Virginia Pro Gun Bills Introduced

Covington VA --(Ammoland.com)- The General Assembly begins its 2011 session today.

First, I had a wrong bill number in a previous alert: SJ 307 should have been SJ 306:

SJ 306 - Senator McEachen – Senate Joint Resolution which resolves that a Virginia Constitutional Amendment be made that allows NON-VIOLENT felons to get their voting rights back, BUT NOT THEIR FIREARMS RIGHTS BACK, upon completion of their sentence. VCDL Opposes this resolution as introduced because it specifically denies someone their Second Amendment rights, but would Strongly Support it if firearms rights would be restored, too

Seems like a good law to me.

I agree with the VCDL. IMHO all rights should be restored after you do your time not just the right to vote. If you can't trust a free man he shoudln't be free.

The House of Delegates gave preliminary approval Monday to a bill authorizing the use of deadly force against an intruder who enters a home and threatens to injure the occupant.

The bill, HB1573, introduced by Del. Bill Cleaveland, R-Botetourt County, would put the so-called "castle doctrine" into state law. It would allow a home's occupant to use "any degree of physical force, including deadly physical force," if an intruder commits an overt act toward the occupant that he reasonably believes would put him in imminent danger of bodily injury.

I sure hope the home defense bill passes. Thier is no reason why some one shouldn't be able to defend themselves in their own home.
