Action | Promulgation of new regulation banning concealed firearms in executive branch agency offices |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 10/21/2016 |
The Governor, with his ban on the lawful carry of firearms in state buildings, acted not to benefit or protect the citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia but to repay his election "loans" from out-of-state interest groups; specifically Michael Bloomberg. There was no "emergency" to justify his original action, and no rational basis or compelling state interest to justify a permanent ban on the lawful carry of firearms in state buildings.
