Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key proposed gun law changes in Virginia?

Virginia is considering an assault weapon ban, a ban on firearm manufacturing, restrictions on carrying in restaurants, a three-day waiting period, and state certification for concealed carry instructors. A significant concern is the potential destruction of reciprocity for all other states.

How would HB466 affect gun owners traveling through Virginia?

HB466 would allow Virginia's Attorney General and State Police to arbitrarily decide if other states' laws are 'close enough' to Virginia's, potentially revoking reciprocity. This could penalize millions of Americans traveling through Virginia, impacting their ability to carry firearms legally.

What action can citizens take against these proposed Virginia gun laws?

Citizens are urged to attend the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) Lobby Day on January 15th at the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond. Contacting Governor Youngkin to express concerns about Second Amendment rights is also encouraged.

What is the significance of Virginia's reciprocity law?

Virginia currently recognizes permits from every state. The proposed changes under HB466 threaten this by allowing state officials to unilaterally decide which out-of-state permits are valid, effectively destroying reciprocity and impacting interstate travel for gun owners.
