If things go according to plan in Virginia, we’re going to see how much anti-gun politicians really hate guns once they’re no longer protected by them.
Jumping on the anti-Second Amendment bandwagon, Democratic Attorney General Mark Herring has moved forward with a plan for Virginia to cease recognizing concealed carry permits granted by the 25 different states that issue such permits. But conservatives in the state legislature have a trick up their sleeves.
According to Virginia Senator Bill Carrico, Republicans in the State Senate will be able to strip Governor Terry McAuliffe of the armed security team that protects him via a planned budget amendment that he will introduce in January.
“If he’s so afraid of guns, then I’m not going to surround him with armed state policemen,” Carrico stated. One can only hope this makes McAuliffe reconsider his Attorney General’s decision.

saw an investigative documentary on illegal guns and it included illegal gun manufacturing that started in the Philippines and were imported to the U.S. through Oakland CA. So much for gun laws – that only make people criminals and make criminals rich. Did we not learn from the Prohibition era? Criminals will always have guns, even if they have to make them them selves.
Actually, if he does it through the budget, he has every right. These people who protect elected officials are paid for by tax payers money. If it is not included in the state budget, they won’t get paid. He’ll have to fund it out of his own pocket.
It’s false information in this article. No federal body except the Supreme Court ,and that is strictly over the court system, has authority over a state. Why don’t you trying reading the Constitution.
About time someone calls a politician on their hypocrisy. How can you expect to enjoy armed protection and deny me the same????
Hope you are correct, John !
all politicans who are against the 2nd amendment need stripped of all protection!
Do it, take his armed security away. Obama too.
Karma
About time , now other states should follow suit. Bravo sir.
Strip him of his astronomical salary as well, so State employees can get a tiny raise, huh? Oh, and no fucking WAY am I giving up my gun, so SUCK THAT!!!
