Virginia – -(Ammoland.com)- This year Virginia Citizens Defense League worked with Senator Bryce Reeves, Delegate Mike Webert, and other legislators to change Virginia law to honor the CHPs of all other states.
That law became effective on July 1. In turn, Virginia CHPs became recognized in Colorado, Maine, and New Hampshire.
By law Georgia should have also begun honoring Virginia CHPs, but their Attorney General declined to have Georgia do so.
Having failed to fix the problem behind the scenes, Virginia Citizens Defense League has joined forces with Georgia Carry (a top-notch gun-rights group which modeled itself after Virginia Citizens Defense League) and is suing the Georgia Attorney General in both his capacity as Attorney General and individually!
Virginia Citizens Defense League EM Robert Sadtler is also a plaintiff in the lawsuit.
I will advise as the lawsuit moves forward.
Many thanks to the good folks at Georgia Carry (georgiacarry.org) and particularly to my counterpart, Jerry Henry, for the time and energy he has spent on this matter.

it may all change now with President Trump
Maryland is the same way only worse. They honor NO other State.
I do not want to read a legal brief to understand this. Why can’t you guys just tell us why Ga. refused to
honor Virginia’s permits? I live in Ga. and this is the first I have heard of this.
Georgia refuse t honour most other states Mother May I Cards. It is a problem with the Attournty General and his pigheadedness. WHY you guys keep hiring such clowns I cannot guess….. but you do.
The only explanation necessary is that Geortia’s AtG refuse to acknowledge Virginia’s, or most other states’ Mother May I card.
