So 2013 is not too far away. I was wondering if there is a central website where all the proposed legislation to be considered in the VA 2013 legislative season can be found. If it's not up yet, when is it published?
VCDL usually sets up a website for the gun-related bills, but it is still rather early for that. Most legislators have not yet submitted their bills. Usually December is when they start to show up.So 2013 is not too far away.

VCDL has not officially released the organizations legislative agenda yet. Many things are a work in progress and it is too early to make their status publicly known.
Keep in mind that 2013 will be a short session for the GA with everything compressed into a few weeks, so some new items may not get a full review. Nevertheless, it will be an interesting and stimulating session.
Be patient and stand by - there's more to come.
So far.. guns not really talked about...

Once we get Ken Cuccinelli in office then we can really talk firearms.

Skid's right. After all, it was Ken who advised state colleges that their "policies" to exclude guns from campuses didn't have the force of law, but a "regulation" (which they could implement without fanfare) did.Do not count on it, grasshopper.
Ken has been "kind" to our cause most of the time because the law was on our side. There have been a few exceptions to that. Most have been minor enough that most folks seem to have given him a pass - sort of like they have given Eric Cantor a pass for not telling the 7th Congressional District Committee that he does not want them to exclude folks with guns from the Republican Roundup and to go find a different venue.
It is a test of just how sigle-issue one is. Or how much one is willing to compromise while knowing that eventually that mile will be taken (often with force).
stay safe.

And he pointed out that "state agencies" aren't bound by preemption.
His efforts to "clear things up" have muddied the water more than once. We may need to "talk firearms" just to keep things as they are.

Comedy on OCDO. Ken Cuccinelli is already in office, and it hasn't worked out that great for gun rights. "Screwed by the cooch" is what is often said here about the man. He is no "Toll Booth Bob", but he is another reason to look to the libertarians for real firearms rights in Virginia.
However, he did offer an opinion on the wisdom of promulgating such regulations (by universities), in that they would only serve to disarm the law-abiding. All state run institutions of higher learning do not appear to have jumped on this bandwagon (yet).Skid's right.

Ken was asked one of these questions, and actually answered both when he said that self defense was a good and sufficient reason to carry into place of worship.Sorry, but the blame for what the AG has done by way of opinions should not fall only on the AG. Asking the right question, phrased the right way, at the right time, has a lot to do with getting the answer you were hoping for.
Two priests both submit questions to the Bishop: A) "is it permitted to smoke while praying?" and B) "is it permitted to pray while smoking?".
A gets told "No" in absolute terms. B gets patted on the head and reminded that prayer is good at all times. Guess who gets to keep on puffing away?
We have had too many folks asking their elected representatives to ask the AG if it is permitted to smoke while praying.
stay safe.
