Virginia Senator To Strip Governor Of Protective Detail Over Concealed Carry


Although McAuliffe has already made a name for himself as an avowed enemy of gun rights, the state of Virginia permits licensed gun owners to engage in concealed carry. Thanks to Attorney General Herring, however, gun owners traveling through or visiting Virginia will be denied a right recognized in 25 other states.

“Republican state legislators could strip Virginia Democrat Governor Terry McAuliffe of his protective detail. Virginia Sen. Bill Carrico told The Herald Courier last Tuesday he plans to propose a budget amendment during the State Senate’s January Session that would defund the governor’s protective detail.

‘A lot of the governor’s power is deferred to the General Assembly at that point and I’ll be getting with my colleagues to circumvent everything this governor has done on this point,’ Carrico said. ‘I have a budget amendment that I’m looking at to take away his executive protection unit. If he’s so afraid of guns, then I’m not going to surround him with armed state policemen.'”
