I found out recently that my concealed carry license was revoked. I guess it never was good.
I was in frankfort on business and decided to check out the capitol building. You could imagine my shock when they told me my CCDW was revoked. I was stunned. I was standing there openly carrying a firearm thinking that there are only a few reasons why my license would be revoked, and most of those reasons would make it illegal for me to carry.
It turns out that they ran my check AFTER I had my CDWL. Two weeks after I had it in my possession. I, thinking the check was already processed, must have took some money out and didn't leave enough to clear the check. So they revoked my license.
They were suppose to send me a letter informing me of all of this. I never received anything from them. Believe me, I would have got this fixed right away.
I have been concealed carrying for almost a year now with an invalid license.
What surprises me the most is that a Virginia officer (Highway patrol or state police) supposedly ran my license a couple of months after I got my it (I was CCing). He told me something along the lines of "everything checks out". I think he has access to our CDWLs. And aren't local officers suppose to seize my permit as soon as it becomes invalid? Surely with all that stink with the sheriff department they would happily take my license away.
So now I am eagerly waiting for the information to arrive by mail so I can get my license back.
Side note, when I went into the capitol (still carrying, openly) and passed a man in a suit who was carrying a revolver (poorly) concealed. As I was checking out the building he followed me (at some distances) through the whole thing. Always keeping me in his sight. We stared at each other for a good ten minutes as I was pointing out to my girlfriend the strange guy standing across the building trying to hide from me while keeping me in his sight. Does this happen often, because it bothered me.
