1. Legislative update - lifetime permit bill dead for this year, last two anti-liberty bills gasping for breath
2. AARGH! Ignore item #20 in last Update (2/28/14)
*****************************************************
1. Legislative update - lifetime permit bill dead for this year, last two anti-liberty bills gasping for breath
*****************************************************
VCDL has been working for over a week with Senator Carrico, Delegate Lingamfelter and his aide, Andrew Clark, the NRA, and the Virginia State Police to fix some issues with SB 608, Carrico's lifetime CHP bill. Stuart Higley, Carrico's aide, was exceptionally helpful in that endeavor - he was in the middle, coordinating with all the interested parties.
The changes that we managed to get into the bill switched VCDL's position from "oppose" to "support." Some important remaining issues kept our position from being "strongly support," however.
The bill was debated this morning in the Militia, Police, and Public Safety full committee. In the end, it was decided by the committee that the bill still needed more work and it was carried over until next year.
VCDL is fine with that decision, as it gives us a year to get all the kinks out of the bill the first time. We actually have several different avenues we could use to create lifetime permits, and we will be exploring all of them.
As an aside, Delegate Gilbert and Delegate Lingamfelter let the State Police know that they were not happy with positions the State Police have taken in the past against improving various aspects of Virginia's concealed handgun permit system. Lingamfelter encouraged the State Police to work with Delegate Gilbert to pass a bill in the future to recognize all out-of-state permits. A bill that did so (HB 705) was introduced by Gilbert this year, but the State Police spoke against it in the Senate just before it was killed.
-
Delegate Carr's "celebratory gunfire" bill, HB 810, is in conference committee - as I predicted earlier this week, the House wants its version (a malicious wounding bill) and the Senate wants its version (a celebratory gunfire bill). There is no real place for a compromise, so I expect the conference committee will simply kill the bill. If Senator Marsh's version of the "celebratory gunfire" bill, SB 65, gets out of the House Appropriations committee (a big "if"), I would expect it to suffer the same fate has HB 810.
-
With the exception of the veto session in April, the General Assembly will be through with this year's business next Saturday. We will then wait for the Governor to sign, not sign, or veto the bills that passed out of both the Senate and House. He has until the veto session to do so.
*****************************************************
2. AARGH! Ignore item #20 in last Update (2/28/14)
*****************************************************
Item #20 in the last update ("20. Looming scandal will be the #1 isse of 2016 Presidential Elections [VIDEO]") is actually an "infomercial" that was included in the update by mistake.
I'm trying to figure out how that item got into the update. I'm betting SPAM somehow got sent to the email address that I use to communicate with the editor, causing the confusion.
I apologize, I've never had anything like that happen before. Just ignore the infomercial in item #20.
Oh, well - at least it wasn't an ad for Moms Demand Action. ;-)
Thanks to member Charles Phillips for catching the mistake (and asking how much Stansberry & Associates slipped me under the table to include their informercial in the update). :-(

Dear York County Citizens:
WE are principled, God fearing citizens who want to see York County’s Government restored to one that serves it’s citizens and not it’s bureaucracy?
WE must stand together with other such principled citizens of York County by attending the Republican Mass meeting to elect the new Members and Chair of the York County Republican Committee, YCRC.
WE must put aside any previous bad experiences and disappointments with the YCRC, because the current committee membership will dissolve on March 6th, and the registered voters of York County – YOU and ME – will elect new Membership and a Chair, March 25th, to serve for the next two years!
WE have the Opportunity and Responsibility to elect this New Leadership and a New Membership, which you can be a part if you choose. We can reestablish a Principle focused Committee to work together and follow the Republican Creed and the YCRC Mission, stated below.
WE must begin the process to preserve the freedoms our founders fought to establish right here in Yorktown!
WE need to elect God fearing, Diversity inclusive, Fiscal conservatives to represent us and then hold them accountable with our voice through the YCRC!
WE must reduce the size of our oversized, overreaching county government, and bring back a smaller government that serves the People and not itself!
There is a candidate running for YCRC Chair who holds to the principles and convictions I have mentioned. However, I’m not asking you to vote for the candidate of my choice, but for you to show up on March 25th and vote for the leader of your choice who will lead and best serve York County citizens.
Please don't let the apathy and past disappointment that got us into the situation we are in currently, and don't let others succeed in deterring you from this very important opportunity and responsibility to participate by casting your vote!
God Bless,
David Phillips

***************************************************
1. Legislative Update
***************************************************
As predicted, the Senate passed the version of Delegate Carr's "celebratory gunfire" bill, HB 810, that was modified in the Senate Courts of Justice committee to match its original form. Better than predicted, the House rejected HB 810 by 98 to 0!
Because there are now two differing versions of HB 810, if the House and Senate refuse to budge, which I think will be the case, a conference committee consisting of 3 Senators and 3 Delegates can be created to attempt to work out a compromise. I don't see an acceptable compromise being possible and hopefully HB 810 will be killed.
SB 65, Senator Marsh's matching version of HB 810 as it left the Senate, comes before the House Courts of Justice on Monday afternoon. It is our hope that SB 65 gets killed as well.
-
On Friday SB 377 passed out of the House Militia, Police, and Public Safety committee UNANIMOUSLY and heads to the House Floor on Monday: SB 377 is Senator Reeve's bill that gives gun dealers the *option* to check a gun for stolen when they acquire it from a non-dealer.

He is very sore and a bit overwhelmed by it all, but he is taking it in stride. My wife and I greatly appreciate everyone who prayed for my son and it is comforting to be in St. Mary's Hospital Building (Mayo Clinic). There is a nice Chapel downstairs and my wife and I sent some prayers back your way in thanksgiving for all of the support."
