Delegate Michael Webert will be the guest speaker at the 2016 VSSA Annual Meeting on September 17 at the Arlington-Fairfax IWLA. Delegate Webert's district includes Fauquier, Warren, Culpeper and Rappahannock counties. His day job is a farmer who runs a family farming operation on roughly 3500 acres of owned and rented land. During the 2016 session of the Virginia General Assembly, Delegate Webert sponsored House Bill 1163, one of three bills that was part of an agreement with Governor Terry McAuliffe to overturn Attorney General Mark Herring's December action ending concealed carry reciprocity and recognition agreements with 25 states. HB1163 requires the State Police Superintendent to enter into reciprocal arrangements with states that require the mutual recognition of concealed carry permits within 60 days of it’s enactment. The legislation also prohibits the recognition of an out of state permit if an individual’s Virginia permit has been revoked.
Also during the 2016 General Assembly, Delegate Webert sponsored and the Governor signed HB206. HB206 repeals the requirement that a Virginia resident present a secondary form of government issued identification to purchase a firearm. Under the new law, an individual would be required to provide only a single form of ID issued by a governmental agency of the Commonwealth or by the U.S. Department of Defense that indicates Virginia residency.

McAuliffe Vetoes Sustained
Yesterday really did not provide any surprises in the Reconvened Session of the 2016 General Assembly. McAuliffe vetoed 32 bills, including five firearm related House Bills and one Senate bill. One of the House vetoes and the companion Senate bill were not on yesterday's docket because they had been previously considered during the session when McAuliffe sent down an amendment in the nature of a substitute. The substitute was rejected by both the House and Senate and so the veto could not be considered yesterday.
The vetoes that were failed to be overridden yesterday were:
HB 382 Firearms; control by state agencies, rights of employees.
HB 560 Brandishing a firearm; intent to induce fear, etc., penalty.
HB 1096 Firearms; regulation by state entities prohibited.
HB 1234 School security officers; carrying a firearm.
The vetoes that could not be considered were:
HB 766 Concealed handguns; carrying with a valid protective order.
SB 626 Carrying concealed handguns; protective orders.
Overriding the vetoes were always going to be difficult as it would require at least one Democrat in the House and 6 Democrats in the Senate to oppose the Democrat Governor. In the House 67 votes are needed to override and in the State Senate 27 votes needed. There are 66 Republicans in the House and 21 in the Senate. The House fell one vote short on all of the bills in the House.
Delegate Scott Lingamfelter shared this photo on Facebook yesterday illustrating how the Governor politicized his vetoes.

McAuliffe Vetoes Bill Clarifying Law on Brandishing a Firearm
NBC 4 in Washington reports that Governor McAuliffe has vetoed HB 560, a bill that clarifies the law on brandishing a firearm. As passed, in order to receive a conviction, prosecutors would have to prove that an individual not only brandished a weapon, but also knew or should have known that his or her conduct induced fear in the mind of another person. McAuliffe thanks that is a bridge too far:
Making the change requested in this bill would create unintended consequences for prosecutors and law enforcement officers attempting to secure convictions for violators of this law,” said McAuliffe in another veto statement for House Bill 560.That's four separate vetoes of pro-gun bills. Clearly McAuliffe is trying to work himself back into the good graces of the gun ban lobby.
This proposed modification would unnecessarily burden our public safety officials and potentially create a defense for individuals who recklessly handle firearms," he said.

Another McAuliffe Veto - HB766/S626 Protecting Victims of Domestic Violence
Governor Terry McAuliffe has vetoed HB766 and SB626, bills that would have allowed anyone who had obtained a protective order to carry a concealed handgun for 45 days without having to go through the normal permit-application and training process. The person would have to be eligible to possess a firearm. Those who apply for a concealed handgun permit (CHP) during that 45-day period could have received a 45-day extension.
Calling the legislation "a very, very dangerous gamble that will lead to more tragedies," McAuliffe said the bills "may have been well-intentioned" but would make it easier for deadly firearms to be inserted into volatile situations where the gun could be turned against the person who sought it for protection.McAuliffe had already tried to amend the bills by sending down a substitute before the end of the session but both the House of Delegates and the State Senate rejected the substitute bill, which would have required the victim to have already applied for a CHP and received training, thus requiring the victim to know ahead of time they were going to need, and be issued a protective order. In addition, the victim would not have been allowed to utilize the online training option that every other CHP applicant has the option of using. The House, after defeating the substitute then passed the original bill again by a 2/3 margin and sent it to the Senate. Unfortunately, the Senate failed to muster the required 2/3 majority to pass the original bill into law over the Governor's objections. The House and Senate will have one more chance when the legislature reconvenes to take up vetoes and amendments.

McAuliffe Vetos Gun Bills That Would Overturn Executive Order 50
Late yesterday, Governor Terry McAuliffe vetoed House Bill 1096, which would reverse elements of the governor’s executive order that bans the possession of firearms in Virginia executive branch office buildings. He also vetoed House Bill 382, which would bar state agencies — other than the Department of Corrections, the Department of Juvenile Justice, the Virginia Port Authority and institutions of higher education — from adopting regulations preventing employees from storing a lawfully possessed firearm and ammunition in a locked private personal vehicle at their workplace.
According to the Richmond Times Dispatch, the Governor's veto statement said:
According to the Richmond Times Dispatch, the Governor's veto statement said:
“As governor, I am the chief personnel officer of the state workforce,” McAuliffe said in vetoing the measure.The Richmond Times Dispatch reported this morning that the state GOP accused McAuliffe of being "inconsistent" on gun laws but McAuliffe was consistent on the issues addressed in these bills. He said at the start of the session that he would veto any legislation that undid his earlier actions in this area and he did exactly what he said. Neither bill passed with enough votes to override a veto but gun owners should let their voice be heard to their legislators so they know gun owners do not support McAuliffe's vetoes.
“I believe there is a need to establish and enforce workplace violence prevention policies that focus on employee safety and an atmosphere of workplace safety.
“An essential component of workplace violence prevention is the regulation of the possession, brandishing, or use of weapons on-site and during work-related activities. Our current state policy is aligned with and reinforces this best practice.”

Legislative Update
As the General Assembly races toward its final two weeks, bills continue to be heard in committee and heard on the floor. Most importantly, both the House and the Senate have sent to Governor McAuliffe the legislation tied to the deal to overturn Mark Herring's December action ending concealed carry permit recognition with 25 states. The bills included in that deal that are now on the Governor's desk is:
House Bill 1163 and Senate Bill 610, patroned by Delegate Michael Webert (R-18) and state Senator Bryce Reeves (R-17), would recognize all valid out-of-state concealed carry permits. This legislation would also require the Virginia State Police to enter into reciprocal agreements with certain states so they will recognize Virginia’s concealed carry permit.
House Bill 1386 and Senate Bill 715, patroned by Delegate Scott Lingamfelter (R-31) and state Senator John Edwards (D-21), would require the Virginia State Police to attend gun shows in the Commonwealth and provide voluntary background checks for private transfers between attendees. These voluntary background checks act as an important safeguard for sellers because they provide civil liability protection.
House Bill 1391 and Senate Bill 49, patroned by Delegate Kathleen Murphy (D-34) and state Senator Janet Howell (D-32), would make it unlawful for any person who is subject to a domestic violence permanent protective order to possess any firearm while the order is in effect.
The Governor has until February 29th to act on the legislation. He has indicated he will sign the bills.
In other action of interest to gun owners, last night, after a delay due to a tornado warning, Senate Courts of Justice took action on the following bills:

HB206 Transfer of certain firearms; identification requirement. Allows Virginia residents to purchase a firearm by presenting only one photo-identification form issued by a governmental agency of the Commonwealth or by the U.S. Department of Defense that demonstrates that the prospective purchaser resides in Virginia. The bill provides that a member of the armed forces whose photo identification issued by the Department of Defense does not have a Virginia address may establish his Virginia residency with such photo identification and permanent orders assigning the purchaser to a duty post, including the Pentagon, in Virginia or his Leave and Earnings Statement. Current law requires photo identification and another document that establishes residency, such as a lease or utility bill, and that includes an address that matches the photo identification.
HB382 Control of firearms by state agencies; rights of employees. Prohibits state agencies within the executive branch other than the Virginia Port Authority from adopting any regulation or workplace rule preventing officers or employees of such agencies from storing a lawfully possessed firearm and ammunition in a locked private motor vehicle at their workplace.

HB783 Brandishing a firearm; law-enforcement officer; penalty.

HB810 Transfer of assault weapon; proof of citizenship. Makes consistent the type of identification and other documentation that a purchaser of a firearm must present when purchasing any type of firearm from a licensed dealer by removing the additional requirement for the purchase of an assault weapon that a person who purchases such a weapon must present proof of citizenship. The bill does not alter the provisions prohibiting the sale of assault firearms to noncitizens who have not been lawfully admitted for permanent residence. Reported to the full Senate
HB1087 Violation of protective order; firearm or other deadly weapon; penalty. Provides that any person who violates any provision of certain protective orders while armed with a firearm or other deadly weapon is guilty of a Class 6 felony. Reported from Senate Courts and rereferred to Finance

The bill allows entities to adopt or enforce rules or regulations necessary for compliance with the Fire Prevention Code or necessary for the operation of Reserve Officer Training Corps programs. The bill expressly authorizes the Board of Game and Inland Fisheries to create certain regulations governing the possession, carrying, transportation, and storage of firearms, ammunition, or components or combinations thereof. This bill incorporates HB 593. - Amended and reported to the full Senate

Legislative Update for February 18
Wednesday was Crossover which marks the halfway point of the General Assembly. There are no bad bills remaining though a number of good bills died too. At the start of the session VSSA's goal was to address the concealed carry reciprocity issue and the legislative team believes the agreement worked out with the Governor is a big win for gun owners because it actually expands reciprocity while not mandating background checks on private sales at gun shows but provides a mechanism for gun owners who want to use the option of a background check on a prospective buyer. The legislative team will continue to monitor the progress to make sure nothing changes as the gun ban lobby is still trying to push McAuliffe to make changes to the agreement.
The Senate versions of the three bills making up the agreement between Governor Terry McAuliffe and GOP leadership to overturn AG Mark Herring's December action are all before the full House of Delegates and will likely win final approval in Friday. The House versions were reported out of Senate Courts on Wednesday and should also win final approval by Friday.
