Virginia is governed by former Clinton apparatchik Terry McCauliffe, a limousine liberal of the worst variety. This past fall, Michael Bloomberg and McCaullife got behind a two million dollar effort to strip Virginia citizens of their right to self defense. After failing at the ballot box, the Governor decided to just act unilaterally.
Attorney General Mark R. Herring (D) announced Tuesday that Virginia will no longer recognize concealed carry handgun permits from 25 states that have reciprocity agreements with the commonwealth.
Under the policy, Virginians with a history of stalking, drug dealing or inpatient mental-health treatment cannot obtain a permit in a state with comparatively lax laws and carry a handgun legally at home.
Herring said severing the out-of-state agreements can prevent people who may be dangerous or irresponsible from carrying a concealed handgun.
“While you are here, you are subject to the commonwealth’s gun laws,” Herring said in a news conference. The change means Virginia’s standards for obtaining a concealed weapon are applied “evenly, consistently and fairly,” he said.
The move is part of a broader effort by gun control advocates to tighten restrictions without going through GOP-controlled legislatures.
This is outrageous, but it serves as a preview of what life will be like for gun owners under Hillary Clinton. Voters should take notice.
