Va. will again recognize concealed-carry permits from other states

RICHMOND (Washington Post)  — Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Republican leaders will announce Friday they have reached a deal on Virginia’s gun regulations in a surprising moment of compromise on an issue that had threatened to poison the remainder of the governor’s term in office.

McAuliffe (D) agreed to legislation that says the state must recognize concealed-handgun permits from nearly all states — a reversal of Attorney General Mark R. Herring’s decision last month to sever the reciprocity rights of gun owners in 25 states.

There are some liberal tears at Bloomberg’s Golden Boy and gun control fanatic Terry McAuliffe rolls back gun control.

Supposedly McAuliffe drove a hard bargain to restore reciprocity for card-carrying good guys from 25 states.  What did he get to sign legislation to reverse his Attorney General’s unilateral gun grab?

1.  If a Virginia residents CCW license is revoked, they won’t be able to use a permit from another state.

2.  Virginia State Police will be at gun shows to do background checks for private sales if people want to participate.  In other words, it’s completely voluntary!

3.  If you’re subject to an order of protection, you can’t carry a gun for the term of the order.
