Virginia’s leading Republicans are pushing a measure that would strip the Democrat governor of his protective detail – a move that comes in response to Attorney General Mark Herring’s unilateral curb on Second Amendment concealed-carry rights for residents of 25 other states who travel through the commonwealth.
Herring, in a <nobr>statement (http://www.wnd.com/2015/12/gop-moves-to-strip-democrat-governor-of-armed-security/#)</nobr> of his solo gun-control measure, said: “Our General Assembly has already identified who can and cannot conceal handguns in Virginia, and we cannot have that decision undermined by recognizing permits from other states with more permissive standards,” the Daily <nobr>Caller reported (http://www.wnd.com/2015/12/gop-moves-to-strip-democrat-governor-of-armed-security/#)</nobr>.
"...The GOP is fighting back.
Republican Sen. Bill Carrico said to the Herald Courier he is bringing forth a budget amendment this month to defund Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s protective detail.
“A lot of the governor’s power is deferred to the General Assembly at that point and I’ll be getting with my colleagues to circumvent everything this governor has done on this point,” Carrico said, the Daily Caller reported.
“I have a budget amendment that I’m looking at to take away his <nobr>executive protection (http://www.wnd.com/2015/12/gop-moves-to-strip-democrat-governor-of-armed-security/#)</nobr> unit. ...If he’s so afraid of guns, then I’m not going to surround him with armed state policemen.”
