Both past Attornies General, along with the current Republican nominee for Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, have all opposed banning private sales of guns at gun shows while supporting repealof the Virginia ban on concealed carry in restaurants serving alcohol.But not Democratic AG nominee Steve Shannon – this Northern Virginia lawyer is sticking to his gun control.
. . .
But what irks gun rights organizers the most is Shannon’s lack of any articulable policy rationale for his positions.
“Insisting that we need to fix something that doesn’t exist does not stir gun owners to support candidates” said Philip Van Cleave, President of the Virginia citizens Defense League, speaking about the alleged gun show loophole.
“Freedom is the loophole that Shannon really wants to close, and come on,” added Van Cleave, “why would anyone choose to force open carry in a public restaurant?”
