Sussex County Va Backs Down On Shooting Range Infringement For Now

Virginia Citizens Defense League

Virginia - -(AmmoLand.com)- As we reported earlier Sussex County VA was to Voting On Restricting Shooting Ranges. About 25 gun owners showed up at the Sussex Board of Supervisors meeting last night.

Everyone who spoke, spoke in opposition to the proposed ordinance that would require special use permits for shooting ranges.

Many of the Board did not seem enthusiastic about the ordinance. In the end they rejected the wording defining what a pistol range was and sent the issue back to the planning commission.

We may have to go out there one more time in the future for the whole concept to be put to rest, but I think if we keep the pressure up, the proposed ordinance will be defeated.

Dickenson County Va Not Issuing Temporary Gun Permits – Issue Should Now Be Resolved

Virginia Citizens Defense League

Virginia - -(AmmoLand.com)- I had a report that the Dickenson County Circuit Court Clerk, Richard W. Edwards, was not issuing temporary permits when permit approval exceeded the 45-day limit.

I called Mr. Edwards and we spent some time on the phone. He said that permits were typically taking 60 to 90 days to issue, due to the judge not signing off on them in a timely fashion. Mr. Edwards was not aware that he was supposed to issue temporary permits (which do not require approval by the judge, BTW) after 45 days.

I pointed him to the code section (18.2-308 D) and he said he would correct his procedures as soon as his deputy clerk returns from vacation in a week or so.

If you live in Dickenson County or have any gun owning friends that do, let me know permits are being issued on time and if not, if temporary permits are being issued on time.
