I had a thought one day that there should be an exemption under 18.2-308 for someone to carry their handgun concealed to a firearms training class, so that they could learn about it. I brought this idea up to the VCDL and they found a sponsor, Sen. Frank Ruff, Jr. The law passed and becomes effective July 1, 2012.

Read the highlighted text here - 18.2-308 (B)(11) - http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504 ... AP0291+hil

Thanks to the VCDL and Sen. Ruff for making this happen!

Congratulations, and thanks for getting involved in the legislative process :clap:

As a instructor, will this change the way you conduct classes in regards to students possibly carrying a firearm AND ammunition during classroom instruction?

Does this make you one of those evil lobbyists Der Fuhrer keeps talking about?

Seriously, congratulations on having made a difference.
