Don't see that the participants in a cause or on a forum change the laws/statutes that govern us.As almost everyone has mentioned, different people or groups may rank the States in different order. Recently, I did my own "unprofessional" ranking, and had Virginia around 17 or 18, not 21. Virginia may have been a leader at one time, but let's face it, it has slipped. In my opinion, it is partially due to those OCer's in Virginia exhibiting a somewhat superior view on this forum that "they know best." By telling us what is important and what is not, they overlook the suggestions made by all of us to achieve "Constitutional Carry" based on the wording in the 2nd Amendment. Don't get me wrong; we should all be indebted to those in Virginia who have done so much for the cause. But as in politics, the office seems to change the person more than the other way around.
Constitutional Carry may be the holy grail, but it is not the purpose of this forum. OCDO is is about normalizing every day OC as we good about our regular, daily routines. Little importance is placed on CC, except as a personal option.
Insofar as Virginian's having a "superior view" and "knowing what is best", I'd say that you are probably right in instances concerning Va laws and their effect on us. Who else would you listen to on this.....someone from *over there?*
BTW - the owners of this site are both attorney's living in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Add to that the VCDL is arguably the leader/model for most all other state level grassroots RKBA organizations.
Virginian's walk tall!
