Shredding most of Virginia’s reciprocity agreements
We know that yesterday Administration officials told us they were coordinating with state officials to see how many ways gun owners could be screwed over.
Well, the first shoe to drop seems to be by shredding most of Virginia’s reciprocity agreements, including with Pennsylvania. After the Democratic Attorney General Mark Herring closes open season on Virginia’s gun owners, the only states left with reciprocity will be West Virginia, Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah.I would note that Virginia code is pretty specific about what makes states eligible for reciprocity, and provides that the Attorney General and State Police shall enter into agreements.
It provides no mechanism by which agreements can be withdrawn from once agreed upon. To me that leaves the door open for a lawsuit.It’s going to be a rough year for us. They are going to try to screw us any way they can. This is probably just the beginning. Folks, if we don’t hit these people hard come next November, we’re going to be in a metric shit-ton of trouble. The current GOP clown show of a primary (not even speaking of the clown show in Congress) doesn’t offer me much optimism. Mark Herring has to lose his next election. All stops must be pulled to defeat him if he runs for re-election in 2018.
What’s happening here is not about public safety, it’s about sticking it to a politically disfavored group any way they can think of. It’s about punishment for defying the will of this Administration. Some of my liberal Dem-voting readers might not be interested much in gun voting, but the time is fast approaching where you’ll have to decide how much you really care about your gun rights.
How many people who have been carrying in Virginia for years on the current agreements not going to get the word and end up in prison? That’s probably the idea. You will be made to pay for your defiance, and they don’t care how many lives they ruin in the process.From a practical standpoint, I’d note that Virginia issues non-resident permits. They are not hard to get. I plan on applying for one. I do not intent to let a petty, spiteful tyrant like Mark Herring disarm me.

How do you figure that?
The AG made a decision on permits held in states other than Virginia.
Hyperbole won't solve anything.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Shredding most of Virginia’s reciprocity agreements
Funny thing on the way to attack gun owners! The agreements have been in place for years and now in some sort of magical trick they are going to vanish?
The only hyperbole is coming from the AG! His action (The AG) won't solve anything...... but the goal of attacking gun owners.

Re: Shredding most of Virginia’s reciprocity agreements
You haven't answered the question.
How is a decision on out of state permits a declaration of "open season on Virginia gun owners"?

Good thing the gun owners are exercising their second amendment rights, and packin'.
In the end, the misguided actions of the AG will result in him getting his just desserts . . . A face full of buckshot meringue pie ! Or, maybe they'll just wait until the next election and express their dismay at the ballot box.
Which do you consider to be "The American Way" ?

Re: Shredding most of Virginia’s reciprocity agreements
Why bother having a process by which you issue permits in your state, if people can skirt them by obtaining permits in other states?
That is the key issue. Not some fantasy about an "attack on legal gun owners".
I would ask the pagun blog folks,,,, Once, just once could you actually discuss the issue at hand rather than going the fear mongering route?
