Just got a phone call from one of Cuccinelli's staffers to make sure I was going to attend the convention. The message was that "they are continuing to work on the 'gun' issue, and are aware that many delegates are coincerned about it."
I'm glad that is on their radar. Telling me they support the Second Amendment but that I can't exercise it during the convention is unacceptable.
Their continuing to work on the gun issue is meaningless fence sitting.
The Coliseum is city property - state preemption - end of story.
Yata hey
I just got off the phone with my souper-seekret RPV contact.
Allison Cokie (sp?), who is the RPV Executive Director, and Pat Mullins, who is the Acting RPV Chairman, have been in touch by letter and by phone with folks at City Parks & Rec, and the property management firm in attempts to get the firearms issue clarified [meaning understand that state preemption law is the controlling factor] and ensure thatboth are aware of the Norfolk Waterside decision and the legal basis for that ruling.
While there is nothing absolute that can be pointed to, it seems that Parks & Rec and the property management firm are now informed that they have no legal leg to stand on if they try to enforce the "no firearms" policy.
Anyone who wants to check with Allison or Pat on the status of progress during the weekcan call them at 780-0111.
stay safe.
