Texas is not one of the ones dropped.

Darn you beat me by one minute!

Since open carry is legal in VA without a permit, I see this as a pretty big mistake. If I am from any of those states I would just now OC.

In 99% of VA, OC is not a big deal. I have never been questioned or even disarmed during a traffic stop as a former resident and frequent visitor.

[Glockster]

Interesting, as someone from VA who still has a permit.

This move further emphasizes the need for federal reciprocity legislation, which nearly passed in 2013.

The 2015 Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act was introduced in the Senate earlier this year by Texas Senator John Cornyn and would treat concealed carry permits like driver's licenses, allowing citizens to travel from state-to-state with their permits recognized. As a result, it will be easier for citizens traveling across state lines to avoid being unfairly charged or prosecuted for exercising their Second Amendment rights.

Yeah, but those money grubbing politicians will tax you $100 for an Out of State permit so you can still bring your nasty guns.

Why/how is this germane?

Why/how is this germane?

Well...it was posted in the Other States forum, so presumably it is germane to people who carry in Virginia. I also pointed out that the Texas LTC is one of the ones that will still be accepted.

Yeah, but what does all that have to do with being germane, or frenche or irishe or even italiane?

There has been a lot of gun crime in Virginia recently attributed to out of state Concealed Carry Permit holders, The Governor of Virginia was backed in to a corner and had no choice but to take this action.

Was looking for something that discussed that gun crime attributed to permit holders but was that elsewhere?

I'm sorry I thought the sarcasm was implied. My mistake.
