Congrats Virginia!!!

The NRA, NSSF and Safari Club International were in the fight with them.
Virginia's Senate passed a bill last year, but a House sub committee blocked any action in their House.
One reason the big guns came in this year was due to the Senate win, and also because VA had grassroots efforts, via FB, on the ground.
If you are on FB, look up Legalize Virginia Sunday Hunting for All. Or try the link. West Virginia is also organizing. The PA lawsuit is filed and awaiting a decision by a judge for it to continue. Of course, we have been waiting since October.
A rumor is that the big guns will now turn their attention to the north.....
We hope to gather with some folks down in Richmond when this is all over in Virginia.
Brad, I feel that PA is closer to getting Sunday hunting than CT will ever be. Hunting is not only part of the culture for a large part of PA but there are already limited hunting opportunities on Sundays in place such as coyotes and crows.
CT is a far ways off of Sunday hunting statewide, we cannot even get Sunday hunting on private land with archery equipment passed. Maybe the only thing that we can hope for is to have the remaining states that currently ban Sunday hunting change and maybe this could provide support for CT to follow. If not, I guess we will be relagated to buying alcohol, going to strip clubs and smoking pot with our kids on Sunday rather than hunting...after church of course....LOL
Actually, PA is so far from having full SH I would bet you guys would have it sooner, if we waited for our Legislature. We can't even get a committee vote on it.
