Please correct me here if I am wrong, but doesn't Virginia have laws in place that prohibit any authorities from attempting to confiscate private arms such as the unconscionable acts we saw play out in New Orleans after Katrina? And that any such attempts can be resisted by the people since they would be illegal?
I suspect that many shelters would wind up in schools, hence the invocation of the ridiculous federal intrusion into our rights. What else might you be able to add that would help any members who might find themselves in a disaster area?
Information of this nature is most helpful to folks who might otherwise not be fully knowledgeable of whatever laws exist regarding arms and the bearing of them.
Thanks and best of luck to you and other members down there this weekend. The one I remember most was Hazel in 1954.
Yes and no.
If I'm not mistaken that is only for government run shelters.
Many are private shelters set up in churches and other private properties and the law may not apply.
Maybe someone that's done some research can comment. I wouldn't go to one under any circumstance so I didn't keep up with the bill.
