Virginia cuts back on reciprocity
Very sharply cuts back, following a ruling by its Attorney General. As of February 1, it will no longer recognize concealed carry permits from: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
It will continue to recognize only those from West Virginia, Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah.

Are peace officers obligated to follow the AG ruling? Is the law written to give AG that discretion?
The trouble is that the AG's "ruling" is essentially the legal advice for that state on what the law says. So expect cops to follow it, and to have an out of state criminal proceeding to challenge it in.
I wonder why they are still accepting some but not others?
