With the stroke of his pen, Governor McAuliffe has taken action limiting Second Amendment rights in the Commonwealth. His executive order prohibits open carry in all buildings occupied by the executive branch. He also unilaterally created a Joint Task Force with federal agencies (who hate guns in the hands of citizens even more than he does) to ensure that gun crimes are aggressively prosecuted. More ominously, the governor spoke at length in his press release about his concern that Virginians are free to engage in the private sale of firearms, without government intrusion and monitoring. Governor McAuliffe probably means well, and given his wealthy New York roots, hating guns and their owners is part of his DNA, so perhaps he should get a pass. But as YOUR gun rights attorney, I see no reason to give ANYONE a pass who is using his office to take away our freedom! If you are facing firearm charges, whether it be for possession or use, call me right away. And if you have lost your gun rights for any reason, call me so that I can help you restore these rights while you still can! http://goo.gl/Vu4FYm
