Herring intends to announce later today that Virginia will rescind it&#8217;s reciprocity agreements with 25 states in regards to allowing those states&#8217; concealed weapon permit holders to carry in Virginia. While most states are strengthening Second Amendment protections, the state now governed by a carpetbagger is weakening those protections;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Herring said severing the out-of-state agreements can prevent people who may be dangerous or irresponsible from carrying a concealed weapon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo me, this is a commonsense step that can help make Virginians and our law enforcement officers safer by ensuring that Virginia\u2019s laws on who can and cannot carry a concealed handgun are applied evenly, consistently, and fairly,\u201d he said in a statement provided to The Washington Post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur General Assembly has already identified who can and cannot conceal handguns in Virginia, and we cannot have that decision undermined by recognizing permits from other states with more permissive standards.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The states which are being dropped from the list are; Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. West Virginia, Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah remain on the list.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wideopenspaces.com\/ohio-recognizes-state-concealed-carry-licenses-now-pics\/\">Ohio<\/a>, earlier this year, allowed all permitted CCW holders to carry in the State, which is at it should be. But, you know, Virginia wanted a governor from Syracuse, so that&#8217;s what they got. Virginians can count on their ability to carry concealed in those states dissipating, too. That&#8217;s why they call it a reciprocity agreement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Post reports that Virginia&#8217;s Attorney General Mark R.
