I was looking at the code for the town of Louisa....I was board and discovered the following preempted law still on the books.
§ 113-33. Carrying concealed weapons.
A. If any person carries about his person, hid from common observation, any pistol or any other firearm or weapon designed or intended to propel a missile of any kind, a dirk, bowie knife, switchblade knife, razor, slingshot, metal knucks or any weapon of like kind or nun chahka or any other similar flailing instrument consisting of two or more rigid parts connected in such a manner as to allow them to swing freely, which instrument may also be known as a "nunchuck" or "nunchaku" or a shuriken, fighting chain or any weapon of like kind, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable as provided in § 1-12, General penalty, and such weapon shall be forfeited to the Town as may be seized by an officer as forfeited, and such as may be needed for police officers, conservators of the peace and the division of consolidated laboratory services shall be devoted to that purpose, and the remainder shall be destroyed by the officer having them in charge.
B. This section shall not apply to any police officers, sergeants, sheriffs, officers or guards of the penitentiary or other institutions or camps of the state corrections system, to conservators of the peace other than notaries public, to carriers of United States mail in the rural districts while in the discharge of their official duties or to any person while in his own place of abode.
C. Any circuit court, upon a written application and satisfactory proof of the good character and necessity of the applicant to carry concealed weapons, may grant permission so to do for one year. The order granting such permission shall be entered in the law order book of such court.
Who do I report this to get it removed? I know people on here have done it in the past in other areas of the state. Additionally, due to my work hours it is impossible or me to make it to a town meeting to bring it up. I know that some here would argue that the work excuse is a cop-out but I need to keep the roof over the family since I am the only bread winner. I have no problem sending letters or making calls to try to correct it is just that I don’t know where to start.... I am a VCDL member and don't know who in VCDL would this go to or if it should.
