Virginia: Senate Passes Three Pro-Gun Bills, Sending Two to the Governor

[Gunco]

Today, the Virginia Senate took action on four pro-gun bills previously passed by the House of Delegates.  Of particular note, was the Senate passage of House Bill 48 by a 24 to 16 vote. This bill was amended by the Senate Courts of Justice Committee to address concerns that HB 48 would negatively impact your right to self-defense.
