Virginia progun measures advance

The Virginia Citizen's Defense League is reporting a number of pro-gun results in the Virginia legislature, at the subcommittee level. The Militia, Police and Public Safety subcommittee killed Rep. Watts' bill to extend gun show requirements to just about every gathering at which a gun is sold, and passsed measure to allow judges to delegate CCW issuing authority, define "personal knowledge" which can be used to refuse a permit, to make VA permits reciprocal with all other states,
Today the subcommittee votes on a bill to allow firearms in parked cars (if locked)--I assume that's like the proposed FLA legislation, that forbids a business to bar them -- and to prevent use of emergency powers to disarm citizens, as was done in New Orleans.
