Oh, don't you worry about that. The law here requires the Circuit Court to issue Commonwealth residents a concealed carry permit upon request, if you're not a convicted felon and you pass any on-line gun safety test offered by anybody. So you can imagine why our LEOs may be a bit cranky. It's a hairy job. You never know what solid citizen has had a couple Colt 45s to go with his or her Colt .45.
We have a voter ID law but the concealed carry permit is an eligible ID.
Just the thing to establish your identity when faced with a sassy poll worker at an open primary contest. The primary poll workers are cranky because Commonwealth law requires all primaries to be open to all registered voters, regardless of party affiliation. If the party wants to limit it to their own members, they must have a convention nomination instead. Which the party has to pay for itself, unlike the primary, for which they can stick taxpayers with the tab.
Lest you get the wrong idea, the flag that flies on the mast in my front yard is the blue one with Virtus in the center emblem, not the red and white striped one. If you don't believe me, you can ask Luc.
What can I say, after nine generations down here you get used to it. Sic Semper Tyrannnus.
