The bill provides that any person that violates the provisions of this section is subject to a civil penalty of not less than $1,000 nor more than $100,000 for the initial violation and $5,000 per day for each day of violation thereafter.

HB 568 Carrying or storing firearms in motor vehicles and vessels; exceptions; penalty.

Provides that any person possessing or storing a firearm in a motor vehicle or vessel shall secure such firearm in a locked container, other than a glove box, that is not within the dominion and control of or readily accessible for prompt and immediate use by any person within the motor vehicle. The bill provides exceptions for law-enforcement officers, licensed security guards, military personnel in the performance of their lawful duties, or any person having a valid concealed handgun permit. A violation is punishable by a civil penalty not to exceed $2,500. The bill also removes the current exception for carrying a concealed weapon for any person who may lawfully possess a firearm and is carrying a handgun while in a personal, private motor vehicle or vessel and such handgun is secured in a container or compartment in the vehicle or vessel.

HB 569 Out-of-state concealed handgun permits; reciprocity.

Out-of-state concealed handgun permits; reciprocity. Reinstates the prior law providing that the holder of an out-of-state concealed handgun permit who is at least 21 years of age is authorized to carry a concealed handgun in Virginia if the other state (i) has a 24-hour-a-day means of verification of the validity of the permits issued in that state and (ii) has requirements and qualifications that are adequate to prevent possession of a permit by persons who would be denied a permit in Virginia. Under current law, the holder of an out-of-state concealed handgun permit who is at least 21 years of age is authorized to carry a concealed handgun in Virginia if (a) the other state has a means of verification of the validity of the permits issued in that state, accessible 24 hours a day, if available; (b) the person carries a government-issued photo identification and displays it upon demand of a law-enforcement officer; and (c) the person has not previously had a Virginia concealed handgun permit revoked. The bill states that the Attorney General shall (1) determine whether states meet the requirements and qualifications of the bill, (2) maintain a registry of such states, and (3) make the registry available to law-enforcement officers for investigative purposes. The bill further requires the Attorney General to review the determinations of whether states meet the requirements and qualifications of the bill and update the registry accordingly every two years. The bill removes the requirement for the Superintendent of State Police to enter into agreements for reciprocal recognition with other states that require an agreement to be in place before the state will recognize a Virginia concealed handgun permit as valid in the state and provides that the Attorney General may enter into agreements for reciprocal recognition with any state qualifying for recognition. The bill also reinstates the recognition of certain Maryland concealed handgun permits and eliminates the requirement that the Superintendent of State Police enter into agreements for reciprocal recognition of concealed handgun permits or licenses with other states where agreements were in existence on December 1, 2015.

If an emergency substantial risk order is issued, a judge or magistrate may issue a search warrant to remove firearms from such person. An emergency substantial risk order shall expire on the fourteenth day following issuance of the order. The bill requires a court hearing in the circuit court for the jurisdiction where the order was issued within 14 days from issuance of an emergency substantial risk order to determine whether a substantial risk order should be issued. Seized firearms shall be retained by a law-enforcement agency for the duration of an emergency substantial risk order or a substantial risk order or, for a substantial risk order and with court approval, may be transferred to a third party 21 years of age or older chosen by the person from whom they were seized.

*Newly elected

Remember this - Everything that is done, can be undone.

Democrats want to make America safe by banning guns. Just like in Mexico, which is now safe for the cartels because law abiding people are defenseless.

Getting something undone is much more difficult.

As for Helmer winning by less than 1,500 votes... that is irrelevant. A win by 1 vote is a win.

In 2021 as they criminalize too many things that are not broken

But The GOP has to run candidates that can win Not Cory Stewarts or Gillespie whom I voted for but they could not win and I knew it. Plus the GOP has to field candidates in NOVA. Its dammed shame that there are no vets to run as conservatives outnumber liberal Democrats in the military such as Helmer who is a pure ass

Then again did some vets want to run and the GOP not support them not wanting to spend the money to back them . That has got to stop if that happened

Personally I agree with Cory but he is too strong for Virginia statewide today he needs to stay regional , weaker candidates are what the people want statewide. Conservative Voters must understand that you have to hold your nose and vote sometimes for the one who is not the worst today in politics who can win on your side, and that's Never A Democrat as they are always the worst people to ever trust your liberty to.

A NO Vote or A Third party Vote Is Always A Vote For The Unconstitutional Democrat . Vote Republican for the sake of your future and your liberty and more important that of your children's

This mess will end up in SCOTUS

The gun range bill HB 567 is pure hatefulness.. There's no rational to it at all

Its a 100% unconstitutional attack to keep law abiding gun owners from being able to train and use firearms safely

It will not pass , its the product of the worst of the worst in society

HB 318 is another addition to one of the most destructive acts in American history , banning law abiding citizens whom possess concealed firearms permits from entering schools or colleges with the predictable carnage we have seen in America with Va Tech Sandy Hook and Parklawn . If Dems are concerned about students guns and bullets pass a low about that and exclude law abiding citizens with CCW permits

Liberal Democrats Death Zone Insanity: Gun free school signs stop killers from shoving guns into pockets and backpacks

HB 421 Allows Fairfax and others to take completely unconstitutional acts against the people right to keep and bear arms. Its constitutional to allow counties and cities to petition Richmond for a individual bill for a city or county that will be heard by all in the state house and signed by a governor , its unconstitutional to give this state wide authority away with no review by the entire General Assembly.

As far as destroying the firearms seized its more hateful liberal insanity to destroy any firearms that could be used to defend Virginia or the United States. These firearms should be remanded to the Virginia National guard for inspection cleaning and storage for national defense purposes. Firearms that are not suitable for military use then can be sold at auction to law abiding persons or destroyed if not historical artifacts from US wars that must be preserved.

The rest of these bills seen here are within the majority parties whims to pass and when the political tide turns as it will with Democrats overreaching in so many ways in Virginia it will and all of their acts overturned other then what may be reasonable

>Virginia Tech and local schools set to celebrate when new VA gun bills are passed.

Celebrate what ? None of the bills will stop a future criminal shooter.

They will simply greatly aid to make the death toll higher

What part do you not understand about law abiding citizens and concealed carry law in Virginia ? Forget it only the shooter can concealed carry as Cho did at Va tech as he had no CCW permit , killers simply stuff the guns in the backpacks and pockets and walk in.

The rest of the students were unarmed and could not even fight back if they were heavy combat vets from Iraq who could have taken Cho down with a handgun.. They and the rest never got the chance , because of the stupidity of your Democrats with your Gun Free School Death Zones that only are False Hope Areas.

And you sit their smirking like you really posted a huge winning Democrat putdown..You need to do some serious thinking about your position

If I introduced "Never Forget VaTech!" to "Eddie Eagle"

I bet he would listen to the Commonwealth's "Silly Steve Weed " and agree with Silly Steve's every word LOL!

That indoor range bill is directed at the NRA HQ specifically. If this passes by some lunacy that's it. I'm going to stalk and assassinate every last carpet bagger who votes for that bill. If you think I'm fucking kidding go ahead and sign it Coonman..

How about volunteering to becoming a human bomb we can drop on Iran , One of you cray crays will be all it takes .

Fuck your oil war and fuck your stormtroopers from main street to Iran too. I have been hunting all my life and I can pop a rabbit on the fly at 100 yards with the buckhorn on my trusty .22 which is only one of several options at my disposal. The army will only teach you counterinsurgency tactics. Insurgency runs in my blood you could say... SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS

And it is just worth remembering that..
