McAwful has proposed a change to the HB 766, Concealed Handguns, Carrying with a valid Protective Order. Not only does McAwful want the victim to jump through all of the hoops needed to get a CHP, he also wants the victim to complete in person training, a requirement that is greater than that for getting a a regular CHP - insulting to the victim and typical of the asinine thinking of Virginia's Chief Executive.
