Today at 10:00 a.m. Governor Kaine will be on WTOP's Ask the Governor program. You can call in and ask him a question on the air, or you can submit a question online right here. We need to hold his feet to the fire about his double standard regarding "guns in bars." Here is the question I submitted:
Everyone knows your beliefs on guns and alcohol, and that's why you vetoed SB 476 (which would have allowed concealed handgun permit holders who are trained, checked and tested, to take their weapon with them into a restaurant as long as they didn't drink and they notified a designated person that they were armed), yet you signed into law SB 776 which specifically allows Commonwealth attorneys to carry a concealed handgun without passing the tests and background checks that common citizens do, AND this bill, now a law, allows them to carry concealed in a bar AND to drink alcohol. I would like to know why you signed SB 776 into law.
FOLLOWUP QUESTION: Now that you know that Commonwealth attorneys are allowed to drink while armed under this law, is there any way you can reverse it to prevent this double standard?
