3. "The policy changes will come in the form of BIPARTISAN legislation before the General Assembly"

There are some other good things in there, as well:

It includes an amendment offered by Sen. Chap Petersen (D-Fairfax City) that says Virginia will not honor an out-of-state concealed carry permit held by a person whose Virginia concealed carry permit was previously revoked — a practice known as “state shopping.”

In another concession, state police must be present at all gun shows to administer background checks in private sales of guns on a voluntary basis. McAuliffe’s budget includes $100,000 to fund the activity.

Sen. John S. Edwards (D-Roanoke) and Del. L. Scott Lingemfelter (R-Prince William) are carrying that bill.


I especially like that last part, though I would think *all* gun show operators would
be willing to fork over for a police detail to do BGCs for legal, if not moral, reasons.
