I carry as well. Either a Colt Govt. .380 or a Colt 1911, .45. Mostly the .380 as the 1911 is a bit hard to conceal. I was schooled, tested, certified, and licensed in FL which is state sanctioned, not by county as it is here in PA. I was told by the sherriff here that I should keep my FL CWP as long as they will renew it. Florida is recognised by almost every state. It is my understanding that VA has the most lax laws for purchase, and no waiting period. However until this nut walked on campus he had broken no laws and purchased his weapons legally. I heard that the serial numbers were obliterated though and I can't figure out why he would have done that. The guns would have had to have a serial number to be sold so he had to be the one who scratched them out.

On another tack, I was at a gun show last weekend and the "black guns" were flying out the door. I'm no prude, but I see no use for weapons like that in the public sector. People are scrambling to buy them so they get grandfathered in when they get banned again, this recent incident should ice that one.
