Your definition of "Secured" Glove box carry

You would think with all the attorneys in both houses of the state legislature they would have defined the term in the law explicitly and clearly.

Bureaucrats at there finest.:rolleyes: Just like the wonderful Pelosi stated about the health care bill we'll pass it so we can find out whats in it.:eek:
Here in FLA when CCW issued permits by the state became law they overlooked the school issue in this way. If you walked across the street from a school OR were in your car and drove past the front of the school you were in violation of the CCW law with regards to distance from a school and a concealed firearm. They had to amend the laws they passed because they realized the screw up. It happens, its life. As in general how many times have any of us expressed ourselves and were NOT clear and concise in every way.
 
That's also the reason why I no longer keep my wallet in my right back pocket when I carry, the gun being at the 330 position... nervous this makes the police man.

This is also why I keep my dummy wallet in my back pocket, and the real one up front. I can reach for the fake wallet and am right there if I need to draw...which I would try to avoid if a fake wallet were the only loss.
 
What if my fake wallet would normally hold the same amount of money as my real one lol. I hope all goes well for you man. I know how the Communist wealth of Va Court System works.
 
Attention, Peteydoug:

Ok, court appointed may be good, bad, or average. The odds are not in your favor. It's your job to contact your attorney well before trial, but make sure you don't get railroaded. You have an absolute right to a whole, new trial with a jury in the Circuit Court if you're found guilty in the General District Court, so don't let anyone tell you that you have to accept a plea bargain. Make sure your lawyer knows early on that you intend to plead not guilty and you want him to be prepared to go to trial. If you're found guilty by the GDC Judge (by the way, a magistrate in Virginia is not a "judge", and is not even required to be an attorney), then call me.
 
I'm confused by these two points. If you weren't doing anything wrong or illegal, then why do you still have "court"?

Magistrates cannot vacate charges.

If you have an attorney have them try and contact the Commonwealth's Attorney and have the whole thing 'nolle prossed.'

At the least your attorney should buttonhole the CA before the case is called.

Many of the CAs will talk to another attorney they see and ask what case they are there for if they see them in court.
 
Okay, a much needed update. I had court earlier today and I was found guilty, sentenced to 30 days in jail(All Suspended), and a $100 fine. So I went ahead and appealed it. The judge looked confused and it was the prosecuter that pushed her to find me guilty. This was not what I was expecting and i'm quite frustrated with this ordeal. My court appointed lawyer will be there at the appeal but i'm thinking about taking another route. I might just write a letter to the Governor, and who knows from there on. I really want to be entitled to some sort of restitution, for being thrown in jail, found guilty, having my gun taken away, and running around to the courts.

Are you off your F'ing gourd????:eek::eek::eek:

Did you go to court without your own attorney?

No wonder you were "found guilty, sentenced to 30 days in jail(All Suspended), and a $100 fine."

GET AN ATTORNEY.

This is not the place to use an appointed attorney.

You probably did not have a court reporter for this 'trial' and that alone causes difficulty on appeal.

The governor is not going to do anything, and you are NOT going to get "some sort of restitution, for being thrown in jail, found guilty, having my gun taken away, and running around to the courts" without suing the police department.
