On Monday, February 18, the Virginia House Militia, Police and Public Safety Committee passed two critically important self-defense measures.
Senate Bill 436, sponsored by State Senator Jill Vogel (R-27), passed by a vote of 17-4 and will allow law-abiding, non-concealed carry permit holders to store a handgun in a locked compartment or container in their personal vehicles or boats.
Senate Bill 476, authored by State Senator Emmett Hanger (R-24), will allow restaurant owners to decide if they will allow Right-to-Carry permit holders to carry a firearm for self-defense in their restaurants. SB476 passed by a vote of 16-5.
Both of these bills represent significant advances in an ongoing effort to protect and enhance Virginia’s self-defense statutes.
These bills will likely be considered by the full House in the very near future. Please contact your Delegate and strongly encourage him or her to protect your right to self-defense by supporting and voting for SB436 and SB476!
