| Description | When it comes to guns, both Sean Connaughton and Bill Bolling received high marks from the Virginia Citizens Defense League, but there are several key differences between the two candidates for lieutenant governor.
Both Republicans checked the anti-gun control option for most of the 13 questions. The dispute is in the three questions they answered differently.
. . .
The next question asked whether each candidate would vote to allow gun owners to bring weapons onto school property, provided they have concealed weapons permits. Current state law allows only law enforcement officers to bring guns to school.
Bolling answered yes, supporting a repeal of those laws, while Connaughton answered no.
"Given what happened at Bull Run Middle School last year, I obviously don't support anyone other than law enforcement officers carrying weapons on school property," Connaughton said. |
