VA open carry in parks OK

This will be important if the DOI ever gets around to ruling on NP carry relative to state law.

HOORAY! Now lets go for Open Carry for intrastate, interstate, and maritime travel!

Don't celebrate just yet.

VCDL is saying its unclear whether the AG opinion paves the way, or the parks rule has to first be removed. VCDL is recommending no OC in state parks until the question is settled.

Bob McDonnell kicks ass. Virginia has a great AG.

"THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS: CONSTITUTIONAL LAW, POLITICS, AND PUBLIC HEALTH"

Thanks to the person emailing the JAMA article to me.

The article is just what I thought it would be -- another anti-gun article with the health issue spin.

I want to see a pro-gun sociology article on changing social norms by eliminating the most flagrant gun control laws.

Gun control laws and concealed carry laws only serve to appease those who are "afraid" of the mere sight of a gun. When fear overrides constitutional rights and human rights then we have niether.
