I was not sure if I should put this here or in the Firearms section but I do have a rant with this so put it here....
Here's the story....
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/12/22/virginia-to-end-recognizing-concealed-carry-gun-permits-from-25-states.htmlSo VA, which previously had reciprocity for CCP holders from:
Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming
will no longer honor permits from those states. In addition, it means that VA CCP holders will not be able to use those permits in Florida, Louisiana, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Wyoming because those states require a reciprocity agreement to allow permit holders from the other state.
From the article: "John Whitbeck, chairman of the Virginia Republican Party, said Herring's announcement was further proof that Democrats have "declared war on the Second Amendment."
I totally agree with that. In a time when we have seen ample evidence that armed citizens CAN make a difference (Clackamass Mall, Appalachian State Law School) and that death and destruction that comes from Gun Free Zones where the LACK OF armed citizens played into the total body count, anything that further restricts citizens ability to protect themselves is very very dangerous.
Anyway....more political BS from the left placing more and more of us in danger. Of course I already live in a dangerous state (MA) so this is not new to me, sad to say....
