RESTAURANT BAN REPEAL - CONTACT GOVERNOR KAINE ASAP
Now that the restaurant ban repeal has passed the House, we need to
absolutely bombard the governor with email, phone calls, and letters!
Let's get the Governor's attention with a breathtaking barrage of
contacts with a magnitude he hasn't seen before!
***Folks, this is the furthest that we have ever gotten the restaurant
ban repeal in the 13 years we have been trying to get it repealed.
This is our chance to get that issue put behind us.***
Get your friends, family and co-workers to contact the Governor and
ask him to sign SB 476 into law. For those in gun clubs, make
absolutely sure ever member and their family does this.
We need to work this and work it hard!
If you are tired of the restaurant ban and want to move the ball
forward for the first time on this issue, HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY!
Trust me on this, DO NOT SIT THIS ONE OUT!
Time is short, so please start now!
To contact the Governor, first call him at (804) 786-2211 and leave a
short message simply asking him to support SB 476 (restaurant ban
repeal).
Next, click on the line below to bring up the Governor's electronic
contact form (if clicking doesn't work, copy and paste the line into
your browser):
http://www.governor.virginia.gov/AboutTheGovernor/contactGovernor.cfm
Fill in your name, address, and email address.
Paste in the message subject: "Please SUPPORT SB 476!"
Paste in the following message, or type in one of your own, and then
click "Submit":
--
Please sign SB 476 into law!
SB 476 allows the most trustworthy group of citizens in the
Commonwealth, concealed handgun permit holders, to be able to carry
concealed in restaurants that serve alcoholic beverages. The permit
holder is prohibited from consuming any alcoholic beverages while
doing so.
This bill absolutely does NOT "mix guns and alcohol" because it
contains appropriate penalties and even a notification provision.
SB 476 does allow permit holders to enjoy a meal with their families
without having to either unnecessarily handle a loaded gun & leave it
in their car, where it can be stolen and used in a crime, or to have
to carry the gun openly.
Currently THIRTY-SEVEN other states allow concealed carry in
restaurants that serve alcohol and have done so successfully because
of the law-abiding nature of permit holders.
I urge you to stand with Virginia's 149,000 permit holders and to
support SB 476!
Please let me know what you are going to do.
