I am still pretty angry about this. I'm far from a sovereign citizen, and there are tons of laws I disagree with.
What really really pisses me off is the government not living up to their end of the deal. The entire point of laws is to point to something that we are all held to. That includes the government. And this might seem like a slight inconvenience, but what it really is is a show of judicial incompetence at best, and willful intent to deprive me of my rights at worst. And I'm not going to fucking stand for it. |

Really interested to see how each county differs in their procedure. In PWC it's the clerk of court that handles most all of it. She even signs the permits (we recently went to the hard plastic cards, finally ).

Interesting thread. I just dropped my renewal application at the Fairfax Courthouse this AM.
In the new form there is a question 8. P. Where you state yes or no if you taken an in person class or training for competency with a handgun. I stated yes on the form, but did not attach anything as requested by question 9. There are also signs up near the civil intake section of the courthouse that if you have an outdated SP-248 you will have to refill out the correct form (assuming they added these in after those laws pass). Hilariously, it even says on the form that question 9 is only required for initial permits. See the snip below. Attached File I will say, minus the TSA would be proud strip search to enter the courthouse (shoes, belt, hat, jacket, and everything in your pockets), everyone from the front desk lady to the lady who processed my form were very polite and friendly. Should be interesting if mine is denied in the same manner. Supposed to send it in 45 days before expiration, I am a little late if I only count business days (1 week late), but 20 some days early if not counting business days. Guess we will roll dice :D. Good luck Whiskers. |

Thanks, Whiskers, for what you are doing.
I, too, have been a VA CCW holder for many years-here in Fairfax County. Every time I renew (on time), they send my new card back as late as the law will allow. I assume this is just to F with me. I'm up for renewal in Jan. 2025, so this is a good reminder for the judge to learn the law. My experiences attending Fairfax County Board meetings in the turbulent 2019-20 period really opened my eyes as to how much these people despise, and are diametrically opposed to, us. I remember fondly Ben's address to the Board, which they were dismissive of. You're right. We have to keep up the fight. |

The appeal will probably be heard in Richmond.
I'm not sure if this goes to Va. Court of Appeals, or directly to Va. Supreme Court. If the latter then for sure Richmond. Court of Appeals (3-justice-panel) sometimes hears appelate argument in the main office in Richmond, and sometimes they travel to hear cases somewhat local to the parties. If it goes en banc, they rarely travel. Interesting piece of irrelevant Virginia geography trivia: When you are in the western counties of Virginia, you're longitudinally WEST OF DETROIT, and you are closer to six other states' Capitals than you are to Richmond. Or maybe its nine. Somehow I'm always confused about that. But its AT LEAST six. Now here's a mindfuck for you: If the Circuit Court judge stands by his ruling, then who represents "the Commonwealth" on the appeal? The State Attorney General? - That's the guy who wrote a legal opinion (A.G. opinions being worth less than the paper they're written on), who said this bullshit is bullshit. The Commonwealth's Attorney for Fairfax County? I'm kind of ignorant on appelate procedure. Pretty much only up to speed on trash-pickup ordinances. |
