Virginia Governor Vetoes Gun Bills, Pleads For Help From Anti-Liberty Advocates

By Ammoland

Virginia – -(Ammoland.com)- The Virginia Governor vetoed several gun bills and all the veto overrides failed along party lines in the House (only ONE more vote was needed for the overrides).

Vetoed was state-agency firearm preemption, storage of guns in private vehicles for state-agency employees while at work, clarification of the brandishing law, and arming of school security officers.

As always, however, gun owners’ rights were advanced this legislative session as all anti-gun bills failed, and the following Virginia Citizens Defense League supported initiatives become law on July 1st:

a. Only one ID will be required for purchase of firearms from an FFL dealer
b. Legal immigrants will now have the right to purchase so-called “assault weapons.”
c. Virginia will now recognize the CHPs from ALL states, increasing the number of states where Virginians can carry firearms.

The Governor, realizing his veto of the bill that would have allowed guns in state agencies again was not going to be popular, sent out the following email begging for support from the gun haters. My comments are in square brackets:
