I'll be contacting Securigard and the county administrators of Chesterfield and Surry. And state attorney general Ken Cuccinelli. And the Va. Dept. of Transportation that oversees operation of those ferries across the James River, from Surry County on the south side to the historic Triangle of Jamestown, Williamsburg and YORKTOWN on the north. Irony seems to be the theme of our times.
ReplyDeleteI am disgusted.

Contact link is on the left. No individual emails listed, so one does for all.
Deep in Rep. Bobby Scott's district.
Not to forget the VDOT "leadership" and the Commonwealth Transportation Board.
ReplyDeleteThe GRE Collective is very informative.
ReplyDeleteMost have probably heard of Sam Wolanyk by now, infamous for his "Don't touch my junk" remark. But before that, he sued for false arrest -- he was arrested for 'brandishing' and yes, he got into an argument.
But San Diego 'settled' as reported here.
Small world.
Well, it seems Surry itself in in violation of the law:
ReplyDeleteSurry County Prohibition on Loaded firearms
The problem - for Surry - is that they are prempted by the General Assembly. See here.
Note in particular subsection C.
Well now, the law is the law.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Mr. Codrea. My email to the general VDOT "contact us" form was forwarded to the Hampton Roads district supervisor. I want to go straight to the top.
ReplyDeleteSINCE the Surry deputy confronted Mr. Henick about "whether this [openly-carried in accordance with state law] handgun `is legal,'" I guess we need to thank the NRA for their "illegal gun" propaganda campaign. Again.
Surry County. Famous for delicious Smithfield ham! And river beaches and square miles of boating and fishing, and rural vistas of corn, soybean, peanuts, forest, more deer than people (24 residents to the square mile, 2000 census population around 7,000, same as it was in 1790). Where the population of half African-American, half Caucasian coexists peacefully.
ReplyDeleteRecently also famous for Michael Vick's dogfighting continuing-criminal-enterprise, and now this.
Makes you wonder what else is going on there in Mayberry.
Thanks for shining the light, Mr. Codrea.
I got an email back from VDOT Commissioner Greg Whirley. Can't beat that response time.
ReplyDeleteHe says he'll ask the Hampton Roads District administrator to look into the situation.
The Hampton Roads District information officer sent me a canned email response with helpful hints on how to not slow down the security men guarding our infrastructure. If I get an actual response, I'll share.
