Gun bills are going to be heard in the House Firearms subcommittee on Tuesday, February 18, at 8:30 am in the Room 300-A Subcommittee Room in the General Assembly building at 900 East Main St. in Richmond. Bills being heard: SB 71 - This is an extremely bad bill that will make churches and synagogues which have daycare or preschool classes into gun-free zones! This would hit synagogues particularly hard. VCDL strongly opposes this bill. SB 173 - This bill allows someone with a CHP to have a stun weapon in their vehicle while on school property. VCDL strongly supports this bill. SB 436 - creates a "Virginia Voluntary Do Not Sell List," where a person can voluntarily have their name added and, later, removed if desired. A person on the list cannot purchase a firearm, under penalty of a misdemeanor if they try. What this bill actually accomplishes is a mystery, but a person could maliciously put another person on the list. The penalty for doing so, if caught, is a misdemeanor. VCDL opposes this bill.
