But I think, in particular some of the work I did, broke the back of the anti-gun movement.
I have had a confrontation, back when I was 18 years old, I came home and there was a burglar in the house and I chased him out the window with a snake hook. He pulled a knife and we had a running knife fight and, eventually, he tried to slip through a hedge and lost his focus, which is something you never do in a knife fight, and I was able to swing with full force and I drove the snake hook about four inches in his shoulder.

I almost stopped there.
I did stop there. First of all, I am guessing that the man is unaware that there is no statute of limitations on felonies in Virginia. Second, absent a statement indicating his realization at some point afterwards that his conduct was at least ill-advided, if not an admission of knowing it was illegal, I cannot see supporting someone for a position in the General Assembly who flouts breaking the law.
stay safe.
Just another flake Skid. We get one or two that profess to be Pro when they're really just loud, every election.
Besides, we have enough "Dicks" in the legislature already.:lol:
Snarky comments about a decorated war hero regarding an incident that occured more than 40 years ago. How nice.
Sorry you don't like it "Young Fellow"!
I wasn't the one bragging about committing a felony 40 years ago nor was I the one that said "I enacted preemption", or ducking the question about eliminating sovereign immunity.
I'd say..."He killed the Bar".
Regarding preemption, see below, unless, of course, you'd like to say that VCDL was duped, since they have consistantly endorsed him over the years.

Regarding the supposed felony, why don't you call the Commonwealth's Attorney and report it to them and see what they have to say since you and a couple of others are so sure there was a crime committed? While we're at it, you do have the incident report, right? You do know the disposition of the case, right?
I occasionally don't agree with VCDL's endorsements. Bob McDonnell is a good example.
As for the rest of it, you brought him up, he did an article and bragged about skeletons that should have stayed in his closet, and you're whining about it isn't going to change my opinion.
I didn't "whine" about anything. However, you are correct, nothing would ever change your opinion. Just for the record, I don't consider what he said to be a "skeleton", either. The fact also remains that you can't refute what he did for preemption no matter how hard you try.
I’m concerned, and I don’t have the exact solution to it, but in Virginia, and we’re a Dillon Rule State, and I was the person who enacted the pre-emption law, which really broke the back of the anti-gun forces in Virginia. And, basically what it did was, it swept away 40 years of local anti-gun regulations, but some of them still remain on the books, even though they’re not effective. In fact, there are some places where you have individual supervisors who will offer up new gun regulations and they get them passed sometimes. They’re totally illegal. I don’t know the solution, but we need to come up with a solution to county boards of supervisors that enact legislation in clear defiance of State law. We’re seeing this also with other types of law, but gun laws are among the top and I think there needs to be some effective remedy and perhaps something that reimburses groups like VCDL or Gun Owners of America or NRA or any of them,-- reimburses them the legal fees when they challenge these unlawful regulations.
I'm not trying to do anything Vann!
He didn't "Enact" preemption. I just stated a fact.
In contrast to Peter Nap, I am going to stand by my accusation. There's no need for someone to be convicted in order to accuse them of committing a felony. That's why it's called an accusation. Nice try, Vann. Almost as good as trying to use Mr. Black's war decorations as some indication of why he should be honored for everything that he did/does since receiving the medal(s). Or the "trick" of referring to him as "Colonel Black". He's freaking retired, and was not retired as a general officer, thus not, per FM 7-21.13, entitled to an honorific.
As for whether or not it's a felony? Lets look: http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+18.2-51 and
http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+18.2-51.2 both seem to fit the circumstances as related by the gentleman, do they not?
And then just to carry the question about the man's rationality into play -- he follows a person who is in the process of fleeing from an attempted break-in, while armed, based on the potentiality and the manner in which he is using the snake hook, with a deadly weapon with the apparent intent to inflict deadly force on the felling individual by striking and driving said snake hook in the fleeing individual. What, Mr. Vann, do you teach in your CCW classes about chasing folks and about shooting (at) them when they are fleeing from the scene? Would you say there is any meaningful difference between chasing after and shooting at a fleeing person and chasing after a fleeing person and attacking them with a snake hook? If so, just what distinction do you make?
stay safe.
suppose all this kept up on the blogs, day after day and folks kept voicing their opinions about you, without knowing all the facts or even caring about the facts? They didn't care because all they wanted to do was destroy you. Not so nice is it?
Welcome to politics in present day America.
If your candidate can't take it, then he really has no place in running for any office where you are subjected to public opinion on a daily (if not hourly) basis; both pro and con.
If you, as a booster for the candidate cannot deal with conflicting points of views and opinions, you should probably rethink your decision to use the internet in general.
