Virginia Governor McAuliffe issued an Executive Order in December 2015 banning firearms in all buildings under the control of the Executive Branch. Last week he Virginia Citizens Defense League President put out a letter concerning this and that the Governor has no legal grounds to post those buildings. You can read the letter Here: http://www.handgunlaw.us/documents/VCDLGovBuildBan.pdf This letter forced Brian Coy, the governor’s spokesperson, to reply and he affirmed the order is a policy and if a gun owner is asked to leave at one of these locations, and didn’t leave immediately the punishment would be trespassing. "If you enter a facility that's under the purview of this order, you'll be asked to leave or you'll deny entry. If you're respectful, that should be the end of the story," said Coy.

The above is just one instance of the VCDL taking up the cause for gun owners/carriers. There are other great state groups that are doing your bidding at the state level and making a huge difference. Handgunlaw.us highly recommends if you are not a member of your state RKBA’s Org you should join. They are doing the bulk of the work in keeping and expanding our rights to carry in their respective states. You can view a list of states and their RKBA’s Org Here: http://www.handgunlaw.us/documents/state_rkba_orgs.pdf If you Organization is not listed please drop me an email at admins@handgunlaw.us and we will add your Organization to the listing.​

I ignored it and carried into the DMV several times this past month.

well according to VCDL, all they can do is ask you to leave

Small tidbit to help Marylanders; it came to me that the Maryland action group ought to change their name to MDCDL (Maryland Citizens Defense League). Why not, VA and WV are successful with their titles, that is, VCDL and WVCDL.

That's my two cents.

That would certainly make the obvious purpose of the organization more broad.

worth considering I think.

That sign is on the doors of the ABC stores here, too. I will ignore them, too

I wholeheartedly agree.

Have said it before that almost nobody outside of a vary narrow group of people knows what "shall issue" even means, the group's goals are broader than that, and it would have broader support with the new name. My .02.
