Urge VA Legislative Override of Gun Vetos

If you live in Virginia, please join me in urging your VA Senator or Delegate to vote to override Governor Kaine's veto of the following good bills at
http://www2.vcdl.org/cgi-bin/wspd_cgi.sh/vcdl/reflector.html?REF=MySenator&PRE=09-SenOverRide

As a constituent, I urge you to override Governor Kaine's gun-bill vetoes:

SB 1035, Senator Hanger, restores the ability for concealed handgun permit holders to carry concealed in restaurants that serve alcohol as long as they don't drink. Prior to 1995, and without incident, permit holders were able to carry in such restaurants. Restaurants will still have to option to post "no guns" signs if they wish to do so.

HB 1851, Delegate Lingamfelter, exempts active duty military from One Handgun a Month.

SB 1528, Senator Cuccinelli, clarifies that on-line training is acceptable for getting a concealed carry permit. This bill was vetoed because the Governor mistakenly thought that concealed carry permits required some kind of written test. They don't and never have!

HB 2528, Delegate Cole, gives localities the option of selling guns in a "buy-up" to licensed dealers. The Governor mistakenly vetoed the bill because he thought it forbade localities from destroying such guns. As it passed both Houses it does NOT!
