Life just got a little bit safer in the great state of Virginia. Safer, that is, if you’re a domestic abuser and you don’t want to get shot by your victim.
Stephen Gutowski, Washington Free Beacon:
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D.) vetoed a bill on Friday that aimed to allow victims of domestic violence to carry concealed firearms without obtaining a permit.
House Bill 1852 would allow anyone in Virginia who has a protective order and is over 21 to carry a concealed firearm without a permit for up to 45 days after the order is issued…
“The bill perpetuates the dangerous fiction that the victims of domestic violence will be safer by arming themselves,” [McAuliffe] said. “It would inject firearms into a volatile domestic violence situation, making that situation less safe, not more.”
And McAuliffe knows this is a “dangerous fiction” because… Well, he just does.

Welcome to Maryland, Virginia, we told you this would happen with McAuliffe, if I were you, I would start a petition or paper work to have this guy repealed....
Such a bass ackwards legislature in Richmomd. Bunch of old timers still trying to hand on to 1800's mentality. Their revenue bread/butter is Northern VA as well as the shipyards of SE VA - yet the disproportion of the wealth goes to rural VA. Rather raise local taxes instead of the overall gasoline tax (which would also be paid by non-Virginian's..... To boot - a 1 term governor requirement. By the time the Gov has any influence, the position is lame duck for the final 2 years.
Gray-Beards need to go so the 2 states (MD and VA) can work together instead of wicked step children!
They can make it illegal for me to carry a gun but they can't stop me from carrying.
This governor needs to die! He needs a bullet in the head! He needs to be gutted like a fish!
