They can now arrest anyone, even people with legal concealed carry permits, who shows up at the Virginia Capitol and neighboring office buildings.

Gee how will they protect the politicians now.LOL

Lol

WOW

Is a "Gun Free Zone" and "Easy Target" the same thing?

another reason to do away with permission to exorcise a right.

I'm thinking it might be fun to walk in there unarmed. Stand about 20 feet from armed security and start screaming "GUN GUN" Insist at your jury trial you thought it was illegal to be armed there and you were in panic mode, afraid for your life.

I wish someone that had the money and the nads … to challenge in court... the right for an armed body guard had more of a right to carry, than any other citizen. I would use every means available through the courts; like injunctions, and stays and all of the other legal tactics lawyers use against them. I can almost bet that if SCUM like Pelosi had no body guard with her she wouldn't leave her house. If a law says it is unlawful to carry, then it should be unlawful for everyone. What will eventually happen if this crap is continued to progress, you will have what you had in Germany under the Nazis. The storm troopers (armed), the people (unarmed) and the elite.

Garry-

This has been challenged in court many times and has always been found to be unconstitutional but it will take time to get to the higher courts.

I agree 100%. Why do they always have exception for elites.

Just like 'drug free school zones'. Fine , no drugs , means no drugs. Period. No ritalin or other type drugs. No coffee for the teachers. No drugs in the nurses office. Nothing. It shows the stupidity of banning something. Kids get in trouble for having aspirin.

I find it ironic that a enacting this ban if for public safety! Don't I have to right to be safe but you are taking that right away from me!
The pressure have to continue to be put on our politicians. Not in just VA. but all States. The pressure starts with you and I.
There is a process to get a law passed. You have a right to voice you opinion for or against the bill before it is voted on. There is all kinks of information on how to do this in your computer.

** Only the Voters can make the difference. *

dems = anti gun, bring in other cultures and support them in exchange for their votes in order to change the USA.

Marty:
I must be a little slow here, please explain your answer. Thanks.

Dems are anti gun and for importing people to change the voting demographics, they will use your $ to support these people so they will vote for the dems. They know exactly how many they need to bring into key states to change the electoral vote outcome and local election outcomes...it is a premeditated plan to change the USA by changing election results so they can gain or keep control of government and then implement laws that change the USA. Anyone who wants to control a group of people will disarm them first....disarming Americans is going on all over the USA. Many states have done it and are continuing to do it via state laws passed by dems. The ultimate goal is complete control over the people.

I've come to the conclusion the left's goal is to simply weary the courts. Break them and make them say "You win." I don't see how our current situation resolves itself without coming to blows. We've never been more divided, not in my lifetime.

100% agree. It's not hard to see.

Agree. The sad part is many firearm owners will continue to vote for the anti-gun liberals. They have blinders on and can’t see the left’s intentions.

Thanks Marty: I bet Michael Bloomberg has a hand in that! The only way to turn the tide on the is for the smaller area need to get out in vote. That is why everyone need to vote in there election. Not just the National election but your city, village, school, county. On most ballets there are several issue to vote on along with people that are running for office.

I think a good strategy would be for the minority party to attempt to tack on language that all public officials security details be subject to whatever restriction they are trying to place on civilians. Make them vote to keep it out of the bill . Make them vote that they are more important than civilians . It makes for a effective add campaign that they voted to not be subject to the same laws they are inflicting on the rest of us . This is a stratagy that the minority party has used to take the teeth out of many laws they were apposed to . This should be atleast attempted with every gun law that goes through state or federal legislatures

You can't even take a pocket knife into the capital in ND, much less a CC handgun. It is about the same as going through TSA at an airport. You show ID and go through a metal detector. I figured every state was that way. The county court house is the same way.
