King William County, VA, CCW permit holder alert

[stansdds]

I received an alert from the Virginia Citizens Defense League regarding a potential issue with the recently issued, laminated CCW permits issued by King William County, VA. Sometimes wording is everything and evidently the wording on these new permits gives the holder permission to carry the permit. Here is the quote from the email.

2. King William County CHP holders – check your permit!

---

An eagle-eyed VCDL member noticed a problem with the wording on his brand-new plastic CHP issued in King William County. On the permit, was this wording:

"Permit to carry a concealed handgun permit"

That permit must have been issued by the Department of Redundancy Department! ;-)

As written, that permit allows you to carry a CHP, but not a concealed handgun.

It was reported to the Circuit Court Clerk's office and, at first, they didn't see the problem. However, in a fast follow up email the head slapping had begun. The Clerk quickly issued a corrected permit.

Mistakes happen and VCDL commends Clerk Tina Glazebrook for providing a quick fix to the problem once it was brought to her attention.
