Senate Finance Kills Lifetime Carry Permits

Yesterday, the Senate Finance Committee killed one pro-rights bill and one anti-rights bill saying the Commonwealth did not have enough money to pay for either bill.  No fee had been attached to the lifetime carry bill so the committee was not dealing with a revenue stream from the permits, only a cost to periodically check backgrounds after to make sure the holder was still eligible.  The anti-rights bill killed was SB943, a bill that would take away for gun rights for certain misdemeanor crimes.  I had the opportunity to discuss both with Cam Edwards on NRANews.com.
