crime down in VA bars and restaurants

just got my VCDL alert and PVC was referring to this article;

http://www2.timesdispatch.com/news/...e-drops-at-virginia-bars-and-rest-ar-1237278/

was wanting to comment on the fact that open carry was legal before CC.

I guess crime is down in Virginia bars since there aren't any in the state.

McEachin once again opens mouth and inserts foot.

State Sen. A. Donald McEachin, D-Henrico, who was a strong opponent of the law, said it's not clear what conclusions can be drawn from just a year's worth of data.

"Most folks obey the law, and that's a good thing," said McEachin, who remains staunchly opposed. "But I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out that just like drinking and driving doesn't mix, guns and drinking don't mix."

Maybe somebody should read the law that was passed to him as obviously he doesn't understand that if you concealed carry you can not drink.

And to think citizens of Virginia re-elect a man with such bad reading comprehension skills. What are they thinking?

Isn't he the one that made the statement about it turning into the wild wild west?

Don't hold your breath.

Van Cleave believes he and other supporters of the law deserve an apology — especially those who "screamed the end of the world was coming with this."

"At some point," Van Cleave said, "it would be nice to have some of them admit that they were wrong, that they didn't see any of the horrible things that they thought were going to happen."

LOL Like that will EVER happen.

Oh, agreed. But why let them walk away unscathed?
