Virginia – -(Ammoland.com)- I called Senator Mark Warner’s DC office last week and asked to speak to the aide who handles firearms policies. I ended up talking to Ross.
I told Ross:
- Since Senator Warner is supposed to be representing Virginia and not New York, he needs to support National Concealed Carry Reciprocity
- Virginia ALREADY recognizes concealed carry permits from all states. The General Assembly has spoken on this matter so that National Reciprocity would change nothing for Virginia
- But the 450,000 Virginia CHP holders would benefit from being able to carry in the rest of the 49 states.
During the conversation, it was clear that he didn’t know that Virginia now honors the CHPs from all states, as Ross only mentioned that Virginia had dropped reciprocity with 25 states! I made sure he was clear on the actual situation.
Ross also said that they had heard from people opposing National Reciprocity.
I said, “What can they possibly be against? National Reciprocity would change NOTHING in Virginia. If the people calling were from another state, Senator Warner does not represent them.”
Ross said he would communicate my comments to Senator Warner.
There really would be no LOGICAL argument for a Congressional legislator representing Virginia, like Virginia Senator Mark Warner, to NOT support National Reciprocity.

Hi support closing all gun purchase loopholes and strict enforcement of background checks. It is imperative that we require as much vetting of gun owners as we do drivers of automobiles.

We must increase public awareness of the well documented fact that more fire arms increases fire alarm casualties, that, in fact, guns make us less safe.

Both links came back “invalid address”
You need to send your information to both warner and kaine, however, you’ll receive a letter back stating that the senator has received many communications wanting more “gun control” and will not be supporting the National Concealed Carry Reciprocity law. In other words–they’re typical liberal democrats voting the party line.
We can all email Senator Warner and Senator Kaine about this. Suggested text: 1. Since the Senator is supposed to be representing Virginia and not New York, he needs to support National Concealed Carry Reciprocity 2. As of last year, Virginia recognizes concealed carry permits from all states.
