Figures!
I was on my way to the 5:00 when I got a call that they had taken my son to the hospital, so I would have missed the thing anyway.

Dang it -- I say!!!

Virginia: Sunday Hunting Tabled for Remainder
of 2012 Legislative Session

"Today, the state House Natural Resources Subcommittee tabled Senate Bill 464 for the rest of this current legislative session. SB 464, sponsored by state Senator Ralph Northam (D-6), would have allowed hunting on private land and public waterways on Sundays.

Currently, Virginia is one of only six states in the country that strictly bans hunting on Sunday. This prohibition threatens the very future of our hunting heritage by discouraging hunter recruitment and retention. In addition, this antiquated ban harms Virginia’s economy."

Retrieved 2/15/2010 from http://nraila.org/legislation/state...r-of-2012-legislative-session.aspx?s=&st=&ps=

And so on...

Yep!

This Committee is my Death Star.
Every year when a bill comes in to increase penalties for hunting without permission, it dies in the AGC Committee or a sub.
