Read, Act, Spread the Word
Part 1 of this was Va residents contacting the Va Rep who headed the committee handling this. Part 2 was contacting Va Reps, 3 was contacting Paul Ryan, now its a petition to Trump. 1, 2, and 3 are done. Get to work on 4.

In the first 24 hours, the VCDL petition to President Trump to push Congress forward on National Reciprocity garnered 3,000 signatures! By 3 am there were 3,518. That was from mostly from VCDL members and VA-ALERT subscribers and also from a few other groups.
Not bad, but we need another 97,000 signatures in the remaining 29 days.
IF YOU ARE GETTING THIS EMAIL AND HAVE NOT YET SIGNED THAT PETITION, PLEASE DO SO. That will boost the count significantly.
Other ideas on getting the message out as far as possible:
* Post on chat groups, especially those that are seen by other states. However, even if just Virginia, that helps. (I put items on AR15.com and Glocktalk.com under "Politics", for example)
* Have each of your family members and friends sign it
* Post on social media - Twitter, Facebook, etc.
* See if any gun clubs you belong to will broadcast the information to their membership
* Contact gun stores and gun ranges to see if they can help let their customers know
Heck, Virginia has 425,000 CHP holders alone! It's just a matter of finding a way to reach as many of them as we can.
Here's the information to post and the link to the petition:
LONG VERSION
Help us get National Concealed Carry Reciprocity, so permit holders can carry in all states!
The petition below, which is on the White House website, requires 100,000 signature BY AUGUST 17TH to be considered by the President. Please sign and forward to any and all gun groups you know - from gun clubs, gun organizations, chat groups, friends, family, coworkers, and fellow church members!
We can do this! But we need all the help we can get from gun owners across the nation.

Here's the petition's wording:
National Reciprocity for the Nation's 17 Million Concealed Handgun Permit Holders!
Mr. President, you have said many times that you would sign a national concealed carry reciprocity bill. Please urge Congress to pass H.R. 38 as soon as possible!
H.R. 38 will allow America's 17 million concealed handgun permit holders to carry in every state in the Union as they go about their lives. As the recent shooting in Alexandria shows, crime and terrorism have no borders. Neither should self-defense!
No other group is as law-abiding as concealed handgun permit holders, regardless of which state they are from.
Currently over 20 states, such as Virginia, North Carolina, and Arizona, already honor permits from all other states, without issue. H.R. 38 will simply make such recognition uniform across the nation and will save many innocent American lives!
SHORT VERSION
Help make National Concealed Carry Reciprocity a reality! You should be allowed to carry and protect yourself in all 50 states.
Please sign this White House petition for President Trump to push Congress into action, passing H.R. 38!
