House Bill 1516, a much needed improvement in the state`s firearm preemption statute, was signed into law Monday, March 24 by Governor Mark Warner (D). Many jurisdictions have attempted to ban or have banned the lawful carry of firearms in public places and public buildings. The provisions of this law will protect concealed carry licensees from these types of local regulations.
Please contact Governor Warner and thank him for approving this piece of legislation which protects concealed carry licensees from local abuse of power.
