Kevin Hall, a spokesman for Warner, says the governor would consider limiting the recreational use of firearms if local officials were to ask.

I don't live in Virginia, but I'm curious. Does anyone who lives ther know what the authority (other than martial law statutes, of course) the governor would have to ban the discharge of firearms for recreational purposes? I'm assuming it would be something like the fire emergency we had in Colordo this past summer, but it seems that the justification would have to be entirely different.

Great, thanks fellow Virginians, for electing Mark Warner to the Governorship. Don't look at me -- I did not vote for him, and I did vote.
