It won’t get anywhere near a lawsuit. VCDL won’t file suit and doesn’t need to. The will file for a writ of mandamus and it will be granted. They have done it before and never been quashed. And the action is usually quick.

Men on this site need to get used to two things;

Winning, and fighting.

I get people are butthurt, and it's really easy to complain on the internet and say "lawfare" and do nothing.

So do something. I can't afford this, I don't care. OH NO THE ECONOMY ISN'T GOOD RIGHT NOW. Who gives a flying shit? Put that shit on a credit card, because if YOU don't do it no one will.

I understand people sometimes are in bad places, and I can understand that. This place has proven it to me, many times over.

But if YOU, yourself are not willing to fight your own battles, then (most respectfully) fuck you. Your government is a direct representation of YOU. I do not expect a random Georgian to send me money. It's not his fight. It's my fight. I don't expect someone from Faquier County to send me money, their county isn't retarded. My county is retarded.

I'm going to win. Virginia is going to win. The judge is wrong and what he is asking for is illegal

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, forget everything you've seen on television and in the movies. There's not going to be any last-minute surprise witnesses, nobody is going to break down on the stand with a tearful confession. You're going to be presented with simple fact. WhiskersTheCat was illegally denied his permit.

You'll hear two explanations for why he was illegally denied his permit, ours and theirs. It is up to you to sift through layer upon layer of truth until you determine for yourselves which version sounds the most true. There are certain points which I must prove to you.

Point number one, WhiskersTheCat was. . .is a retarded shitposter. Point number two, WhiskersTheCat, afflicted with a debilitating disease, made the understandable, the personal, the legal choice to keep the fact of his illness to himself.

Point number three, his employers discovered his illness, and ladies and gentlemen, the illness I am referring to is freedom.

Point number four, they panicked. And in their panic, they did what most of us would like to do with freedom, which is just get it, and everybody who has it, as far away from the rest of us as is possible. Now, the behavior of WhiskersTheCat's county may seem reasonable to you. It does to me. After all, freedom is a deadly, incurable disease. But no matter how you come to judge Fairfax County and their partners, in ethical, moral, and in human terms, the fact of the matter is, when they denied WhiskersTheCat because he loved freedom they broke the law.

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors unconscionable posture toward gun owners certainly doesn't help. But to be clear, the Circuit Court Judge takes no orders from the Board of Supervisors.

Arguably, the "supplemental salary payment" - over and above the base-rate paid to the various constitutional officers in Fairfax, and paid by the Fairfax County Government, might suggest that those officers (Judges, Sheriff Dept., Commonwealth's Attorneys, etc.) could be beholden to the County Governmnent. In my experience, I don't find that to be a fact.

All Circuit Court Judges in Virginia are appointed by majority-vote of the respective houses of the General Assembly. The county government, and the citizens of the county have no say in judicial appointments.

The "curious" interpretation of the Judge in this case is surely a function of his own opinion of what the law will allow him to do.

I suspect this will - in fact - require litigation.
I don't see the judge in this matter taking the posture of admitting mistake. The Attorney General Opinion will only make him more entrenched in his position.
You can be sure he knew exactly what he was doing when he did it, and he 100% believes the law allows him to do it.

You wanted a show? - Yes, there will be a show.

‘71-‘81, you could already see the seeds of the shitshow Fairfax County was going to fully blossom into… We’re going to run out of spots to run to at some point. Stay/start the fight now with the legal tools.

Thank you, Sir, for fighting the good fight!

ETA: I just read through the rest of the thread and a meet-up/show of support on the court date could possibly make a positive media event. At least it probably won’t be so damn cold this time.

It very well could be. Friday I submitted my application for a renewal as well so it will be fun to see if they do the same thing to me (I also did not attach any supporting documents with it about in person training)

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.

https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/476519/sp248_snip_PNG-3185759.JPG

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.

DK. Exactly my thought process. I figured if I clicked no it would instant denial so I did yes and then just left 9 blank as stated.

I personally used a hunter safety course (that was in person) in 2019 when I applied but the rules were much more lax back then. So we shall see what happens.

I have been meaning to get off my ass and go to an actual pistol class anyway this year so if they deny it it might be a good excuse to go do one. That being said I'm with whiskers it's a renewal so I shouldn't have to provide anything.

I was also thinking this when up at the counter. The "renewal" of the permit makes u go to window 319 which is new civil intake. When I did an address change on my old permit I went to 320 which was existing civil intake. So I am now wondering if they are treating everything as initial since it's initial for the 2024 case year......even though it is a renewal of the permit.

Honestly this may just come down to the judge misreading the form.... in the top right you check initial or renewal so they might have just missed that. Oh well should be interesting to see what mine does.

Yes. Online classes are no longer accepted for new permits in VA. Legally it doesn't matter for a renewal, but some counties have been unlawfully denying people who don't show proof of in person training.

The certificate I have doesn't really say anything about what training I got. Only that it met VA's requirement when I took it over a decade ago. I let my permit expire because I'm a dummy and forgot about it. And when I went to renew had to basically apply all over again and my old cert was accepted. I'm guessing because they saw I had previously held a permit which is called out by the law as being ok.

Stafford county though. The permit only took 11 days total to get to me.

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.

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.


I am kind of curious about this.

Have they changed the requirement for training to in-person only for NEW permits, and are now trying to screw people who didn't originally do that?  I did the on-line "class" about 15 years ago, when I first got my permit - and so I am wondering if they are denying renewals for people like me.

Looking at that form, I am thinking that if I check "no" on the question about (in-person) training, they will immediately deny it.  

Mine expires in early 2025, so I guess I will find out - and I am particularly interested in how this plays out.


I don’t see how they get away with that since any renewal only requires a copy of the permit (even an expired one as stated in the code). No renewal application can require proof of training. Not in the code any where for renewals. You don’t even have to apply in person. The code now says it can all be done in writing and the in person was taken out of the code. So they have to accept mail in applications with copies of the required documents. That is what my county refused to do saying they were refusing my renewal for an expired permit unless I showed up in person then they said oh well you also have to send proof of training. Yeah well it is right in front of you via the expired permit you moron.

Git’em, WTC!

If we need a Richmond Rally 2.0 at the hearing please send the bat signal. A dozen VA shooting buddies and I did it then and we’ll do it again.

Since you won't take money from us, I was forced to donate to VCDL instead.  

Break it off in the judge's ass.

I very much appreciate your dedication and support, but this one needs to be quiet and done with lawyers.

I'm not worried about winning, I'm worried they'll weasel from it. Specifically, as I understand the law I'm entitled to an Ore Tenus hearing which does not set law. What I want is for it to go to court and we get a ruling everyone can cite.

My biggest fear is they rollover on it and say "Sorry, here's your permit." That will not help the next guy. I'm looking to fix the breach with case law. If I end up going civil on them then profits will go to VCDL. It is time to start fighting.

That would mean admitting "they" made a mistake.

I'd say the odds of that are slim.

You would be surprised. Governments drop cases all the time for fear they'll lose tools.

Remember when people asked for discovery on Stingray and the government dropped pretty large actual crime charges? Whiskers remembers.

If it is extremist to believe that the government serves us and we do not serve the government than they may label me however they please. I have broken no laws, and perhaps worse the government has attempted to break the law.

Judges hate being overturned, so I'd say the odds are actually pretty high.  

However, that doesn't mean that Whiskers isn't going to accomplish anything here. Far from it.

If they roll over, his hearing will still be useful for the next guy (that gets into some state law nuance that I'm not going to know), but in the states I'm familiar with you can pay for an official transcript of a hearing, then others can use it. It's not precedent exactly but it isn't useless.

If they roll over, FOIA everyone and their dog for communications about the training requirement.  If some dickhead has promoted this idea, expose them, and possibly it is 1983 suit (and/or VA state equivalent) time.  

And, when it's done, absolutely file a bar complaint, espicially if FOIA shows any shady shit.

Hey, I'm just worried that if VA is run by despots they'll try to enforce the 1609 charter boundaries and bring that shit to me.



Cold beer is fine...but if you wind up in court in Richmond, I'll fly out of Chicago and pick up a pint of Malort on the way.

Malort!

I can walk to the distillery and grab a case if you’re interested.

You cannot feed the Virginians an entire case of malort at once.  A pint to sip in the parking garage outside the VA Supreme Court is safe.

With a case, they're going to pull up the 1609 map and decide to liberate parts of Canada.  It's going to ruin my entire weekend to help with that, plus Alberta's flag will look odd with a titty.
