Virginia could do what Delaware does - Virginia could recognize an out of state permit only for out of state residents. A Virginia resident must have a Virginia permit to carry concealed and out of state permits for Virginia residents would not be recognized. But this is too logical for gun control advocate AG Mark Herring.
Just another reason to pass national reciprocity for all permit holders.

Naturally Herring is a Liberal Progressive Socialist Democrat.

Yes you can get a Virginia non resident CHP. Cost is 100 and you apply to Virginia state police.

Looks like they are trying to increase their income by having people apply for a non resident permit at the tune of $100.00

I hope this does not start a trend more moronic thinking from politicians.

Mark me confused. How are DE permit regs weaker than VA?
"Attorneys discovered that 25 of those states had concealed handgun permit regulations that were weaker than Virginia’s." from WaPo article.
From VSP permit requirements.
"The applicant shall demonstrate competence with a handgun by one of the following:
Completing any firearms training or safety course or class, including an electronic, video, or on-line course, conducted by a state-certified or National Rifle Association-certified firearms instructor.

That stinks!
But here's hoping there are enough outraged voters in Virginia to make a difference next election. Not sure what action their legislature could take that wouldn't be blocked by McAuliffe.

maybe not

It looks like Virginia will pass the bill and are carry privileges will be restored.

And yet concessions were given.. so while its a win its also a loss.
If a VA resident has their permit revoked I'm fine with them not being permitted to use an out of state permit. Their VA permit was most likely revoked for a reason. However, I don't agree with the State Police having to attend gun shows to run background checks. There are tones of FFLs available at those shows to do this. Its nothing but political BS and a waste of State Police time, money & resources. Additionally, domestic violence and having a restraining order placed on someone shouldn't force that someone to relinquish their carry rights. Most restraining orders are put into place way to easily and domestic violence as a reason is often one sided and most judges simply sign off on it.
I know a guy whose ex-wife threw 1/2 the kitchen, including a full butchers block of knives, at him then slapped him repeatedly when he advanced to stop her and protect himself. He had over a dozen lacerations which required stitches. The extent of his actions was to get close and bear hug her until she calmed down. When she did and he let go she stormed off screaming to the bedroom, locking herself in and called 911 on him. She had bruises down both sides of her body from where he had to hold her arms in against her and thus he was charged with domestic violence! This is an individual I've known for over 30 years and he wouldn't hurt a fly.
