If you must assign blame, assign it to those who refuse to change their law in an effort to combat this "exporting" of CCW permits. It is in no way Virginia's fault that other states choose to recognize Virginia permits. I'm sure we can agree that, under current law, each state is responsible for setting their own standards for CCW permit issuance and recognition, right?<br /><br />Moonshine7102Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-57955251910498304602012-09-06T16:09:00.867+02:002012-09-06T16:09:00.867+02:00No, you're exaggerating.

Thus an armed citizen with minimal training poses no significant risk to the public because they would never have to use their firearm to defend themselves ... and never put the public at risk because of the incompetence that MikeB fears.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-28525908356203975492012-09-05T15:58:35.572+02:002012-09-05T15:58:35.572+02:00I have a Florida non-resident permit, but at some ...I have a Florida non-resident permit, but at some point, I'll look into getting a Virginia one as well. Thanks for reminding me, MIkeb. Many states have reciprocity agreements with others, but not all. One reason for getting multiple licenses is to add more states where a person may carry. Arkansas and Michigan have the most reciprocity, but when it's time for me to renew my license, I'll be glad to have a spare in case there's any delay in processing the paperwork.<br /><br />States that impose more stringent requirements on good citizens are infringing on their rights. Some states--Virginia, we see here, but also Florida, Utah, and others--respect our gun rights, and good for them.Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-13099401437025466832012-09-05T15:31:48.368+02:002012-09-05T15:31:48.368+02:00Well this will all be resolved when the Federal re...Well this will all be resolved when the Federal reciprocity bill passes.

Virginia following all applicable laws in the issuance of out-of-state carry permits is an abuse, but Chicago and D.C. creating a labyrinthine licensing and registration scheme in order to discourage gun ownership is a-okay?
