Delegate Taylor Files Commonsense Legislation Allowing National Guardsmen Ability To Further Protect Themselves. 


VIRGINIA BEACH-- Delegate Scott Taylor, former Navy SEAL and Iraq War veteran, files commonsense legislation making Virginia concealed-carry permits possessed by National Guardsmen applicable while they are on duty at such places as recruitment centers. Delegate Taylor stated, "Our citizen soldiers should have the same ability we have to defend themselves,  their peers, or their families. From stated targets by Islamic terrorists online to an actual attack in Chattanooga, TN, the threat is clearly real." Delegate Taylor's bill would not stop military commanders' decision to prevent concealed carry, where it may be determined doing so would interfere with training or other exercises.
