Oh, wouldn't it be something if this action by AG Herring of Virginia were to force a case resulting in national constitutional carry?

Not even going to get close to anything similar - more likely to happen is the feds will mandate a NJ/NY style of process to obtain one.

I am surprised that no one is asking HOOfan_1 what the action was... In case you are wondering, it was fighting the 2006 State Constitutional Amendment ban on same sex marriage. He took plenty of flack for undermining instead of fighting to protect the VA State Constitution.

Speaking of NJ and unrelated to the conceal carry issue in my home state, I saw that Christie is now fighting for gun rights (???). In a purely political move ... (and It's not even all that pro-gun.):

On the local news tonight they reported , a Rep. Senator wants to defund the Governors State Police body guard program , as a pushback to recent changes in gun laws .

I voted against the amendment myself, but the responsibilities of the Attorney General include defending the state against legal suits and defending the Constitution of Virginia.

Inaction against those suits is one thing, but he actively supported the suits against the Commonwealth he is supposed to represent.

There will be plenty of bluster, there always is, just like the guy who tried to introduce legislation to impeach Herring.

Any bill, or budget passed in the legislature needs to get passed McAuliffe's veto powers, and failing that be over turned by 2/3 majority in the General Assembly. Nothing extreme enough to overturn the doings of McAuliffe or Herring will make it into the Code of Virginia.

Right now we are basically at a stand still in Virginia. McAuliffe can't get any of his agenda passed in the General Assembly, and anything counter to his agenda won't make it off of his desk without a veto. We to hope for an anti-McAuliffe to be voted into the Governor's Mansion in 2017, and hope the GA is still in control of the anti-McAuliffes

I've completed my VA non-resident CCW application as I live in a county of NC that sits on the border with VA.

Bottom line: It's easier to get a VA permit than it was to get my NC permit. NC required a state-specific course and actual shooting. VA requires only a military ID, hunter education course, or any NRA certified course. You can even do it online.

They are costing me about 2 hours of my time (for fingerprint card, application, and getting a money order) and $100.

There is nothing common sense about any of this.

Residents don't even have to get finger printed. The General Assembly took that option away from the localities a couple of years ago.
 
I'm in Northeast Tennessee and travel often into Southwest Virginia. Completed my VA non-resident CHP application and according to USPS priority mail tracking the packet got to the Virginia State Police in Richmond on December 28.

Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with
the time required for approval or denial of non-resident CHP permits in Virginia.

Would like to have an informed estimate as to about how long I might wait for an answer?
 
I have family in VA and like to carry when I visit them. They aren't the problem but their neighborhoods are. What's my best/cheapest corse of action?
 
I understand open carry will be legal even for non-residents. Doesn't make sense, does it?
Considered that but decided against it . . . Too many potential problems there. :(
