Militia and Police move Restaurant Ban Repeal to Full House

As I was writing my earlier post this morning, the House Militia, Police and Public Safety full
committee met and reported SB334 (repeal of the restaurant ban) , SB408 (storage of a firearm by a non CHP holder) and SB3, (renewal of CHPs by mail). These bills now head to the full House and if they pass unchanged from their current form (which they should since House versions of the bills have already passed), they will go to the Governor for his signature. Governor McDonnell is expected to sign all three bills.

Depending on when the bills land on his desk, they could be signed before the end of the Session in mid March. The bills will become effective on July 1.
