#1 Pepper spray and tasers been banned for awhile, in too many places which is a sad state of affairs. I live in one of the states trifling enough to ban them (name of state withheld to protect the guilty). Hint: one of the "enlightened" left leaning East Coast States. That doesn't stop me though ;-p I'll be damned if some dude is going to mug me and stuff me in his car trunk because I wouldnt carry a little capsaicin infused water and a knife... I'd rather be convicted of carrying if and when I needed them than not carry them. Period.

#2 I meant to say pepper spray and tasers have been banned for awhile, too, in too many places. Slippery suckers those keys.

#4 Thats a bonus. Here its like conducting a 3 stage maneouver in B.S. paperworks, with an average turnaround taking anywhere up to 2 or 3 months and hefty fees.

#6 CCW is $50 in Virginia (at least in my area).

(Plus the cost of the firearms class the first time only, if you don't already have proof of competency w/firearms, such as ex-military or police, etc.)

Virginia is a "shall-issue" state. Didn't used to be that way, but some judges blatently overstepped in their denials - and didn't even try to hide it - and the General Assembly reacted as they should have.

#7 "I'd rather be convicted of carrying if and when I needed them than not carry them.'

It may sound trite, GT, but it is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
