    2020 HB373 pre-filed. To repeal §18.2-283 prohibiting gun carry in houses of worship.

    wow - gun rights bills are so much simpler and shorter in their wording than the legaleze and back flips required to restrict liberty.. "...§ 18.2-283 of the Code of Virginia is repealed. "

    2019 Special Session Bills Starting to Appear

    I totally agree that it's insufficient as stated. The goal would be to address explosive locations, typically industrial venues, where a spark destroys everything. But you're right, if not honed well enough, it would be twisted to still effectively prohibit everywhere.

    2019 Special Session Bills Starting to Appear

    While agreeing that "unrelated" is better verbiage than "unconnected", to me they both still drive a dangerous wedge between carrying and the militia. The 2A admirably affirmed 4 things: 1.) "A well regulated Militia," the right of the people to be well-trained and disciplined as an effective...

    2019 Special Session Bills Starting to Appear

    "The right to keep and bear arms conferred* by Article I, Section 13 of the Constitution of Virginia and the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is an individual right that is unconnected with militia service." Perhaps "...is an individual right that is not dependent upon militia...

    2019 Special Session Bills Starting to Appear

    Nor do those references in HB4001 confer, but rather affirm. As good as any pro rights bill to be vetoed, but if we ever do something all the way, it should be polished first.

    I can give her a handgun but not a certain knife?!

    Guessing that it's getting late in the game to think about what fixes should be considered in next year's session, I fired this off to my 2 reps plus another. Please feel free to chime in or echo with your reps if you agree: § 18.2-309. Furnishing certain weapons to minors; penalty. A. If any...

    Oh, so now DGIF ARE empowered to infringe on our RKBA?!?!

    From VCDL Legislative Update, HB1096 passed into law: Whereas The forestry and park services were able to be challenged on their anti-gun policies based on no authority to restrict carrying, now the VA DGIF has been legislatively given the power to continue to do so, with the addition of: "Such...

    SB608 Phishing License = VA Gun Registry?

    From VCDL Legislative Update: So this disturbs me: Why was the phrase, deleted from the law??!! So let the phishing expeditions begin, as Enforcement seeks to come into possession of as many firearms as possible, be it ever so briefly or auspiciously so that they can run the numbers on (and...

    VA exceptions allowing firearms on VA school buses?

    According to VA code, "B. If any person knowingly possesses any firearm... while such person is upon... (iii) any school bus owned or operated by any such school, he shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony"... ... I thought that having a gun on a school bus in VA was an absolute no-no; but it...

    regarding CHP fees, et al.

    Any permit, licensing, or training hurdles with attached costs, set up by the government between a person and their right to keep and bear arms, should be born by the government, not the individual seeking to exercise their right. If society thinks it's in society's interest to have their govt...

    I hate MD's effective ban on self defense

    Travelling from VA to visit a friend in MD for a few days at his house on his property, I feel like I'm travelling to a hostile, alien world. Taking any handguns with me appears to be too complicated and prohibited. Is the solution to take a bolt action rifle and/or a semi auto shotgun in the...
