Was listening to a talk radio show early this morning. Cuccinelli was one of the subjects. He spoke about how some of Virginia's gun laws turn law-abiding citizens into criminals and used the example of our member in Henrico County who moved a gun from his glove box and was seen by a school bus driver doing this resulting in a brandishing charge. Cuccinelli thought this was way beyond the scope and spirit of the law.
So a call was taken from someone who happened to live in Woodbridge and was a Fairfax LEO. He said that a lot of people applying for LEO positions in that county were from up north and brought their northern ideas about firearms with them to Virginia. This was a very real concern to this caller LEO who added that this new officers didn't like the idea of citizens going armed and didn't know anything about open carry. This could be a disaster waiting to happen. One would think that the academy would recognize this and take the needed steps to educate these new recruits in the ways of Virginia. Perhaps they do but it winds up going in one ear and out the other.
