The League of Women Voters of the Fairfax Area's Mout Vernon Evening (MVE) Unit meeting on Thursday, June 9, 7:45 p.m.

The meeting will be held at the Paul Spring Retirement Community's Mount Vernon Room, 7116 Fort Hunt Road, Alexandria 22307

PLEASE JOIN US! When members of the League of Women Voters of the Fairfax Area studied “Improving Firearms Safety in Virginia,” they learned that in Virginia, contrary to Federal law, convicted perpetrators of misdemeanor domestic abuse were permitted to keep firearms already in their possession. Members of the League asked the question, “How can state law differ from state law? This month’s study responds to that question. Attend the unit meeting to discuss how “conflict of law,” jurisdiction, the doctrine of preemption as well as express and implied powers have been applied in our dual court systems and how ongoing conflicts are being resolved.
