A step in the right direction, sounds promising
Dear Friend,
I apologize for this message coming so late, but Senator Reeves is still in a marathon committee meeting here at the Capitol in Richmond (they have been meeting for six and a half hours and counting already!) and he wanted to make sure that you heard the big news. One of his key bills this session, Senate Bill 610, which seeks to protect the concealed carry reciprocity agreements Virginia has with several other states, just passed the Courts of Justice Committee with bipartisan support a short while ago! The bill now heads to the full Senate for consideration.
Senator Reeves introduced this bill in response to the announcement by the Attorney General's office last month, ending concealed carry reciprocity agreements with several other states. That action puts in jeopardy the 2nd Amendment rights of nearly 421,000 concealed carry permit holders in Virginia when they travel out of state. Senator Reeves is proud of the progress he and his colleagues have made on this issue during session so far. As a strong believer in the 2nd Amendment (and a concealed carry permit holder himself), he is dedicated to protecting the right to self-defense for all law-abiding Virginians.
As always, if you need to contact us during session, you can call our office at (804) 698-7517 or e-mail District17@senate.virginia.gov. We will continue to keep you updated on this bill, in addition to all of our legislation, via our weekly e-mails as session goes on.
Sincerely,
Cassy Horn
Legislative Director
