Let's collect "Virginia Bubba Laws!"

[Grapeshot]

In VA a cop can get an arrest warrant based purely on hearsay, without the witness making a sworn written statement.

oh wait, that one is true ....

It does help though if one is a bus driver w/xray vision and the LEO is his friend :cuss:

But does it only work in such a crisis emergency occurring TWO DAYS LATER?

I see you've been reading the same dime store serial novel. Can't wait until the last chapter is published.

Please tell me your kidding.... That isn't even funny....

Wouldn't that constitute "deprivation of civil rights under color of authority"? I know LEO can lie without violating a law, but I think this particular lie is a crime in and of itself.

You can't OC within 1000ft of school property, without a permission slip.

Probably not limited to VA.

Sadly, this is not a "bubba law", but is indeed an actual Federal Law.

It is rarely enforced, but it makes federal felons out of a significant number of people each and every day.

ETA: IMHO, it is the single most heinous federal law on the books, and should be the #1 priority for repeal by every gun organization in the country.

The law as written doesn't exempt Chp holders.. it requires something not required in VA and many other locations.

And until someone gets convicted soley on the law it is just a bubba law... As millions offer to be the test case as they ignore the law daily.....


But we do agree it needs gone yesterday.

Ya... I'd put this one in a different category, "ruling by holding a hammer over the heads of the people..." To me a "bubba law" is a law that does not actually exist, which is not the case for the GFSZA.

.....and when spoken by a LEO in a stop introduces "color of law."

Agree - a Bubba Law is a non-existent law quoted/paraphrased implying that it is valid and enforceable.

Do we give you (TFred) the recognition of having coined/invented this descriptor? I was unaware of it before this thread.

This is true. And it just goes to show the ignorance of those who author these laws. Sad thing is, we are the ones who reap their ignorance.

Well, I used it, and I hadn't heard it anywhere else before, so I guess I made it up. Firmly based on the idea of "basement rules" for Table Tennis, which abound and are just as incorrect as many Bubba Laws for guns. [Classic example of a "basement rule" of ping-pong, "the losing player always serves on game point". Nope, no such rule, the order of serve continues as normal until the game is over. ]
