Opposition to this Regulation
 

This "emergency" regulation by executive action by our governor is totally political. There is no good reason to restrict CCP holders from exercising their right to carry in Executive Branch Offices. We must never surrender our rights under the United States Constitution to executive fiat.  Limitations to constitutional rights should only be made in rare instances and only with the deliberate consideration and appproval of large majorities of both bodies of the legislative branch.  Allowing the governor to declare an "imaginary emergency" to unilaterally curtail our rights as lawful citizens of Virginia is morally wrong and this abuse of power must be stopped.
