Herring announced the dramatic change in policy late last December, arguing that the other states\u2019 permitting processes were less restrictive and not valid by Virginia standards. Not only does this new deal restore the previous reciprocity agreement, it further extends it to recognize concealed-carry permits from all issuing states.<\/p>\n<p>In exchange for expanded concealed-carry reciprocity Republican lawmakers extended the reach of the state&#8217;s police to enforce existing federal laws that prevent people convicted of violent domestic abuse from buying or owning guns. This is in line with what many gun rights groups have been asking for, further upsetting gun control groups.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGov. McAuliffe should reconsider this dangerous gift to the gun lobby,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/local\/virginia-politics\/va-gun-safety-activists-feel-betrayed-by-mcauliffes-gift-to-the-gun-lobby\/2016\/01\/29\/72603778-c6a2-11e5-a4aa-f25866ba0dc6_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"reciprocity-restored-concealed-carry-in-virginia-may-get-even-better\" title=\"Reciprocity Restored: Concealed-Carry in Virginia May Get Even Better\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said John Feinblatt<\/a>, president of Everytown for Gun Safety.

McAuliffe also argued that the trooper would help prevent illegal gun sales simply by being present at the shows.<\/p>\n<p>In an attempt to strike while the iron was hot, Senator Richard H. Black (R) brought a bill to the floor that would eliminate concealed-carry permit requirements altogether, making Virginia <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/local\/virginia-politics\/yes-virginia-can-still-fight-about-guns\/2016\/02\/01\/80982e22-c90e-11e5-88ff-e2d1b4289c2f_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"reciprocity-restored-concealed-carry-in-virginia-may-get-even-better\" title=\"Reciprocity Restored: Concealed-Carry in Virginia May Get Even Better\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a Constitutional-carry state<\/a>.
