Play Video Virginia Democratic Del. Dan Helmer filed a bill Wednesday that would give the commonwealth’s attorney general, Mark Herring, discretion over which states’ carry permits Virginia would continue to recognize.
Virginia’s current concealed carry reciprocity law recognizes every out-of-state concealed carry license, but the new proposal from Helmer could limit the number of out-of-state concealed carry permits Virginia recognizes if Herring deems their carry permit requirements insufficient.
“This is certainly more restrictive than the current process, which recognizes everyone's permit. He can start saying, well, for this reason or that reason, I'm not going to recognize their permit now,” Virginia lawyer George Lyon of Arsenal Attorneys told the Washington Examiner.
Lyon noted, ”There are provisions where people can be denied a permit. For example, if they've had a stalking conviction or if they've had a drug conviction or possibly multiple DUI convictions.”
Virginia is home to the headquarters for the National Rifle Association. The legislature flipped from Republican to Democrat after the 2019 election.
The state's concealed carry reciprocity law was briefly tinkered with in 2015, after the then-Republican majority General Assembly found itself in a grudge match with Herring over firearms-related issues.
When Republicans initially refused to budge over passing two specific measures, Herring ceased concealed carry reciprocity agreements Virginia had with the 25 states. Six of these states, which had recognized Virginia's concealed carry permit on the condition that the commonwealth recognize their concealed carry licenses, severed their agreements with Virginia as well.
Republicans and Democrats came to a compromise on the measures, one associated with domestic violence and protective orders and the other related to state police being stationed at gun shows for background checks of private sellers. Herring restored not just the original reciprocity agreements but ensured reciprocity pacts with every...

Methinks this is what could finally get the Supremes off of their duffs since it involves interstate agreements...
Other nearby states need to arrest and remove anyone with a Virginia driver’s license.
Fat chance.

I do not think the Supremes can just get off their duffs over this. First a case with all this latest VA anti gun crap needs to be properly brought before the Supreme Court.
Before that can happen, all the proposed legislation needs to actually be legislated and signed into law, then taken to court where it might wind up in that higher court.
I have a feeling much of this will not be enacted as it will severely impact the 2020 elections nationwide. That’s why I’m, hoping these idiots actually enact all of it. It would be a gift just as good as the current impeachment efforts. Then the Supremes would crush it with whatever appeals are brought forward.
That will force the hangers-on to get a real job or move away.
Plus, the 50 percent that remain will be incentivized to do whatever useful work there is to be done moving paperwork around.
“Other nearby states need to arrest and remove anyone with a Virginia driver’s license.”
Driver’s License cane be construed as a may-issue, control state’s rights issue.
Marriage “License” is an abomination and should have nothing to do with state government.
Blatant infringement by one state on Citizens 2nd Amendment guaranteed government neutrality is ripe for SCOTUS to finally speak on this issue.
The CRIMINAL STATE can know everything about you...even the last time you wiped your butt, yet we can know NOTHING about them?

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set,” Obama said. “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

That evil man and his phony news group should be stopped .
Since the state is disposing with the Constitution, let’s make being a Democrat a capital offense. Wouldn’t that be a giggle?
Article I, Section 9
Virginia is also an open carry state. However, the proposed vehicle (car, boat, RV, etc) transport law says only CHP holders can carry in their cars. All others have to lock their weapons out of reach of the vehicle’s occupants, effectively canceling open carry.
VA’s new government is going to be a talking point in the national election - most especially if the D ticket has Bloomberg on it.Democrats are the ones pushing gun confiscation and, by and large, Republican gun owners aren’t the problem.
The solution is obvious - outlaw Democrats' gun possession.
Republicans wouldn’t have to oppose that, and Democrats claim to want it.
Democrats could do that without legislation - just kick all gun owners out of the party.
