URGENT URGENT URGENT!!!

Time is extremely short and we must act now to override Governor
Kaine's vetoes of SB 476 and SB 436!

I am seeing one furious email after another and we need to take that
energy and channel it into getting Kaine's vetoes overridden.

Also, you probably do NOT want patronize the Richbrau restaurant in
downtown Richmond. Pass the word to friends, family, and coworkers.

The owner is EXTREMELY anti-gun and was on the news again today saying
that he was glad that the Governor vetoed HB 476.

That same owner has been fighting against your rights year after year.

He loves to point out the bad affects of alcohol whenever the
restaurant ban repeal is discussed. But he clearly has no problem
serving plenty of booze to his customers before they get in their cars
and drive off.

So gun owners who don't drink alcohol are dangerous by just being in
close proximity to alcohol, but drivers who Richbrau serves alcohol to
are OK and are NOT dangerous?

Sounds like he might want to lay off the hard stuff himself.

I have already emailed my Senator, my Delegate, and that guy we call Governor :banghead:

I emailed everyone too, even before I saw this thread.

Of course, I got the generic cookie-cutter insult-of-a-response from each one that did nothing to address my concerns anyway. Not like I ever really expected any of them to actually sent a personal response to a constituant anyway.

Everytime I read about the veto on the restaurant ban, I get more and more angry. How in the hell can anybody with any amount of education see that Kaine's rationale for vetoing it is completely and utterly misguided. If he actually believes that people will be safer and lives will be saved if law-abiding citizens are disarmed or forced to openly carry (but, open carry is better than no carry), then I have nothing left as far as hope for our state and country political systems. All that remains is purified despair.

Emails sent. I'm not happy about this, especially coming from gun-friendly Florida!!!

I CCWed in all sorts of places that served alcohol. I've never seen any report of a problem resulting from a CCW holder carrying in a restaurant in all of Florida. Heck, you can legally drink and carry down there! (Not recommended, of course.)
