as they go full Alinsky.
Step 1 - Divide and conquer.
(Gotta post and run. Freep on and Merry Christmas!)
We're still winning...
Let me get this straight, This will make Virginians and their law enforcement officers safer by ensuring that Virginias laws on who can and cannot carry a concealed handgun are applied evenly, consistently, and fairly to other states.
So he pretty much is saying that that the other states CCW holders are criminals.
Scr*w these Leftist control freaks. I note all of them have a (D) after their sh*t bird names.
Yep the bitter administration with no power pleads for attention again. Pathetic losers. Whats next changing the Virginia state name ? I dont think this will get very far. The group in Richmond is truly looney and butt hurt. lol
Looks like they declared that dems cant carry guns. lol
Yes, but Herring saying this means nothing and is for show. We have a right to keep arms. The guy like McAwful is an idiot.
I dont think he has the power to do this. He shouldnt have if he does. Just like Mcawful shouldnt have the power to stop the confederate plates. They passed legislation. The gutless gop will remain silent on this too ? Virginia doesnt have a king. A GOp spokesman should come out and tell them to go F themselves. But they wont.
They probably dont care. Hate to say it, they just want more liberals to move into the state so they can win more elections. The dems and Gope are trash and conspire to keep control of the money, all they care about.
Herring didnt even win as you say. They stoled it in Fairfax.
Yep the Gope sucks in Virginia. Never a peep from the wolfs in sheep clothing.
I suspect the Democrats figured that was an attractive feature of the plan. They want people dependent on the politicians and bureaucrats.
Don't you just love these control freaks?
As I have posted before, McAwful and posse ran on a strategy that unmarried young women think with their private parts as much as do young men; the campaign was “all abortion, all of the time.” That strategy turned out to be correct. It also helped that the GOP was not-too-subtly supporting the Democrat rather than the conservative Ken Cuccinelli.
Elections have consequences, and the consequence for Virginia is that the two prime political figures are a kleptocrat and a collectivist marxist who has publicly declared his contempt for the law, despite being the chief law enforcement officer in the state.
I am finding that my conclusions about the colapse and eventual partitioning of the former USA have been far too optimistic.

Thanks, Old Sarge.
Mcauliffe taking orders from ohole..
My trips to VA/MD are limited to company business and always in a company paid rental car. I wouldn't drive my personal car in VA. I don't need the harassment.

I completely agree. The Dems want to kill as much recipocity as possible.
They can run my plates til the cows come home and they won’t discover I have a CCW.
That’s because our Sheriff doesn’t share that information with anybody.
My wife lived in another county when she got her CCW, so the cops inquire when she’s stopped.
Idaho CCW and driver’s license carry the same number. My wife is a police dispatcher. She informs her officers of ccw status on a traffic stop. Not usually a problem.
