From the VCDL newsletter:
You will NEVER know if a Bad Guy has a gun in the car. Yet this dimwit is concerned that cops know about permit holders. Cops need to approach EVERY car stop as though the driver has a firearm, and if the driver is obeying and being calm, process the ticket and leave. I DEFY her to prove how the permit process is a benefit to public safety. Only law-abiding folks BOTHER to get a permit and there are a LOT of people illegally carrying that they will NEVER know about.
Why isn't she concerned about people driving 2-ton cars intoxicated and with suspended licenses? The difference in danger between bad drivers and permit holder is just not on the same level; not even close.
Virginia law requires a permit for concealed carry, but a measure proposed by State Del. Mark Cole, (R-Spotsylvania), would eliminate the permit requirement, making it legal for all gun owners to carry a concealed weapon
Del. Jennifer McClellan, (D-Richmond), vows to vote against Cole's proposal. She said the permit process is a major benefit to public safety within the state.
"If a police officer stops a car, they can run the license plate and they will know if that person has a concealed-weapons permit," McClellan said. "That gives them some information we probably want them to have about whether or not that individual is armed, and that would go away."
