Free Vision Test: (w/ UPDATES)

UPDATE:
Terry McAuliffe, with a little help from Lowell at Blue Virginia, is also attacking Creigh’s record on guns, prompting this response from prominent Moran supporter Karen Duncan (aka Anonymous is a Woman):
I hate to say this, Lowell, but being for gun control has never been a winning issue for Virginia, except in Arlington. That’s why there were “Sportsmen for Warner,” “Sportsmen for Kaine,” and “Sportsmen for Webb” groups.
aznew from The Virginia Democrat comments:
At least Creigh is consistent and honest about where he stands. When I asked McAuliffe at the Shad about closing the gun show loophole, he said we didn’t need any more laws, we just needed to enforce what was on the books already.
I didn’t agree, but gave him the benefit of the doubt on the answer.
Then, a few weeks later, asked the same question at the Farm Team Debate, he changed his tune, and we needed new legislation immediately.
Now, THOSE are facts, Lowell. Maybe you don’t like Creigh’s position on this, but at least his position is honest and consistent.
UPDATE II:
The Donkey sums this up:
Trouble is, in Virginia, it is already legal to carry in bars: but the weapons must be carried openly rather than being concealed. That means that folks with concealed carry permits must doff their coats and bare their firearms wherever liquor is served.
Deeds votes simply would have allowed these CC permit holders to keep their coats on in bars and restaurants, an option that seems both public spirited and safety conscious. Nobody argues that people carrying sidearms – openly or concealed – should be allowed to drink: and the legislation does not allow this. McAuliffe’s argument that Deeds voted to mix guns and alcohol falls flat.
