I forgot to check the date, it's from 2015.


https://www.foxnews.com/politics/virgin ... -25-states

"Attorney General Mark Herring, a Democrat, said the state will revoke its reciprocity agreement with the states because their concealed weapon laws don't meet Virginia's standards. Those states hand out permits to people who are barred under the Virginia law, like fugitives, convicted stalkers and drug dealers, which undermines the state's law and puts residents at risk, he said.

...

The move means that Virginians will no longer be able to use their concealed handgun permits in six states that require a mutual reciprocity agreement: Florida, Louisiana, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Wyoming."

There's another state I can cross off my list. The one with NY, NJ, MD, etc.

Thanks. I usually check, but it seemed too fitting with the recent drama.

Old, yes. Past as prologue, yes. Northam will get to it.

Even if only a part of the package of laws survives, it’s a heads- up. Virginia was on my short list if I decided to leave FL; crossed off.
