Pro-gun group questions Chesterfield principal
BY LOUIS LLOVIO Richmond Times-Dispatch
The leader of a Virginia pro-gun group is taking exception with Thomas Dale High School Principal Pam Lumsden for sending a letter to parents saying guns aren’t allowed on the Chesterfield County school’s grounds — even inside vehicles.
“As the president of the Virginia Citizens Defense League, a gun rights organization, I need to point out that Ms. Lumsden’s recent statement that parents cannot have firearms in the vehicles on school property is totally false under Virginia law,” Philip Van Cleave wrote in an email to the school.
The Statist Tool responds accordingly:
Shawn Smith, a school system spokesman, said in an email Tuesday that “with very limited and narrow exceptions not applicable in most situations, guns are not allowed on school property or in vehicles on school property.”
Under state law, there are eight exceptions when a gun or other weapon is allowed on school property, including when carried by law enforcement or when used for a school activity. A knife used for food preparation also is allowed.
The law also includes provisions for a person who has a concealed handgun permit “and possesses a concealed handgun while in a motor vehicle in a parking lot, traffic circle, or other means of vehicular ingress or egress to the school.”
Outside of the exceptions, it is a Class 6 felony to have a gun on school grounds.
How about an exception for visible carry? Oh never mind.

These gun nuts won't be happy until every man, woman, and child is walking around with a gun on their hip like the wild west.

LOUIS LLOVIO Richmond Times-Dispatch, you meant to write "Pro-gun RIGHTS group", didn't you? I'm sure it was just a typo.

Norma- Please notice the button Philip Van Cleave is wearing in the photo; one would certainly be likely to believe that he's "pro-gun."

Barry Fitzgerald, I believe Norma was maybe talking about the deliberate act of leaving out the word "Rights", as in if it had been a statement from an advocate for gays, it would have been written that he was a pro-gay Rights Group, not a pro-gay group.
Someone once said that “Words have power. Words begin and end wars. They create and destroy families. They break hearts. They heal them. If you have the right words, there's nothing on earth you can't do."
I like the word "period", it "used" to have a ring of truth to it. Period.
