HB 2069 - Delegate Athey - Constitutional Carry bills (a person doesn't need to have a permit to carry concealed, but can get one if they want one) - there are some serious drafting errors in this bill. We expect the drafting errors to get fixed and the bill to be improved in subcommittee, but are in wait-and-see mode right now. Stay tuned.


A single email for these 3 anti-gun bills:

HB 1669 - Delegate McClellan - so called "Gun show loophole" bill - VCDL Strongly Opposes:

HB 2524 - Delegate Carr - makes it illegal to sell, barter, or transfer a magazine that will hold 20 or more rounds. Another silly "feel-good" measure - VCDL Strongly Opposes

HB 3454 - Delegate Morrissey - makes it illegal for anyone who is carrying openly, or concealed with a concealed handgun permit, to be intoxicated. Police, Commonwealth Attorneys, Harbormaster of Hopewell, and others can be as drunk as they want without repercussion - VCDL Strongly Opposes
