The 2023 Virginia legislative session has begun and to mark the occasion Virginia Delegate Marie March, House District 7, has introduced Constitutional Carry HB 1393, a bill authorizing the carrying of concealed handguns without a permit within the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Specifically, Delegate March’s bill would allow anyone, both resident and non-resident, to carry a concealed handgun without a permit, so long as that person:
· is carrying in a location where they may lawfully open carry a handgun; and
· is qualified to obtain a concealed handgun permit.
Though not a perfect bill, passing HB 1393 would restore, in certain instances, the constitutionally-protected right of individuals to carry a concealed handgun for self-defence in Virginia.
And that’s why I need your help to ensure that we get as many co-sponsors as possible on Delegate March’s Constitutional Carry legislation.
So, please send a message to your State Delegate right away to co-sponsor, support, and pass Constitutional Carry in the Old Dominion.
Beyond taking action, GOA
