“On the other hand, what this tells us also is that the forces we’re aligned with… are now becoming solid fighting forces”. The bombings and attacks happened in villages north of the provincial capital, Ramadi, where Iraqi soldiers are based.
The move, expected to be announced today by Virginia Attorney General Mark R. Herring, follows an audit conducted by the attorney general’s office and the Virginia State Police pursuant to the state criminal code, which requires both agencies to determine whether reciprocating states “meet the requirements and qualifications” for recognition of their concealed handgun permits.

The Attorney General’s Office said, “25 states lacked adequate disqualifiers to deny a permit to someone who would be barred from obtaining a permit in Virginia”. State leaders can and should take action now to reduce gun violence and save lives.

Among the 25 states that will no longer be recognized are Virginia’s neighbors Kentucky, North Carolina and Tennessee and nearby Delaware, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

States are now being notified about the change, which goes into effect on February 1, Herring said.
